Inspection Process And Output Timing - Panasonic PV500 User Manual

6.2.3 Inspection Process and Output Timing

Selecting Inspection Process
To reduce inspection time when the tact time is short, change operation mode.
Serial processing
The inspection time displayed on the screen is
as shown in the right figure.
In serial processing, the process from
"Image Capture" to "Result Output" in the
right figure is regarded as one process. The
START signal of the next inspection can be
accepted after all those operations are
completed.
The START signal cannot be input until the
READY signal turns on.
Parallel processing
Parallel processing is a mode to perform
inspections concurrently.
As the next image can be captured after image
capturing is complete, the inspection time can
be reduced as the right figure.
The third START signal can be input after the
READY signal turns on.
The screen shows time and cycle of
inspection.

Selecting Output Timing of General Results and
Images
Specify output timing of inspection results (general results) and inspection images to the external devices.
Output Results:
Synchronous:
Asynchronous:
Image Output:
Synchronous:
When outputting all results are completed, an inspection is complete. Because the
time of outputting general results is included, its inspection time is longer than
Asynchronous processing.
An inspection is complete before outputting results, and PV500 completes data
output until the next inspection result output. Because the time of outputting
general results is NOT included, its inspection time is shorter than Synchronous
processing.
An inspection is complete after image output is completed. Because the time of
outputting images is included, its inspection time is longer than the other two
options.
