Yokogawa F3LE11-1T FA-M3 Ethernet Communication Interface Module

Product Overview

The Yokogawa F3LE11-1T serves as the primary gateway for connecting FA-M3 series PLCs to high-speed Ethernet networks. This module facilitates seamless data exchange between the controller and supervisory systems, supporting both 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX standards. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New and Original, ensuring your automation architecture utilizes the latest factory-standard hardware for remote monitoring and industrial data logging.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• Enhanced Diagnostic Connectivity: The F3LE11-1T integrates SMTP and POP3 protocols, allowing the PLC to send automated email alerts regarding system status or alarm triggers. This functionality eliminates the need for constant manual oversight and speeds up response times for maintenance teams.

• Dual-Speed Auto-Negotiation: The module supports 10/100 Mbps speeds, allowing it to interface with both legacy industrial hubs and modern high-speed switches. This versatility ensures stable performance regardless of the existing network infrastructure.

• High-Density Rack Efficiency: With a width of only 28.9 mm and a weight of 100g, this module maintains a low physical footprint. It slides easily into standard FA-M3 PLC racks, preserving valuable slot space for additional I/O or motion control modules.

• Stable Baseband Transmission: The hardware utilizes baseband transmission and CSMA/CD access control to minimize data collisions. This ensures deterministic communication paths required for real-time remote monitoring and synchronized data logging systems.

FAQs

• Does this module support fiber optic connections? No, the F3LE11-1T utilizes standard RJ-45 connectors for twisted-pair copper cabling. To transition to fiber, you must use an external media converter or an alternative Yokogawa fiber-specific interface module.

• How do I configure the email notification feature? You configure the SMTP server settings and recipient addresses within the FA-M3 programming environment. The module then triggers emails based on specific ladder logic conditions or register values defined by the user.

• Is the F3LE11-1T compatible with all FA-M3 CPU types? The F3LE11-1T works with most standard FA-M3 CPU modules. However, always verify that your specific CPU firmware version supports Ethernet communication functions to ensure full protocol transparency.

• What is the maximum number of segments allowed in a cascade setup? The module supports up to 2 segments or up to 4 segments depending on your specific network topology and the type of switching equipment used. For maximum stability over 100 meters, we recommend using active industrial switches.
