6-4 Ethernet Interface
Ethernet port of Sensor Controller is used for EtherNet/IP or Serial (Ethernet) communication. The
Ethernet port can be changed depending on Sensor Controller series. Be sure to check the series you
are attempting to use.
Precautions for Safe Use
• Use only the cables designed specifically for the product. Use of other products may result in
malfunction or damage of the product.
• Always turn OFF the power of the FH-L series Sensor Controller and peripheral devices be-
fore connecting or disconnecting a camera or cable. Connecting the cable with power sup-
plied may result in damage of the camera or peripheral devices.
• Since cables to which bending is frequently applied is easily broken, use the robotic cable
type (bending resistant cable) to prevent damages.
• Do not apply torsion stress to cables. If not, it may cause damage to cables.
• Secure the minimum bending radius of cables. If not, it may cause damage to cables.
Precautions for Correct Use
• Check the following items on the communications cables that are used in the network.
- Are there any breaks?
- Are there any shorts?
- Are there any connector problems?
• When you connect the cable to the communications connectors on devices, firmly insert the
communications cable connector until it locks in place.
• Do not lay the communications cables together with high-voltage lines.
• Do not lay the communications cable near devices that generate noise.
• Do not lay the communications cables in locations subject to high temperatures or high hu-
midity.
• Do not lay the communications cables in locations subject to excessive dirt and dust or to oil
mist or other contaminants.

FH-2000/FH-5000 series are equipped with two Ethernet ports
FH-2000/FH-5000 series
•
Upper port: Ethernet port
•
Lower port: Ethernet port and EtherNet/IP port are
sharing use.
Cable
• Connect a straight or cross LAN cable.
• The transmission rate you use determines available cables and connectors.
• For 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T, use an STP (shielded twist pair) cable with category 5 or higher.
