System Configuration
The FH/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/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 measurements to
each line beforehand, and switch between Cameras during the measurement flow.
