Overview of FQ2-S/CH Series
The FQ2-S/CH Series features Sensors with integrated cameras and controllers. They can be used to easily
achieve simple inspections
*1
and measurements
*1
and to easily read and verify IDs
*2
.
You can use parallel controls, no-protocol communications on Ethernet, PLC Link communications on
Ethernet, and EtherNet/IP communications on Ethernet as standard features. You can also use a Sensor Data
Unit to enable control with full-scale parallel communications or RS-232C communications.
To set up and monitor the Sensor, you can use either the Touch Finder or the dedicated setting tool,
TouchFinder for PC (hereinafter also referred to as PC Tool). For actual operation, you can use the Sensor on
a stand-alone basis.
*1: FQ2-S1/S2/S3/S4 series only
*2: FQ2-S4/CH series only
Sensor Simulation function in TouchFinder for PC version.2.00 or later.
The same functions as those that are
provided by the Touch Finder can be
performed from a computer. The PC Tool
is available free of charge.
After the Sensor has been
set up, it can be operated
alone to perform measurements
without the Touch Finder
or PC Tool.
