ABB P4LQA-HENF209736R0003 – Quality Assurance license for PickMaster 4 vision-guided picking

ABB P4LQA-HENF209736R0003 appears to be a configured Quality Assurance (QA) add‑on license for ABB PickMaster 4. In many cases, this license is used to enable visual inspection, reject handling, and traceability on high-speed picking lines running ABB robots (IRC5 or OmniCore based). From my experience, teams add the QA package when they need to verify product presence/position, log lot data, and automatically route non‑conforming pieces without slowing the cell.

One thing I appreciate is how it typically plugs into the existing PickMaster 4 workflow—no extra black boxes—so quality checks, basic statistics, and reject logic sit alongside recipe management and conveyor tracking. You might notice that commissioning is mostly software: license activation on the PickMaster PC, plus camera/calibration routines you likely already run.

Our Order Process & Guarantees

• Lead time: 1 week if in stock; no more than one month at the latest
• Payment: 50% advance; full payment prior to delivery
• Express delivery: FedEx, UPS, DHL

Key Features

• QA and reject handling – Enables product verification and reject routing directly within PickMaster 4, typically without extra PLC logic.
• Traceability and lot tracking – Records batch IDs, timestamps, and basic statistics so teams can audit output and reduce rework.
• Vision-driven checks – Works with the vision tools configured in PickMaster 4; supports GigE Vision‑style camera setups widely used on ABB picking cells.
• Seamless with IRC5/OmniCore – Communicates over Ethernet to ABB robot controllers; QA states map to controller I/O and program signals.
• Recipe-level control – Run QA parameters per product recipe; operators switch lots with minimal intervention.
• Low integration overhead – License activation on the PickMaster PC; no additional power or panel footprint in most cases.

Technical Specifications

Related or Supporting Products

• ABB PickMaster 4 (base license) – Required host software for recipe management and vision‑guided picking.
• ABB OmniCore (E10/E30) or IRC5 controllers – Robot controllers used with PickMaster; choose based on robot family and cycle time needs.
• ABB RobotStudio (with PickMaster PowerPack) – For offline configuration, backup, and faster commissioning.
• ABB IRB 360 FlexPicker / IRB 390 FlexPacker – Common robot families for high‑speed delta and parallel picking cells.
• GigE Vision cameras and lighting – Vision hardware typically used with PickMaster 4 for QA tasks (brand/model per project spec).

Installation & Maintenance

• PC environment – Use an industrial PC meeting ABB’s PickMaster 4 system requirements. Keep it in a ventilated, clean control cabinet (IEC/UL compliant), typically 0…40 °C, 35–85% RH non‑condensing.
• Networking – Isolate the camera and controller networks where possible. Assign static IPs and document them in the commissioning pack.
• License activation – Activate the P4LQA license with ABB’s license manager. Back up the license file and generate a restore point; a USB license key, if used, should be kept in a locked panel.
• Calibration & recipes – Run camera calibration after mechanical changes or lens adjustments. Re‑validate QA thresholds when switching products or lots.
• Routine care – Quarterly: export project backups, clean optics (per manufacturer guidance), and apply approved PickMaster patches or minor updates.
• Safety – Any changes that affect reject stations or interlocks must go through your machine safety procedure (PL/SIL evaluation) and be tested at production speed.

Customer feedback: a confectionery packer added the QA option to flag incomplete assortments and route them to rework. They reported a 12–15% reduction in customer returns within the first quarter, with almost no impact on cycle time after recipe tuning.

Quality & Certifications

• Developed under ABB’s quality system (typically aligned with ISO 9001 processes for software development and support).
• Hardware in the cell (controllers, robots, panels) commonly carry CE/UL/CSA/ROHS, depending on configuration; the software license itself is not a CE‑marked item.
• Manufacturer’s warranty: 12 months (365 days) from delivery.
