Controlling Operation and Outputting Data with an
Ethernet Connection
Communication Settings Procedure
To use PROFINET communication, the settings below must be configured.
Data output period This parameter is displayed and can be set only
when [Output handshake] is set to [No]. Set the
period for outputting measurement results.
Set a value that is longer that the GATE ON
output time and shorter than the measurement
interval of the Sensor.
2 to 5,000 ms (default: 40 ms)
GATE signal ON
period
This parameter is displayed and can be set only
when [Output handshake] is set to [No].
Set the time to turn ON the GATE signal.
Set the time that is required for the external
device to read the measurement results.
Set a value which is equal or longer than the
[refreshing task period] (or the requested
packet interval).
1 to 1,000 ms (default: 20 ms)
Configure network settings of Sensor
Set on the FQ2.

Configure default PROFINET settings
•Fieldbus settings
Configure IO supervisor (computer) settings
• IP address settings
Configure the settings with the engineering tool.
If you are setting the FQ2 as an IO device, install a GSD file
that defines the FQ2 IO data CR connection information in the
engineering tool.
The FQ2 GSD file can be downloaded from our website.
For PROFINET IO system settings, refer to the engineering tool
manuals.
Configure IO controller settings
• IP address settings
• PROFINET IO system settings
• IO device settings and assignments
• Compile and save settings
Transfer settings and check connection
• Check IO controller connection
• Transfer parameters
• Check connection status
• Check data assignments
Actually connect the computer (Engineering Tool), sensor and
external devices, and use the Engineering Tool to transfer the
settings and check communication.
