1 On the Main Window (Layout 0), select [Function] - [Edit flow].
2 Select a Multi-trigger Imaging processing item.
3 Click the [Set] button.
4 Configure the Mode and Timeout.
• Multi-trigger Imaging cannot be used when the Operation mode is [Double Speed Multi-input].
• Set the Multi-trigger Imaging processing item to
the top (unit 0) of the flow.
• Always set only one Multi-trigger Imaging processing item in one flow.
• The signals that can be used as an image ca
pture tri
gger are STEP signal of parallel and Trigger signal of EtherCAT.
Measurement executed by signals other than these signals or control command does not wait the STEP signal and flow
is executed automatically as the controller does in the previous system.
• If the Image mode of the Image Window Setting is set as [T
hrough], flow is executed automatically as the controller does
in the previous system.

Description
Mode
• [Multi-input]
• Non-Multi-input
Set the processing mode of Multi-tri
gger Imaging Task.
• Multi-input mode:
Select this if Multi-input mode is use
d
in the Multi-trigger Imaging Task.
The Camera setting for the Input image proces
sing item of the first Multi-
trigger Imaging Task is applied to that for other Input image processing items
that are executed in Multi-trigger Imaging Tasks.
• Non-Multi-input:
Cameras operate according to their own settings.
The Camera setting for the Input image proce
s
sing item of the Multi-trigger
Imaging Task is applied to each execution of Input image processing items.
Because Camera setting is executed at each execution of Input image
processing item, the time that READY signal stays OFF becomes longer by
several ms to several tens of ms compared with that in Multi-input mode.
Timeout
1 to 60s
[10]
Set the time for timeout of Multi-trigger Imaging Task block.
It is a wait time between a Multi-trigge
r
Imaging Task and the next one. When a
STEP signal is not input within the timeout time after the READY signal turns
ON, the Multi-trigger Imaging unit judgment will be NG.
