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 inspec-
tions.
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.
Additional Information
In the FH/FHV/FZ5, a flow that contains packaged processes that are arranged in order of execu-
tion 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-
PLC or other external device
