You can obtain inspection result information for each of the inspection tools
over the Remote I/O link. There are two levels of access to this information:
•
Discrete Bits. These bits indicate pass/fail/warning data.
•
Result Data Words. These words contain actual inspection result data such
as measured lengths, number of black pixels, etc.
Note: Refer to Appendix B for a description of the discrete bit results and
Appendix C for a description of numerical results data blocks.
If you are using the Remote I/O link to communicate with a PLC–2, –3, or
–5 (or PLC–5/250 in another rack), you must configure the CVIM module as
