Any of the individual items for vision inspections that are partitioned and packaged so that they
can be flexibly combined.
These include the Search, Position Compensation, and Fine Matching items.
Processing items can be classified for image input ([Input image]), inspection/measurement
([Measurement]), image correction ([Compensate image]), inspection/measurement support
([Support measurement]), process branching ([Branch]), results external output ([Output
result]), resulting image display ([Display result]), etc.
You can freely classify processing items to handle a wide range of applications.
A scene (i.e., a unit for changing the measurement flow) is created by registering the
processing items as units.
A unit for changing the measurement flow that consists of a combination of processing items.
“Scene” is used because of the correspondence to the scene (i.e., type of measurement object
and inspection contents) where measurements are performed.
A scene is created for each measurement or measurement contents.

Vision System FH/FZ5 Series
User’s Manual (Z365)
You can easily achieve a changeover simply by changing the scene when the measurement
object or inspection content changes.
Normally you can set up to 128 scenes. If you need more than 128 scenes, you can separate
them into different groups or use the Conversion Scene Group Data Tool to create a scene
group that contains over 128 scenes.

Processing items are registered for the processing units to create a scene (i.e., a unit for
changing the measurement flow).
A trigger for executing measurements.
With a parallel interface, the STEP signal or command 00 (Continuous Measurement) is used. With
a serial interface, an Execute One Measurement or a Start Continuous Measurement command is
used.
A measurement that is performed to manually test (check) measurements under the conditions
that are set in the currently displayed scene.
Test measurements can be executed on an Adjustment Window. Processing is completed
inside the Controller and the measurement results are not normally output on an external
interface.
However, you can select [Output] in [Test measurement] to output the measurement results
after executing measurements.
A mode that processes the measurement flow for the first trigger and then processes the
measurement flow in parallel for the second trigger to achieve a high-speed trigger input
interval. It is used together with the multi-input function.
A trigger mode that allows you to independently processing multiple measurement flows.
With traditional image processing, two or more triggers cannot be acknowledged at the same
time.
In Multi-line Random-trigger Mode, you can randomly input multiple triggers into one Controller
to independently process multiple scenes in parallel.
A mode that allows you to adjust the flow and set parameters while performing measurements.
The enables adjustments without stopping the line or stopping inspections.
A logging mode that allows complete parallel processing of measurements and logging.
Traditionally, logging was not possible while processing measurements. Either measurements
or logging had to be given priority and the other one had to wait.
With this mode, you can save the measurement images in external memory without affecting
the transaction time.
Parallel processing splits part of the measurement flow into two or more tasks, and processes
each task in parallel to shorten the transaction time.
Processing items for parallel processing are used so that the user can specify the required
parallel processing.
multi-input function
4
A function that is used to consecutively and quickly input images.
It allows the next STEP signal to be acknowledged as soon as the image input processing is
completed. There is no need to wait for measurement processing to be completed.
You can check whether image input processing has been completed with the status of the
READY signal. Even if the READY signal is ON when measurement processing is being
executed, the next STEP signal can be acknowledged.

• Make sure to use the product with the power supply voltage specified by this manual or Instruction sheet.
• Do not connect AC power source to Sensor Controller. If connects AC power source, it might be a cause of
the failure.
• Use the wire of a suitable size (AWG 16 to 12) according to the current consumption.
• Use a DC power supply with safety measures against high-voltage spikes (safety extra low-voltage circuits
on the secondary side).
• Do the following confirmations again before turning on the power supply.
− Is the voltage and polarity of the power supply correct? (24 VDC)
− Is not the load of the output signal short-circuited?
− Is the load current of the output signal appropriate?
− Is not the mistake found in wiring?
− Is the voltage and polarity of the encoder power (ENC0_VDD/GND ENC1_VDD/GND) supply? (5 VDC)
• The recommended power supply is the S8VS-24 (manufactured by OMRON) or S8VK-G-24

Ground
• Make sure the power supply circuit of the FH Sensor Controller is insulated from the internal circuit.
Refer to this manual or Instruction sheet.
• When the connected camera to Sensor Control comes packaged with a base, make sure to mount with the
base. Since the enclosure of the camera main body made of metals is short-circuited with the internal
circuit, the internal circuit might be short-circuited with FG if no base is used, so that failures or
malfunctions may be caused.
Perform Class D grounding (with a grounding resistance of 100 Ω or less).
Keep the ground line as short as possible by setting the grounding point as close as possible.
Ground the FH Sensor Controller independently. If sharing the ground line with other devices or
connecting it with a building beam, the Sensor Controller might be adversely effected.
• Check wiring again before turning on the FH Sensor Controller.
• Do not ground the plus (+) terminal when the FH series Sensor Controller is connected to the FH-SC12/

Basic Mechanism for Measurements
An FH/FZ5-series Sensor Controller uses pre-built packages that contain all the processing tasks (for image
input, measurement processing, displays, outputs, etc.) that are required for vision inspections.
You arrange these packaged processes in order of execution of the vision inspection.
An FH/FZ5-series Controller executes vision inspections according to user-created flows.
In the FH/FZ5, a flow that contains packaged processes that are arranged in order of execution of processing items and
image processing is called a measurement flow.
Processing items and measurement flows can have more than one setting. You can switch the setting based on the scene
to inspect. (Reference: Setting Scenes (Measurement Flows) (p.53))
Concept of Measurement Processing
When the FH/FZ5 receives a measurement trigger from the PLC or other external device, the image input
from a Camera, measurement processing, and output of measurement results (e.g., OK/NG judgement
results) are executed in the order that those processing items are registered in the measurement flow.
• In the measurement flow, you can change the processing to execute based on the inspection results or input conditions of
the vision inspection.
• You can use macro processing to execute pre-packaged processing items and functions in the FH/FZ5 to create original
programs. This allows you to create original measurement processes, display processing, input and output processing,
and settings dialog boxes that are custom-tailored to your application.
