1-1 Checking the System Configuration
The FH/FHV/FZ5 is a Vision Sensor that uses a controller to process measurements of objects that are
imaged with a Camera.
You connect an LCD for operations and monitoring, and various Cameras to the FH/FHV/FZ5-series
Sensor Controller.
You connect external devices, such as a PLC or a computer, through a parallel, Ethernet, or RS-232C
cable.
You can connect up to eight Cameras, depending on the model of the Controller.
To measure more than one line with a single Sensor Controller, you assign the Camera for the mea-
surements to each line beforehand, and switch between Cameras during the measurement flow.
For details of the system configuration each series or basic configuration, refer to the Vision System
