The IP address of the FA 45 Vision Sensor is set by the manufacturer to 192.168.100.100 with sub-net mask 255.255.255.0. The operation of the FA 45 Vision Sensor is independent of a computer or PLC. A PC or noteboOK is required only for configuring the FA 45 Vision Sensor.
When the 6 mm lens is in use, external illumination is generally necessary. When the C-Mount version of FA 45 is in use, a C-Mount lens with a 6.6 mm intermediate ring or a C-Mount protective case is required (see accessories chapter 8.12).
Screw the FA 45 Vision Sensor onto the mounting clamp „dovetail FA 45“ (supplied with the unit) and then onto a suitable object. Use only the mounting clamp „dovetail FA 45“ (no. 543-11000) supplied with the unit (see chapter 8.13 dimensional drawing).
FA 45 Vision Sensor set by the manufacturer at 192.168.100.100/24 with Subnetmask 255.255.255.0 is free and is not in use for any other unit connected to the system. If necessary, re-set the IP address of the FA 45 Vision Sensor as described in the section „Net- work settings“ (see chapter 3.3).
FA 45 Vision Sensor with an external trigger (input IN1). If no +U is connected to IN2, the FA 45 Vision Sensor will not execute evaluation. In this case it is in standby mode (= Disable). (See chapter 8.1).
Basic settings for PC and FA 45 Vision Sensor To configure the FA 45 Vision Sensor with a PC it is essential that a network board and the TCP/IP LAN- connection is installed on the PC. (This also applies when the PC is not connected to a network. See also chapter 3.2, Electrical Connection).

Mounting and operating instructions Proceeding/Troubleshooting - Direct Connection Creating a functioning ethernet connection between FA 45 Vision Sensor and PC Important: To configure the PC via Direct Connection it is neccessary to change it´s IP- configuration. Please contact your system administrator to inform about changes !
Before setting, ensure that the computer is connected as described in „Electrical Installation“ and „Basic Computer Settings“ (see chapter 3.2 and chapter 3.4). To set the IP address on the FA 45 Vision Sensor , proceed as follows in the PC software: 1. Select the sensor.

Important: To configure the FA 45 Vision Sensor for the network it is neccessary to integrate it to the network. Please check before plug in, if the IP address of the sensors is already used (default: 192.168.100.100/24). As in case of collision the network can brake down.
(see chapter 8.1 IN 2). 2. For the first start-up of the FA 45 Vision Sensor install the supplied software (version x.x) on the PC. When the CD is inserted, the Internet Browser should start automatically. When the Autorun function is deactivated, it is also possible to start the main page by double click on start.exe.

If the software was able to make contact with the FA 45 Vision Sensor, all the buttons are activated after a few seconds and the image currently „seen“ by the sensor is displayed. If the buttons are not activated, the software has not been able to make contact with the FA 45 Vision Sensor .

The FA 45 Vision Sensor is now ready for use. Before using the FA 45 Vision Sensor , it should be prepared for the detection task with the assistance of the PC soft- ware. For this purpose, the object characteristics by which the object is identified or distinguished, must be defined in configuration features 1 - 32 in the software program.
