• Do not place processing items between the Parallelize processing item and Parallelize Task
processing item. Any processing units that are placed in this position will not be executed.
• Always insert the Parallelize Task processing item between theParallelize processing item and
Parallelize End processing item.
• If you program a branch under a Parallelize Task processing item, make sure the branch stays
within the range of the Parallelize Task processing item.
Specific Example of Parallel Processing
You can use the automatic parallelization in combination with the manual parallelization to parallelize
the following example flow. First, use the automatic parallelization to parallelize three inspection items,
3. Search, 5. Search, and 7. Search. Then, use the manual parallelization to parallelize two inspection
items, Camera Switching and 10. Search.
