Timeout (Conditional Branch) - Omron FH-3 Series Reference Manual

Important
• Parameters for units that do not pass through a conditional branch
The measurement results other than the unit judgement result (JG) retain the measurement results from the
previous time the unit passed through the conditional branch. The JG for units that do not pass through the
condition branch becomes unmeasured (0). Note, however, that the unit JG becomes unmeasured at the point in
time when all the measurement processing ends. During flow processing, the previous time judgement (JG) is
retained.

Timeout (Conditional Branch)

Set the conditions under which the branching processing times out.
1
In the Item Tab area, click [Timeout].
2
In the "Timeout" area, specify a value
for each item.
Setting item
Use timeout
Setting time
Important
• Normally the "Use timeout" check box should be selected. Unchecking the [Use timeout] checkbox may cause the
measurement flow to become stuck in an infinite loop when measurements are started depending on the
branching processing settings.
• If using conditional branching within the block for the parallelization task in the measurement flow, set it up so that
branching occurs only within the relevant block for the parallelization task. Attempting to introduce branching
across blocks for the parallelization task may cause the timout function to stop working even with the [Use
timeout] checkbox checked.
FH/FZ5 Processing Item Function Reference Manual
Setting value
[Factory default]
Click on the [Use timeout] checkbox to turn it ON if you
• Unchecked
want the branching processing to time out after a set
• [Checked]
amount of time passes.
This can be set when the "Use timeout" checkbox is
selected.
Set the length of time until the measurement process
times out on the selected processing unit in seconds.
1 to 3600 [60] When the measurement process for this processing unit
is executed, a timeout occurs once the amount of time
that passes since the start of the measurement exceeds
the set [Setting time]. If a timeout occurs to disrupt the
measurement process, the judgement results in NG.
