System Configuration
The FH/FHV is a Vision Sensor that uses a controller to process measurements of objects that are
imaged with a Camera.
You connect an LCD for operations and monitoring, and various Cameras to the FH/FHV series Sen-
sor Controller. You connect external devices, such as a PLC or a computer, through a parallel, Ether-
net, or RS-232C cable.
You can connect up to eight Cameras, depending on the model of the Controller. To measure more
than one line with a single Sensor Controller, you assign the Camera for the measurements to each
line beforehand, and switch between Cameras during the measurement flow.
