Introduction
1-1 FQ2-S4-series Vision Sensors
The FQ2-S4 Series features Vision Sensors with integrated cameras and controllers. They can be used to
easily achieve simple inspections and measurements and to easily read and verify IDs.
You can use parallel controls, no-protocol communications on Ethernet, PLC Link communications 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 communications 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.

Used to check images and set the
judgement parameters. It can also be
used to save measurement results and
check status during operation.
PC Tool

Sensor with
Built-in Lighting
After the Sensor has been set up, it can be
operated alone to perform measurements
without the Touch Finder or PC Tool.
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.
FQ2-S4-series Vision Sensors are available in models with 350,000, 760,000, and 1,300,000 pixels. 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.

and connect the Parallel Interface Sensor Data Unit to an external device. This allows
you to output the results of judgement conditions, measurements from inspection
items, and the results of expressions with parallel communications.
and connect the RS-232C Interface Sensor Data Unit to an external device. This
allows you to use no-protocol communications to send and receive commands,
inspection item parameters, and other data between the Sensor and the external
control device that is connected with the RS-232C cable. You can also use the ACK
signal (parallel command normal completion signal) for a parallel output from the
Sensor Data Unit.

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. To prevent 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.
Important
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.
