Ethernet-based Open Network CC-Link IE

Ethernet-based Open Network

Advanced Gigabit Ethernet technology designed for achieving high speed and large data capacity

CC-Link IE Controller Network modules CC-Link IE Controller Network interface boards

On the shop floor, the amount of data that each controller exchanges with other devices or Enterprise information systems is increasing more than ever. Mitsubishi Electric supports the Gigabit industrial Ethernet open network to realize these growing demands in manufacturing. CC-Link IE based on Gigabit fiber optic Ethernet medium allows connection of various devices including 3rd party for achieving the high speed and large data capacity requirements.

Gigabit Ethernet

Standard type With external power supply function

Reducing costs while improving cycle times Ethernet topology

● Ethernet topology (IEEE802.3)

Utilizing Ethernet standard cables and connectors can achieve substantial reduction in costs.

● Multi-mode optical fiber (1000BASE-SX) ● LC connector (IEC61754-20)

Standard type

With external power supply function

*

* A communication unit for GOT is mounted.

Evolution

More troubleshooting functions for reducing communication time Visualization of network connection status

High speed data update

Visually displays a whole system's network connection status such as the error point when a trouble occurs. Maintenance cost can be reduced.

Performance of cyclic data update of network type shared memory is enhanced. Transfer delay time is shortened and application waiting time also can be reduced.

Large capacity memory Network type shared memory (cyclic data) with 256K bytes is realized on one network. Dividing network is not necessary so that a system that handles a large capacity data is easily realized. *1 Values are compared at a network configuration by 32 modules, with each station's LW2K points equally allocated, and without disconnected or reconnected stations.

Large volume

(8 times greater than conventional networks) *1

Ultra-high speed

(14 times faster than conventional networks) *1

Enhances the check function of optical fiber Check function for detecting error points and wrongly inserted ports of optical fiber cable is enhanced.

Efficient

Error point

Next generation deterministic network designed for the industrial world

Error

No complicated programming involved in configurating a network

Easy data refresh of network shared memory

Data consistency guaranteed by station

Using read/write method of memory, data transmission is easy.

No need for additional applications (user program) to assure consistency

Automatic refresh between network shared memory and programmable controller device

Sharing data between controllers is easy because there is no need to be conscious of the network.

Stable operation with external power supply input Supports input of an external power supply to CC-Link IE Controller Network modules and interface boards. Even if the programmable controller CPU or personal computer is shut down, communication continues without having to rely on the 'loop back' function.

*3: It is a function to share cyclic data with stations in the same shared group. By receiving cyclic data from the stations in the shared group, the link refresh points are reduced, and the link refresh time is shortened. (This function can be used when the control station and the station to set the shared group are Universal model QCPU.)

Cable features

1. This optical fiber cable, recommended by the CC-Link Partner Association, can be used safely and worry-free. 2. A full lineup of cable is available, including types for use inside panels, indoors, outdoors, and reinforced type for outdoors, allowing use in various environments. 3. The newly developed thin cable (for indoor and outdoor use) incorporates a cord bundling structure, allowing safe use even in confined factory cable-laying environments. 4. The indoor use and outdoor use cables are free of tension members, and have an allowable tension equivalent to the reinforced type for outdoor use. 5. The outdoor use cable is waterproof, and can be used even in flooded or temporary submerged areas. 6. By attaching the enclosed protective holder (patent pending), breakage at the connector base can be prevented and space in the panel can be saved. 7. A connector boot, with improved bending characteristics, reduces breakage at the connector base.

CC-Link Partner Association

The Japan-original open field network, CC-Link. CLPA (CC-Link Partner Association), in which Mitsubishi Electric also participates, was established with a view to spreading CC-Link to the world. Through vigorous activities such as planning and running trade shows and seminars, conducting conformance tests, and providing information by catalogs, pamphlets, and the Internet, the number of CLPA partner manufacturers and CC-Link compatible products is increasing steadily, and the CLPA is becoming a driving force for the globalization of CC-Link.

Conformance tests support the rapid increase of compatible products.

Exhibitions and seminars are held to recruit new partner members.
