3.3 Operation
Check status of LEDs of FEnet I/F module when power turned on after communication cable is
connected. If normal, download the applicable program to PLC via XG5000 so to execute the program.
3.3.1 Precautions for system configuration
1) IP addresses shall be surely different from each devices in 1 network system including FEnet
I/F module. If there are more than 1 devices of same IP address in 1 network system,
communication error may occur, leading to communication trouble. HS link station No. of all
stations also shall be different from each FEnet I/F module to use HS link service.
2) Use the communication cable as specified only. If not, fatal error may occur to communication.
3) Check communication cable if opened or shorted prior to installation.
4) Tighten up communication cable connector until connected firmly. If cable connection is
unstable, fatal error may occur to communication.
5) If cable is connected long distance, keep the cable far away from power line or inductive noise.
6) Since the flexibility of coaxial cable is low, it is to be diverged min. 30cm away from the
connector in communication module. If the cable is bent at a right angle or transformed
compulsorily, cable disconnection or connector damage in communication module may be
caused.
7) If the status of LEDs is abnormal, refer to Chapter 10 Troubleshooting to check for causes and
available actions against the status of LEDs. Contact customer service center if the error is as
before
