Overview
Communication Specifications
The module supports standard Ethernet communication with two network configurations: 10BASE-T and 10BASE5. Both use baseband transmission at 10 Mbps. Furthermore, the module supports binary and ASCII data formats for monitoring, while write protection can be enabled or disabled for monitoring operations.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Model | F3LE01-5T |
| Brand | Yokogawa |
| Product Type | Ethernet Communication Module |
| Compatible Standards | 10BASE-T, 10BASE5 |
| Access Control | CSMA/CD |
| Transmission Rate | 10 Mbps |
| Transmission Method | Baseband |
| Protocols | TCP/IP, UDP/IP, ICMP, ARP |
| Data Format | Binary or ASCII (monitoring only) |
| Write Protection | Enabled or disabled (monitoring only) |
Ethernet Network Configuration
The two Ethernet standards have different cable and connection limits. Therefore, check the network layout before selecting the connection method.
| Parameter | 10BASE-T | 10BASE5 |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum Segment Length | 100 m | 500 m |
| Maximum Distance with Repeaters | 100 m | 2.5 km |
| Maximum Nodes per Segment | 2 | 100 |
For example, a 10BASE5 network can connect up to 100 nodes on one segment. Meanwhile, 10BASE-T supports a maximum segment length of 100 m and two nodes per segment, according to the supplied specifications.
PLC Module Mounting Capacity
The maximum number of communication modules depends on the host PLC model. This limit covers the total number of modules with similar functions, including personal computer link modules and FL-net interface modules.
- Maximum 2 modules: F3SP08, F3SP21.
- Maximum 6 modules: F3SP25, F3SP28, F3SP35, F3SP38, F3SP53, F3SP58, F3SP59, F3SP66, F3SP67, F3SP71, F3SP76, F3BP20, F3BP30.
Furthermore, these limits apply to the combined number of similar communication modules, not just the number of F3LE01-5T units. Therefore, check the existing PLC configuration before adding another module.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which Ethernet standards does the Yokogawa F3LE01-5T support?
A: It supports 10BASE-T and 10BASE5 Ethernet standards. However, each standard has different segment length and node connection limits, so select the network configuration according to the installation requirements.
Q: How many communication modules can the PLC support?
A: The maximum is 2 modules for F3SP08 and F3SP21, or 6 modules for the specified F3SP and F3BP models. In addition, the limit includes other modules with similar communication functions.
Q: Does the F3LE01-5T require an external power supply?
A: The supplied specifications indicate that 10BASE-T and 10BASE5 configurations do not require an external power supply. However, they also list a 12 VDC, 500 mA external supply for another configuration.
