● Data Output after Measurements
Immediately after a single measurement or continuous measurements, the Vision Sensor will automatically
output the data for the measurements that are specified for output in advance to the I/O memory addresses or
variable that is specified for the input tag in the PLC.
This enables you to easily transfer the measurement results data for inspection items to the PLC.
When handshaking is enabled, the data is output from the Vision Sensor only when the condition to receive
that data are met at the PLC.
To output data, you must specify in advance the data to output (up to 64 items) after the measurements are
executed.
You must also specify in advance the output area (i.e., I/O memory addresses or variable) for the input tag to
store the data in the PLC.
After a single measurement or continuous measurements, the data is automatically stored in the output area
(i.e., I/O memory addresses or variable) that is specified for the input tag in the PLC via the connection from the
Vision Sensor to the PLC.
