[OMRON] — E3NX-FA Communications Smart Fiber Amplifier (for E3NW Sensor Communications Unit — EtherCAT/CompoNet/CC-Link)
Family ID: OMRON-E3NX-FA-COMM
Communications-type smart fiber amplifier designed for connection to OMRON E3NW Sensor Communications Unit, enabling network-based sensor data management over EtherCAT, CompoNet, or CC-Link. Includes both connector-only types (FA0/FAH0) and pre-wired output types (FA10/FA40 with 1× digital open-collector). All models share GIGA RAY2S light source, Smart Tuning, Solution Viewer, and APC + DPC auto-compensation of the standard E3NX-FA. Power supplied through E3NW unit — no separate wiring required for amplifier itself. 32μs high-speed response available for network-connected sensors. Ideal for centralized factory data management, real-time diagnostics, and Industry 4.0 smart factory integration. ⚠️ Requires E3NW Sensor Communications Unit (sold separately): E3NW-ECT (EtherCAT), E3NW-CRT (CompoNet), E3NW-CCL (CC-Link), or E3NW-DS (Distributed Unit) — contact for quote. ⚠️ E3NX-FAH0 (infrared) cannot connect to E3NW-CRT. Compatible with OMRON E32 series fiber optic heads.
