Setting Communication Specifications (Parallel Interface)

Set the controller communication specifications. Use the same communication specification settings for the controller and the external device.
Reference
  1. On the Main screen, tap [System] menu - [Communication] - [Parallel].
    The Parallel window is displayed.
  2. Tap [Setting] to set communication specifications.

    Description
    Output polarity
    • [On at NG]
    • On at OK
    Select whether to turn on OR and DO0 to 15 when judgement result is OK or when it is NG.
    Output control
    [None]
    Method to output measurement results without synchronizing with external devices.
    When "Output Control" Is Set to "None"
    Handshaking
    Method to output measurement results while synchronizing with external devices.
    When "Output Control" Is Set to "Handshaking"
    Synchronization output
    Method to output measurement results while synchronizing with line processing timing. The STEP signal is ignored the number of times set in "Number of delay", and measurement results are output when the STEP signal next turns on. If through images are displayed, however, synchronization output cannot be used.
    When "Output Control" Is Set to "Synchronization Output"
    Output period
    2.0 to 5000.0 ms [10.0 ms]
    Valid only when "Output control" is set to "None".
    Set the cycle by which measurement results are output. Set the cycle so that the interval is equal to or longer than "Gate ON delay + Output time" and shorter than measurement interval.
    If the cycle is longer than the measurement interval, output timing will be delayed while measurement is being repeated.
    Gate ON delay
    1.0 to 1000.0 ms
    [1.0 ms]
    Set the time from when results are output to the parallel interface to when the GATE signal turns on. Waiting time until data output is stable.
    Set this so that it is longer than the external device delay time.
    Output time
    1.0 to 1000.0 ms
    [5.0 ms]
    Valid only when "Output control" is set to "None" or "Synchronization output".
    Set the GATE signal ON time. Set the time required for external devices to acquire measurement results.
    Timeout
    0.5 to 120.0 s
    [10.0 s]
    Valid only when "Output control" is set to "Handshaking".
    A timeout error occurs when no response from external devices is received within the time that has been set.
    Number of delay
    1 to 15
    [1]
    Valid only when "Output control" is set to "Synchronization output".
    Set the number of times that the STEP signal turning on will be ignored before measurement results of the STEP signal are output.
    One-shot OR signal
    • ON
    • [OFF]
    Select whether to maintain OR signal output for an arbitrary amount of time.
    Output time
    0.1 to 1000.0 ms
    [5.0 ms]
    Set the OR signal output time.
    Valid only when "One-shot OR signal" is set to ON. Set a value that is shorter than the measurement time.
  3. Tap [OK].
    The settings are confirmed and the Parallel window closes.
