Confirming the System Configuration

The FH/FZ5 are Vision Systems that perform measurement processing through a Sensor Controller on
measurement objects that are imaged by a Camera.
In a system configuration that is connected to a PLC, computer, or other external device, measurement
commands can be received from and measurement results can be output to the external device.

System Configuration

An overview of the FH/FZ5 series system configuration is given below.
