Compatibility & Applications

Compatible with FA-M3 CPU modules F3SP66, F3SP67, F3SP71, F3SP76 (with network functions) and all standard FA-M3 CPUs via hub connection. Ideal for SCADA integration, remote monitoring, MES/ERP connectivity, and distributed control systems requiring seamless Ethernet communication.

FAQ

• Q: What is the maximum number of concurrent connections? A: The module supports communication with up to 30 subsystem stations per ALE111 communication link.
• Q: Can I use a crossover cable for direct PC connection? A: Yes, for 10BASE-T connections, a crossover cable can be used for peer-to-peer connection without a hub.
• Q: Is Modbus/TCP supported? A: Yes, the module supports Modbus/TCP slave functionality for integration with third-party systems.
• Q: Does it require an external power supply? A: No, power is supplied directly via the FA-M3 backplane.

Installation Guide

1. Power off the FA-M3 system.
2. Insert F3LE12-0T into any available I/O slot.
3. Connect a standard Cat 5/6 Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port.
4. Configure IP address, subnet mask, and gateway via WideField3 or ladder logic.
5. Restore power and verify link/activity LEDs on the module.
6. Test connectivity by pinging the module from a networked PC.

Selection Tips

• Choose F3LE12-0T for 100 Mbps Ethernet connectivity in FA-M3 systems.
• For older systems requiring 10 Mbps only, F3LE01-5T or F3LE11-0T may be sufficient.
• Ensure your network infrastructure supports industrial Ethernet with proper shielding and grounding.
• Use F3LE12-0T with F3SP71-4S or F3SP76 CPUs for optimal network performance and large data throughput.
