FQ-series Vision Sensors
4FQ Short Manual
1-1 FQ-series Vision Sensors
FQ-series Vision Sensors are real-color Vision Sensors with integrated processing. Once configured, they are
used stand-alone for quality inspection of presence, position, and other product characteristics. To set up or
monitor the sensors, either the touch screen based console 'Touch Finder' or a 'PC Tool' can be used.
FQ-series Vision Sensors are available in two different models. The differences are given in the following table.
Model Standard model Single-function model
Model number FQ-S2@@@@@ FQ-S1@@@@@
Number of simultaneous
measurements
32 1
Number of registered scenes 32 8
Position compensation Supported Not supported
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.
Includes the camera, lighting, measurement
processor, and I/O functions.
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.

Measurement Process
FQ Short Manual 5
1 Introduction
1-2 Measurement Process
This section describes the basic flow of the measurement process.
• The measurement is started by inputting a trigger signal from an external
device.
• Images are taken according to the trigger.
• The image is measured to see if it matches the configured settings.
• The overall judgement of all inspection items are output using OR logic.
• Measurement data and image data can be logged in memory in the Sensor or
in an SD card.

System Configuration
10 FQ Short Manual
2-1 System Configuration
*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.
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.

• There is a certain amount of deviation among Sensors in the center of the optical axis. For this reason, when install-
ing the Sensor, check the center of the image and the field of view on the LCD monitor of the Touch Finder and in
the PC Tool.
Removal Procedure
Installing the Touch Finder
Installation Precautions
Install the Touch Finder in the following orientation to allow sufficient heat dissipation.
Do not mount it in the following orientations.
• To improve ventilation, leave space on both sides of the Touch Finder. The distance between the Touch Finder and
other devices should be at least that shown in the following diagram.
• Make sure that the ambient temperature is 50°C or lower. If it exceeds 50°C, install an cooling fan or an air condi-
tioner and maintain the temperature at 50°C or lower.
• To prevent interference by noise, do not mount the Sensor on panels which contain high-voltage devices.
• To keep the level of noise from the surrounding environment to a minimum, install the Sensor and Touch Finder at
least 10 m away from power lines.
1Insert a flat-blade screwdriver between the Mounting Brack-
et and the Sensor case on either side and remove the

Mounting to DIN Track
Installation Procedure
• Attach End Plates (sold separately) on the sides of the Touch Finder on the DIN Track.
• If other devices will be installed next to the Touch Finder on the same DIN Track, make sure that sufficient space is
kept between the devices as indicated on previous page.
• Always hook the clip at the top of the Touch Finder on the DIN Track first. If the lower clip is hooked on first, the
Touch Finder will not be mounted very securely.
Removal Procedure
Mounting to a Control Panel
The Touch Finder can be mounted on a panel using the FQ-XPM Panel Mounting Adapter.
• Always turn OFF the Touch Finder power before attaching or detaching the Panel Mount Adapter. Attaching or
detaching with the power turned ON may cause a failure.
1Press the slider on the Touch Finder to the top.
2Hook the clip at the top of the Touch Finder on to the DIN
Track.
3Press the Touch Finder onto the DIN Track until the bottom
clip clicks into place.

Preventing Chattering
• The Sensor is equipped with an anti-chattering function, but if the chattering is 100 µs or longer, a faulty input may
occur. (Input signals of 99 µs or shorter are ignored. Signals of 100 µs or longer are treated as input signals.)
• Use no-contact output devices (e.g., SSR or PLC transistor output) for the input signals. If contacts (e.g., relay) are
used, chattering may cause the trigger to be input again during execution of a measurement.
Power Supply Specifications When a Switching Regulator Is Connected
Use a power supply that meets the following specifications. (The power supply is sold separately.)
Supply power from a DC power supply for which measures have been applied to prevent high voltages (e.g., a safety
extra low voltage circuit).
If UL certification is required for the overall system, use a UL Class II DC power supply.
Attaching the LED Warning Label
Attach the enclosed LED warning label to the cable or other location. The LED warning label must be attached
to a location that is readily visible from the Sensor.
