Restrictions When Using Different Communication Protocols Simultaneously - Omron FH series User Manual

Restrictions when Using Different Communication Protocols Simultaneously

Different communication protocols can be used together on the FH/FZ5. Restrictions when using different
protocols together are as follows:
• The Parallel Communications Module can be used with any other Communications Modules.
• For all Communication Modules other than the Parallel Communications Module, the following restrictions on
combinations apply.
Ethernet and RS-232C/422 cannot be used at the same time as PLC Link for Vision Systems.
EtherNet/IP or EtherCAT cannot be used at the same time as PLC Link for Vision Systems.
All combinations of Communications Modules other than those listed above are compatible.
IMPORTANT
If control signals or commands are input simultaneously to the Sensor Controller from different Communications Modules,
they may not be received correctly. Check the status signals for each Communications Module and input control signals and
commands at different times for each.
