✎Configuring the Output Settings
Set the measured values/judged values to output in "Output Settings". This section describes how to assign tool measurement
values/judgment values.
(In the description, the following are output: 1: Total Status Value, 2: T100: Pattern Search. Pattern X Position Result, 3: T100:
Pattern Search. Pattern XY Position Result, 4: T101: Area. Area Result, 5: T102: OCR. Recognized Character (String), 6: T100: Pattern
Search. Judged Value, 7: T101: Area. Judged Value, 8: Program Time, 9: Total Count)

Open "Output Settings", and select "PLC- Link".
When added, the result output unit opens.
2
Press "Select Data", and select the target data to output.
Items that can be output are
categorized into "Measured Value",
"Judged Value", and "Variables".
Select an item to these categories and
press "Add" to add the item.
You can change the output order of
the added items, or delete the items.
3
After finishing adding data, press "OK". Check the data to output and the data memory address.
KEYENCE CORPORATION. Vision System Division
The added output data and the list of
data memory address to which the
data is output are displayed.
The start of the data memory address
is specified in "Result Output
Address" in [Global] >
[Communications & I/O] > [PLC‐Link]
(Data memory 500 in the above
example).
See the next page for the output
format when storing in the data
memory.
‐ 11 ‐ www.keyence.com
✎Checking the Output Format/Flow for the Data Memory
1
Check the data memory and word count to use for the result output.
Use "Result Output Address", "Result Ready Address" and "Result Ack Address" in [Global] > [Communications & I/O] > [PLC‐
Link].
2
Check the example of outputting the result data to the data memory.
The CV‐X outputs the result data as follows:
- Result Output Address: Specify the first data memory for the
result data output by CV‐X.
* The result data is stored starting from this address by 2 words per
data item (2 words per character).
- Result Ready Address (bit): Specify the data memory for CV‐X to
notify when the result data has been written.
* The address to use is 1 word.
- Result Ack Address (bit): Specify the data memory for PLC to
notify when the result data has been read.
* The address to use is 1 word.
- Acknowledge result output completion: Uncheck the checkbox to
restrict the Result Ready Address (bit) control. PLC cannot detect
the update timing of the result data, but the tact is fast. Use this
option when you wish to know the latest result only.

CX Programmer.

··· Integer type data: Output as is using 2 words
Character data: 1 character output in ASCII code using 2 words
* When "String" is output, the DM use amount varies depending on
the specified character count. In the left example, "Detected String"
of the OCR tool is output. The string, "KEYENCE", consists of 7
characters, but as [Block Set] > [Characters] of the OCR tool is "10",
20 words (10 characters) of DM510 to 529 are used. Changing the
character count setting also changes the data memory to use. If it
may be changed, it is recommended that you set it up at the end of
the output settings.

Representative data output procedure
Operations of data output procedure depending on "Result Output Settings" configured in step 1
1. When both "Acknowledge result output completion" and "Enable Handshake" are checked
Follows the above procedure, and guarantees that all result data output from CV‐X is sent to PLC.
However, if the PLC repeats measurement without controlling Result Ack Address (bit), the output buffer of CV‐X overflows,
and trigger input becomes impossible.
2. When "Acknowledge result output completion" is checked and "Enable Handshake" is unchecked (default)
CV‐X does not check the value of Result Ack Address (bit) in and of the above procedure.
This speeds up the output. PLC can overwrite 1 of Result Ready Address (bit) written by CV‐X with 0 to find the result update
timing of CV‐X.
3. When "Acknowledge result output completion" is unchecked (In this case, "Enable Handshake" is also
unchecked)
CV‐X neither checks the value of Result Ack Address (bit) in and of the above procedure nor updates the value of Result
Ready Address (bit) in and of the above procedure.
This speeds up the output more, but PLC cannot find the result update timing of CV‐X.
This can be used when you wish to obtain the latest result only.

4. Controlling the Controller (PLC-Link) [SYSMAC CJ Series]
✎ Checking the Global Settings of the CV-X Series
1
On the "Global" menu, select [Communications & I/O] > [PLC-Link] to open the global "PLC-Link" settings
screen.
* The screen on the left shows that
Mode is set to "PLC‐ Link (Ethernet)",
but the settings (in the red frame) in
this section (Controlling the
Controller) are the same as those of
"PLC‐ Link (RS‐232C)".
2
Check the setting items necessary for controller control.
Select the Command Execute Event.
Select Polling for Command Execute Event.
Check the data memory to use for the following three items.
‐ Command Address
‐ Command Complete Address (bit)
‐ Command Result Address
The data memory address to use can be changed.
Be careful not to specify an address of a data memory being used for another program of PLC.
3
Select "OK" to close the global "PLC-Link" settings screen.
KEYENCE CORPORATION. Vision System Division

✎ Command Processing Flow
To control the controller via PLC‐Link, use the number‐specified commands.
1
Refer to "Control/Data Output via Commands" in the user's manual to check the commands to use and the
formats of the number-specified commands.
Here is an example of using the PW command (command No. 24) that switches the program settings.
The following must be specified to execute the PW
command:
Command No. (24)
SD card No. (d) of the switch target program settings
Setting No. (nnn)
Specify 2‐word integer values from the data memory
specified as the "Command Address" in order.
The command processing result is stored to the
address specified as the "Command Result Address".

Command execution procedure
There are two methods for executing a command: "PLC Terminal" and "Polling". If "Polling" is selected, terminal control
is not required but the communication for polling is required, and the command execution may be slower than "PLC
Terminal".
"PLC Terminal"
Executes a command when the input terminal IN15 "PLC Terminal" is set.
"Polling"
Always monitors (polls) the data memory specified in "Command Execute Address (bit)", and executes a command
when it is set.

✎ Command Execution Procedure Example: Save Settings (SS Command)
Here is an example of a representative command execution procedure. This section explains an example of executing the SS
(Save Settings) command, which does not use a command parameter, with Command Execute Event set to "Polling". The
screens with blue frames show when "Memory" → "D" is selected, and the memory area monitor display is used in CX
Programmer for confirmation (double‐click the memory area to enter a value).
Check the SS (Save Settings) command operation.
1
1. Enter "12", the SS command No., in the data memory
corresponding to the PLC Command Address (D100 in this
example).
* The address to use is 1 word.
2. Enter 1 in the data memory corresponding to the PLC
Command Execution Address (bit) (D002 in this example).
* The address to use is 1 word.
3. The command is executed.
4. Check if the values of the data memory corresponding
to the PLC Command Complete Address (bit) and
Command Result Address (D003 and D200 respectively
in this example) have changed.
Set the command parameter in 2 word display mode.
Set other settings in 1 word display mode.
When the command is successful: CV‐X writes "1" into Command
Complete Address (bit), and "0" into Command Result Address.
When the command fails: CV‐X writes "1" into Command Complete
Address (bit), and an error code into Command Result Address.

✎ Command Execution Procedure Example: Rewrite Judgment Conditions (DW)
Here is an example of a representative command execution procedure. This section explains an example of executing the DW
(Rewrite Judgment Conditions) command, which specifies numeric values as command parameters, with Command Execute
Event set to "Polling". The screens with blue frames show when "Memory" → "D" is selected, and the memory area monitor
display is used in CX Programmer (double‐click the memory area to enter a value).
1
Check the DW (Rewrite Judgment Conditions) command operation.
1. Enter "45", the DW command No., in the data memory
