Vision System FH/FHV/FZ5 Series User’s Manual (Z365)
If you use the FH series / FZ5-800/1100/1200 series Sensor Controller, you will need to convert the
measurement flow to the parallelized flow in advance to specify the parallel processing. The conversion
can be done by applying the automatic parallelization to the flow and use the parallel processing items.
To specify this yourself, add parallel items as shown in the following measurement flow.
• The range from the Parallelize processing item to the Parallelize End processing item is called a par-
allel block.
• The processing range of the Parallelized Task processing item is called a task block. A task block is a
group of measurement processes that are distributed among multi-core CPU.
In a measurement flow, the task block is the range from the Parallelize Task processing item to the
next Parallelize Task processing item, or the point that comes just before the Parallelize End process-
ing item.
Important
Operation mode and parallel processing are not apply to FZ5-L series/FZ5-600 series.
Additional Information
If [Parallel process] is turned OFF in the [Operation mode setting], the measurement flow is
processed in series in order of the unit numbers.
 Processing Items for Parallel Processing
You use the following three items.
Refer to the Vision System FH/FHV/FZ5 Series Processing Item Function Reference Manual (Cat. No.
Z341) for information on the parameters for the above items.
