Preventing Chattering
• The Sensor is equippe d with an an ti-chatter ing function, but if the chattering is 100 μs or longer, a faulty input may
occur. (Input signals of 99 μs or shorter are ignored. Signals of 100 μs or longer are treated as input signals.)
• Use no-contact output devices (e.g., SSR or PLC transistor output) for the input signals. If contacts (e.g., relay) are
used, chattering may cause the trigger to be input again during execution of a measurement.

This function widens the dynamic range to improve the image quality of objects with contrasting light and dark
areas. This function is particularly effective for objects with highly contrasting light and dark areas, and when
bright objects are mixed together with dark objects.
Note the following points:
• Only use the HDR function when the inspected object is stopped.
Images are captured using different shutter speeds and combined. If the object moves, a blurred image will
result.
• Because images of differing brigh tness are combined, the resulting combined image will have slightly less
contrast.

Using a Polarizing Filter
Specular reflections can be eliminated from an image b y attaching a FQ-XF1 Polarizing Filter to the Sensor.
Observe the following precautions .
• The image will be darker compared to when no filter is used.
• If the image becomes too dark, adjust the brightness.
p. 39
• Mounting the Filter
1 Hook the filter in the hole at the top of the Sensor.
2 Using the top section as a pivot point, pull down the
filter so that it attaches to the Sensor.

3-3 Adjusting the Object Position
Trigger input Sensor
Delay from when the trigger is input until
when Sensor input is started.
Delay time
If objects are moving, the position in the image of the characteristic that is to be measured will vary according
to the timing of the trigger signal. The FQ Sensor offers two different ways to adjust this positi on variation.
Function Description Reference
Trigger delay A delay can be applied from when the trigger (the TRIG signal) is input until when the
image is input, to synchronize the timing of image input with the speed of the moving
objects.
Adjusting the Image Timing
The internal timing for taking an image can be set to be delayed in relation to the external trigger signal. This
can be used to adjust the object position in the image, e.g., if an exter nal trigger sensor is used. If the object
position still varies in the image the Position Compensation function must also be used.

3-4 Pre venting Mutual Interference of Multiple Sensor s
Sensor 0
Sensor 1
Trigger Sensor
Important
When the same trigger signal is input to multiple Sensors, the lighting from one Sensor may affect the
measurements of the other Sensors. This is called mutual interference. This kind of interference can be
prevented offsetting the image input timing of each Sensor from when the trigger signal is received.
Example:
A trigger (i.e., the TRIG signal) is input to Sensor 0 and Sensor 1 at the same time.
TRIG signal
Timing of taking the image
Sensor 0
Sensor 1
Sensor 0 immediately begins image input when th e trigger is input.
Sensor 1 begins image input after the specified time has passed.
1 Change to the setup for to Sensor 1.

• The delay time for preventing mutual interference must be longer than the shutter time.
FQ-CR2 User’s Manual
When the lighting built into the Sensor is used, the shutter time is 4 ms max. Therefore make the delay at
least 4 ms.

Checking the Measurement Takt Time
The measurement time of this Sensor can be checked from the Setup or Run Mode display.
The measurement time is the time taken from when a trigger is input until when all measurement processes are
executed.
During the measurement time, this Sensor will not accept the next trigger. This means that the measurement
time is the basic measurement takt time.
With the partial input function, it is possible to input only images that are in the region that is necessary for
measurements.
The image measurement region becomes smaller and thus the image in put time is shortened.
If you use partial input, perform teaching again.

With an FQ Sensor, the inspection items that can be processed at the same time are registered as scenes. A
command input from an external de vice or a touch panel operation can be used to select a certain scene.
If a scene is registered for each type of measurement object or inspection, the line process can be changed
simply by changing the scene when the measureme nt obj ect or i nspecti on c hang es. A maximum of 32 screens
can be created.

Operation with Default Configuration
This section describes the basic connections and signal flow with external devices.
With the default settings, the Sensor operates in the following manner.
• Create the ladder program to control the TRIG and IN5 input signals so that they do not turn ON while the BUSY
signal is ON. If not, a TRIG input error will occur and the ERROR signal will turn ON.
• Operation When the Sensor Power Supply Is Turned ON
The BUSY signal will operate as shown below when the Sensor’s power supply is turned ON.
Create the ladder program in the PLC or other external device so that the BUSY signal is ignored while it turns OFF,
ON, and OFF again for up to 5 s after the power supply is turned ON.

Setting the Measurement Trigger
The measurement trigger can be chosen from the following two types:
• One-shot measurement: One measurement is performed for each exter nal trigger.
• Continuous measurement: Measurements are performed continuously.
Performing One Measurement for Each External Trigger
A measurement trigger is input as the TRIG signal from a proximity sensor, PLC, or other external device.
One measurement is performed when the TRIG signal turns ON.
