Introduction
1-1 FQ2-series Vision Sensors
The same functions as those that are
provided by the Touch Finder can be
performed from a computer. The PC Tool
is available free of charge.
After the Sensor has been set up, it can be
operated alone to perform measurements
without the Touch Finder or PC Tool.
PC Tool
Used to check images and set the
judgement parameters. It can also be
used to save measurement results and
check status during operation.

Built-in Lighting
The FQ2 Series features Vision Sensors with integrated cameras and controllers. They can be used to easily
achieve simple inspections and measurements.
You can use parallel controls, no-protocol commun ications on Ethernet, PLC Link comm unications on Ethernet,
and EtherNet/IP communications on Ethernet as standard features. You can also use a Data Unit to enable
control with full-scale parallel communicati ons or RS-232C communications.
To set up and monitor the Vision Sensor, you can use either the Touch Finder or the PC Tool running on a
computer. For actual operation, you can use the Vision Sensor on a stand-alone basis.
FQ2-series Vision Sensors are available in two different models. There are also Sensors with C-mounts that
allow you to change the lens, and Sensors with Built-in Lighting. The differences are given in the following
table.

Installation and Connections
*1: The shape and dimensions of the Ethernet connector plug and jack are specified in ISO/IEC8877:1992 (JIS X 5110:1996) and RJ-45 of the
FCC regulations. T o pre v ent connector connection failures , the structure of the jack of this product does not allow insertion of plugs that do not
comply with the standard. If a commercially available plug cannot be inserted, it is likely that the plug is non-compliant.
Do not connect network devices other than PLCs on the same network as the Touch Finder or computer. If
another device is connected, the responsiveness of displays and settings of the Touch Finder or computer may
become slow.
