FQ2 Communications for PROFINET Connections
You can use PROFINET IO data CR to communicate between the PLC and the Vision Sensor to perform
control via command/response communications or to output data after measurements.
The FQ2 complies with PROFINET conformance class A.
To connect to external devices and communicate using PROFINET, configure the PROFINET IO data CR
settings with the Engineering Tool.
For details on the IO data CR settings in the Engineering Tool, refer to the manual for each Engineering Tool.
Types of Communications Areas
For PROFINET communications, the following three communications areas are used in the PLC to perform communications.
Areas Used for the Different Control Methods
*1: The Input Area (response area) (2) and Input Area (output area) (3) are assigned to continuous memory addresses or to a variable.
Command/response
communications
(1) Output Area (command
area)
This is the area to which you write control commands for
the Vision Sensor to execute.
(2) Input Area (response
area)
This is the area to which the Vision Sensor writes the results
of control commands executed from the command area.
Data output after mea-
surements
(3) Input Area (output area)
This is the area to which the Vision Sensor writes output
data for measurements after an inspection is performed.
(1) Output Area (command area)
