Why Engineers Specify This Model
- Native FINS Protocol Support – Seamless peer-to-peer communication with other YOKOGAWA FA-M3 nodes without gateway hardware, reducing latency and BOM cost.
- Dual-Speed Auto-Negotiation – 10/100 Mbps auto-sensing eliminates manual speed configuration and ensures backward compatibility with legacy switch infrastructure.
- Multi-Protocol Flexibility – A single module handles FINS, Modbus TCP, FTP, and HTTP simultaneously, consolidating communication tasks that previously required multiple cards.
- Deterministic Performance – Dedicated Ethernet ASIC ensures consistent cycle-time performance even under heavy network load, critical for closed-loop control applications.
- Compact FA-M3 Form Factor – Occupies one standard FA-M3 slot; no external power supply or DIN-rail adapter required.
- Long Product Lifecycle – YOKOGAWA’s FA-M3 platform is supported with long-term spare parts availability, reducing obsolescence risk for 10–20 year plant lifecycles.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the F3LE01-5T communicate with non-YOKOGAWA PLCs?
A: Yes. Via Modbus TCP, the F3LE01-5T can exchange data with any Modbus-compliant device including Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Mitsubishi, and Omron PLCs, as well as third-party SCADA/HMI systems.
Q: How many F3LE01-5T modules can be installed in one FA-M3 base unit?
A: Multiple modules can be installed subject to the base unit’s slot count and power budget. Consult YOKOGAWA’s FA-M3 system configuration guide (IM 34M06H11-01E) for slot assignment rules.
Q: Is the F3LE01-5T compatible with EtherNet/IP?
A: No. The F3LE01-5T supports FINS and Modbus TCP natively. EtherNet/IP requires the F3LE11-1T or F3LE12-1T variant. Contact us to confirm the correct module for your network architecture.
Q: What software is used to configure the F3LE01-5T?
A: Configuration is performed using YOKOGAWA’s WideField3 programming software (IM 34M06Q16-01E). IP address can also be set via the onboard rotary switches without software.
Q: Can this module be used in a redundant Ethernet ring topology?
A: The F3LE01-5T supports standard star and bus topologies. For ring redundancy (MRP/RSTP), YOKOGAWA’s F3LE34-1T module is recommended.
