Parallel Processing; Parallel Processing Settings (Automatic Parallelization); Parallel Processing Settings (Manual Parallelization) - Omron FH-1 series User Manual

Parallel Processing

This function is exclusively for an FH series / FZ5-1100 series.
There are two types of processing in the Parallel processing: Automatic parallelization and Manual
parallelization.
The automatic parallelization automatically parallelize a measurement flow if [Parallel Execute] under [Operation
mode setting] is turned ON.
The manual parallelization allows you to use the processing items for the parallel processings to freely edit a
measurement flow after automatic parallelization. If you use the manual parallelization to separate a part of the
measurement flow into multiple tasks and process each of these tasks in parallel reduces the processing time of
the measurements.

Parallel Processing Settings (Automatic Parallelization)

Parallel processing is available when [Parallel Execute] is set to ON in the [Operation mode setting].
If you turn ON [Parallel Execute] under [Operation mode setting], the automatic parallelization automatically
classify the type of processing items assigned to the measurement flow and parallelize the items of the same
classification.
Refer to the following for details on the processing items that are automatically parallelized.
Reference: Processing Items That Supports Automatic Parallelization (p.261)
It is possible to affect each of Operation mode when Parallel processing is ON. Please if needed, refer to
Reference: The effect of Parallel processing on the Operation mode (p.256).

Parallel Processing Settings (Manual Parallelization)

If you use the FH series / FZ5-1100 series Sensor Controller, you will need to convert the measurement flow to
the parallelized flow in advance to specify the parallel processing. The conversion can be done by applying the
automatic parallelization to the flow and use the parallel processing items.
To specify this yourself, add parallel items as shown in the following measurement flow.
