What cable should be used to
build an FL-net system?
Generally, cables should be used as follows.
• 10BASE5 (thick coaxial cable: yellow cable) is used for the backbone.
• 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX (twisted pair cable: UTP category 5) is used for cabling in
control panels and offices.
• 10BASE-FL/100-BASE-FX (optical fiber cable) is used for cabling near high-volt-

How should we set FL-net IP
addresses?
The FL-net IP addresses are:
Network address: 192.168.250,
Host number (node number): 1 to 254
These settings are standard. Note that numbers 250 to 254 have been reserved for use by
maintenance tools.

How conformance and inter-
connectivity have been
assured among FL-net support
devices?
There is an FL-net certification organization that conducts conformance and intercon-
nectivity tests. Because certificates are issued to devices that have passed the tests, they
can be used safely.
