Items that Can Be Output as Output Data
Measurement Data
You can output up to eight items (32 bytes) with one Output Unit processing unit.
Note
• If you need to output nine or more data items, set more than one Output Unit processing unit in the measurement
flow.
Refer to Outputting Multiple Measurement Data Items (p.30).
• The number of data items that can be output by one Output Unit processing unit can be increased by changing a
setting when using PLC Link or EtherCAT communications, as described below.
• PLC Link: 256 max. (1,024 bytes max.)
• EtherCAT: 64 max. (256 bytes max.)
The following items can be output:
• Judgement result
• Measured parameters (correlation values, reference coordinates, etc.)
• Results calculated based on the values of the measured parameters
• Judgement results from expression results (Parallel Judgement Output)
Character Output (PLC Link Communications or Non-procedure Communications Only)
You can output the characters that were read by processing items such as Character Inspection.
• Character output is supported only for PLC Link communications or non-procedure communications.
• Maximum number of output characters are as follows.
• Character Inspection: 32 characters
• Barcode:1024 characters
• 2DCode: 652 characters
• OCR: 128 characters (32 characters × 4 lines)
• The Read string is output as NULL(/0).
The processing items that support character output are listed below.
Refer to the descriptions for each processing item for details on the character output format.
• Character Inspection (Refer to
Reference Manual (Cat. No. Z341).)
• Barcode (Refer to
Z341).)
• 2DCode (Refer to
Z341).)
• OCR (Refer to
Note
Command-driven character string output is not supported when using EtherNet/IP tag data link communication or
EtherCAT.
To output character strings, send the commands using EtherNet/IP message communication.
Refer to the Communicating with the Sensor Controller with EtherNet/IP Message Communications (p.264)
