This section explains how to set the E5CN/AN/EN/GN’s communica-
tions specifications. For details on the host, refer to the User’s Manual
provided with the host.
● RS-232C (E5AN, E5EN, and E5GN Only)
• A 1:1 connection is used.
• The maximum cable length is 15 m. To extend the transmission path,
use the OMRON Z3R RS-232C Optical Interface.
• Use a shielded, AWG24 to AWG14 (cross-sectional area of 0.205 to
2.081 mm
2
) twisted-pair cable for the E5CN, E5EN, or E5AN. Use a
shielded, AWG24 to AWG18 (cross-sectional area of 0.205 to
0.823 mm
2
) twisted-pair cable for the E5GN. The stripping length is 5 to
6 mm for the E5CN, E5AN, or E5EN, and 6 to 8 mm for the E5GN.
● E5AN/EN
