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

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.
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.
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.

Numbers are assigned to processing units in order from the top and they are executed
in that order.
Processing items are registered for the processing units to create a scene (i.e., a unit

is used. With a serial interface, an Execute One Measurement or a Start Continuous
Measurement command is used.

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.
Measurements are executed repeatedly and automatically without a trigger input.

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 storage 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.
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.

2's complement Binary numbers are generally used to represent negative numbers.
Negative numbers are expressed by "Inverting all bits of a positive number and adding
1 to the result".
(Example) "−1" is expressed as 2's complement
"−1" can be calculated by "0-1".
There are methods for simple calculation without performing this kind of computation.
For instance, "Negative number = inverting all bits of a positive number and then adding 1 to the result".
00000001 (= 1)

The first digit is used to judge whether the number is positive or negative.
When 0: Positive number (or 0)
When 1: Negative number
The advantage of two's complement numbers is that positive and negative numbers
can be used as is in calculations.

• 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 con-
necting 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/FH-SM12. Doing so may cause a short circuit of the internal circuit, resulting in a malfunction.
The internal circuit is possible to be given damage, it can be cause the failure.

2-1 Basic Mechanism for Measurements
An FH/FHV/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/FHV/FZ5-series Controller executes vision inspections according to user-created flows.
In the FH/FHV/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. (Refer to Section 5 Creating Measurement Scenes)
Concept of Measurement Processing
When the FH/FHV/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/
FHV/FZ5 to create original programs. This allows you to create original measurement processes, dis-

called a scene and you can set up to 128 scenes. Refer to 5-1 What Is a Scene? on page 5-2.
You can also combine more than one scene into a scene group. Management of scenes by scene
groups increases the number of scenes that you can handle. Refer to 7-1 What Is a Scene Group? on
page 7-2.

3-1 Preparing the Controller and Cam-
eras
3-1-1 Camera Setup
FH series/FZ5 series Sensor Controllers use the CameraLink standard for camera connection. At normal camera connection, a single camera cable is used for a single camera, and each camera is connected to the Sensor Controller in the CameraLink base configuration. Starting from camera connector
0 on the Sensor Controller, connect cameras to the camera connectors you want to use in ascending
order of camera connector number.
• Immediately after starting up the FH series/FZ5 series Sensor Controller and immediately
after changing scenes, there will be no input image. No input image is processed as the same
color image as in the factory default state.
• If you open the Properties Dialog Box before inputting an image, click the Cancel button to
close the dialog box. Pressing the OK button in the dialog box will change the setting to the
same color camera setting as the factory default setting.

3 Basic Operations
Using Two Cables for High-frame-rate Camera Use (FH series only)
3-1 Preparing the Controller and Cameras
FH series Sensor Controllers support the CameraLink standard’s Base Configuration and Medium Configuration.
The Medium Configuration enables use at a higher frame rate than the Base Configuration, reducing
image input time. The configuration that can be connected will depend on the connected cameras.
See the instruction sheet of the cameras you are using.
To connect a camera in the Medium Configuration, you will need to use two camera cables of the same
type and length to connect the camera and Sensor Controller (two-cable connection).
Sensor Controller camera connectors should be connected as a pair with ascending consecutive even
and odd numbered connectors.
The table below shows the camera connector and camera number assignments when connecting the
Sensor Controller and camera cable with a two-cable connection.
Camera numbers for operation modes other than multi-line random trigger
mode
The table below shows the camera connector and camera number assignments when the operation
mode is a mode other than the multi-line random trigger mode.
A number corresponding to a Sensor Controller camera connector number is assigned for the camera number. When using two-cable connection, the even number in the pair of ascending consecutive camera connector numbers is assigned as the camera number.

• When connecting cameras with two-cable connection, use a pair of ascending consecutive
even and odd numbered Sensor Controller camera connector numbers for each camera. You
will not be able to get the image acquisitions correctly if you use camera connectors with
non-consecutive connector numbers, or if an odd numbered connector has a lower number
than the even numbered connector it is paired with.
• CameraLink medium configuration is only supported by FH series Sensor Controller.
• When [Operation mode setting] has been set to the multi-line random trigger mode, changing
the camera connections or [Multi-line Random-trigger mode] in the system settings may
change camera number assignments in line with the change made. After changing the camera connections or [Multi-line Random-trigger mode], before using the Sensor Controller,
check the camera numbers in the property setting screen for the [Camera Image Input] processing items or [Camera Image Input FH] processing items.
• STGOUT signals (STGOUT0 to STGOUT7) signals are tied to the camera connector numbers, not the camera numbers. When using CameraLink Medium Configuration or Multi-line
Random-trigger mode, check the camera connector number of a Sensor Controller that corresponds to the camera number.
• SHTOUT signal (SHTOUT0 to SHTOUT7) are tied to the Line number, not camera number.
When use Multi-line random-trigger mode, confirm the Line number and use SHTOUT signal.

When connecting cameras with two-cable connection, the camera connection screen in the
system settings displays the camera model for one member of the pair of camera connector
numbers, and displays [Disconnect] for the other.
One-cable Camera Connection
FH series/FZ5 series Sensor Controllers support the CameraLink standard’s Base Configuration. In the
base configuration, one camera cable is used to connect one camera. Starting from camera connector
0 on the Sensor Controller, connect cameras to the camera connectors you want to use in ascending
order of camera connector number.

3-6-1 Saving the Setting to the Controller [Data Save]
Before you turn OFF the power supply to the Controller, save the data that you have set to the flash
memory in the Controller.
The settings data in the flash memory of the Controller are loaded everytime the Controller is restarted,
so make sure to use the [Data save] command to save the settings data to the flash memory in the
Controller. Then, always restart the Controller. The settings data will not take effect unless you restart
the Controller. If you do not save the data to the flash memory in the Controller, changes to the settings
will be lost when you turn OFF the power supply.
1 In the Main Window (layout 0), click the [Data save] button in the Toolbox Pane to save the set-
tings data.
2 Turn OFF the power supply to the Controller and exit the system.
• Data That Is Saved
Scene data and system data are saved in the Controller. Logged images and data that are
saved in the RAM disk are not saved. Perform any of the following procedures to keep this
data.
• Copying Data Saved in the RAM disk to External Storage
Refer to 9-5 Copying or Moving Files between the Controller RAMDisk and an External
Storage Device on page 9-12.
• Changing the Save Destination for Logged Data to External Storage
Refer to 6-3-1 Logging Measurement Values and Measurement Images [Data Logging/
Image Logging] on page 6-8.
• Using the Scene Group Function
The scene data that is set for scene group 0 is saved in the Controller for models FZ5-L
series and FZ5-600 series. The scene data from scene groups 1 to 31 is saved to the external storage and overwrites any previously saved data. (For the FH series or FZ5-800/1100/
1200 series, all data is saved in the Controller by default.)

Important
3-6-2 Device Information Storage Tool
This tool will prevent issues happening at start-up of the Sensor Controller due to recognition delay for
external devices. Be sure to execute this tool when connecting external devices. For example, the following issues can be solved.
• In the case where the operation log save destination is set to an external device, the Sensor Controller fails to save operation records at start-up.
• In the case where a scene group is saved in an external device, the Sensor Controller fails to load the
scene group at start-up.
• When performing a measurement just after the start-up of the Sensor Controller, image logging into
an external device fails.
• Once this tool was utilized, the external device information cannot recover the factory settings even when [System initialization] in [Function] menu is executed.
• Remote operation is not supported.
• When executing this tool, the following information at the time of the tool executed is stored
in the Sensor Controller.
• Information on connected external storage such as device drivers and drive letters.
• Information on communication settings such as IP addresses.
If you changed the connecting configuration of external storage, or communication settings
such as IP addresses ([Tool] → [System settings] → [Communication] → [Ethernet] settings), be sure to execute this tool again.
• The information saved by this tool cannot be transferred to another Sensor Controller with
“Configuration copy” tool. Execute this tool per the Sensor Controller.
• The information for all connected external devices is memorized. Execute this tool after
removing unnecessary external devices to memorize.
• Some of external devices out of operation guarantee need to install a special driver. When
using this tool in a state of such external devices connected, the Sensor Controller might
incorrectly operate. Do not execute this tool in such condition.
• When a Sensor Controller after this tool was executed is started up with network drives connected, the startup time might become longer.
