Chapter 1: Outline
An FL-net module (JW-20FL5/20FLT, JW-50FL, FL-net board (Z-336J)) is an interface module use to connect a
programmable controller (JW20H/30H, JW50H/70H/100H), J-board to an FL-net. FL-net is an open network
that connects production equipment and controllers from multiple FA (factory automation) venders, to create a
unified production process. This network works as an intermediary between information networks and produc-
tion networks, and makes it possible to connect control devices (such as personal computers or programmable
controllers, hereafter referred to as PCs), to numeric control devices (CNCs), and robot controllers (RCs). The
Ethernet is used as a world standard communication method to allow communication between pieces of OA
(Office Automation) equipment.
FL-net employs an FA link protocol as an application layer.
Features of the FA link protocol
1Uses the Ethernet UDP/IP communication protocol.
2Using a Master-less, Token method, the system prevents data transmission conflicts and guarantees
the transfer of data within a specified time.
3Employs a shared memory system (shares information between each of the nodes).
4Nodes can automatically enter and leave the network.
Features of the JW-20FL5/20FLT, JW-50FL, Z-336J
1FL-net compatible (uses the FA link protocol)
2Supports cyclic transfers and message transfers.
3Supports exchange of data between SHARP PCs using the SEND/RECEIVE function. (A unique
function of SHARP equipment)
4Allows remote programming and remote monitor functions between SHARP PCs. (Aunique function of
SHARP equipment)
- FL-net is an open network that was standardized by the Japan FA Open Systems Promotion Group (JOP) in
the Manufacturing Science Technology Center (MSTC).
- Ethernet is a registered trademark of XEROX CORPORATION, USA.

Chapter 2: Handling Precautions
Make sure to follow the precautions bellow who using the JW-20FL5/20FLT, JW-50FL (hereafter referred to
as this module) and Z-336J (hereafter referred to as this board).
(1) Installation
- Do not install or store this unit in the following conditions.
1Locations close to a heating element
2Sudden temperature changes which may cause condensation
3Corrosive or inflammable gas
4Vibration or hard jolts
- The minimum distance between nodes is specified in the regulations. (2.5 m when the 10BASE5
is used.) When connecting devices, be sure to maintain these minimum distances.
Cables used for 10BASE5 systems have marks every 2.5 m. Position each transceiver directly
on one of these marks.
- Mount the transceivers on electrically insulated objects, such as a wooden mounting block.
- Prior to installing or detaching the JW20H/30H or JW50H/70H/100H, make sure to turn OFF the
power supply to the PCs.
- Prior to connect the board, make sure to turn OFF the power to the J-board.
- Isolate the hub case electrically from the control panel chassis.
(2) Treatment
JW-20FL5/20FLT and JW-50FL
- For ventilation, holes are provided in the cabinet to prevent a temperature rise. Do not block
the ventilation holes. Good ventilation is necessary.
- Never allow a liquid such as water and chemical solution and a metallic object like a copper wire
inside this module to avoid a possible hazard. Otherwise, it may be a cause of machine
trouble.
- When a trouble or abnormal condition such as overheat, fume, or smoke is met, stop the
operation immediately, and call your dealer or our service department.
Z-336J
A J-board is a PC board which contains sensitive electronic parts. Therefore, be careful when han-
dling it.
1Before touching the board with your hand, make sure to discharge all static electricity from
your body.
2Do not touch the board if your hands are dirty or wet.
3Do not put the board down on a conductive object (such as a metal plate).
(If a J-board with a CPU is placed on a conductive object, the battery terminals may be short
circuited and the back up memory will be lost.)
4Do not handle any switches, connectors, or terminal blocks on the J-board using excessive
force.
(3) Grounding
- Connect the J-board FG terminal (on the terminal block on the CPU board) to an independent
class 3 ground. Do not share the ground with high voltage equipment.
- The hexagonal standoffs (supplied with each board) for assembling the J-board are used for
connecting the ground (FG). Make sure to tighten them securely.
(4) Wiring precautions
- Install the communication lines at a distance of 60 cm or more away from motor power lines or
high voltage lines.
- Do not route wires near equipment that generates electrical noise.
- Use category 5 10BASE-T shielded twisted pair cable.
- Use an isolated shield transformer to provide power to the hubs.
- We recommend using a transceiver cable that is 2 m or shorter.

Chapter 3: System Configuration
[Connection example]
- A basic system (segment) configuration consists of a 10BASE5 coaxial cable between 10m and 500 m long
with nodes connected to this cable. (A maximum of 100 nodes can be connected per segment)
- If the distance between nodes exceeds 500 m, use a repeater (maximum length 2,500 m).
See 7-1[1] 10BASE5 system.
Note: 10BASE5 coaxial cable, transceivers, transceiver cables, terminators, hubs, and 10BASE-T twisted
pair cable is supplied and installed by the customer.

5-1 Installation of JW-20FL5/20FLT
This section describes the installation procedures for the JW-20FL5/20FLT (hereafter referred to as the
module) on the JW20H/30H basic rack panel.
Turn off the power to the JW20H/30H.
Set the module No. switch on the back of the module.
Insert the mounting rib on the module into the rib insert holes on the JW20H/30H basic rack panel
and push in. Then, tighten module-mounting screws at the top of the module using a Phillips-head
(+) screwdriver.
Notes
- The module cannot be installed into an expansion rack panel.
- More than two communication modules can be installed on the same control module (basic rack panel
for the JW20H/30H). However, be careful not to use the same module No. switch setting for any other
module (including JW-20FL5/20FLT).
- Make sure to tighten the module mounting screws securely. Loose screws may cause a malfunction.
