Odd problem on GSM2 running USOS 4.52

Odd problem on GSM2 running USOS 4.52 | 1 April, 2023

Today I stumbled upon very odd issue - we have one GSM2 with FlehJet heads on both axes. New program was created and it stops on the first task for Head2 throwing out a message like this: "Component 0u1/0805 (reference id C4) can't be found with P2P cameras" There's no P2P camera on the front bank, just OTH camera on Head2 and other programs work just fine. Whatever I tried to do, does not help (like moving tasks up or down, changing pick sequence, you name it). Program has relatively large number of placements (1020) but we have a bigger ones that run just fine. I have no idea what can be wrong there. Did anybody see something like that? Btw. - Head1 continues to place parts just fine.

It might that the part data for that particular component got corrupted, and need to be deleted and recreated again, with the right camera specified in a vision information section. Or move that feeder to another head and see if it works

That was my first guess. But then I shuffled placement order, but machine always stops at the first part of the first task, regardless of what part it is. Like it wants to image it with P2P camera (which is absent) and ignoring the fact that there's OTH camera on Head2. And as I've said - when I run an older program, it just runs fine...

Well, this is a very odd bug - it turned out one of capacitors, defined as a no-lead, had pin definition changed to gull-wing! Interestingly, if that part was located on Head1, it won't cause machine hang-up...

There's a chance the vision system is seeing part of head 1 as it looks at the component. We get that with older nozzles on Philips equipment ( the black coating has worn to a silver shine ) and the component camera sees the nozzle tip, which annoyingly passes the vision parameters for a small diode. Daily 'colouring in' session with a black sharpie cures this short term. Re-blacking or replacing the nozzle would be a more lasting solution in our case
