CC-Link IE Control Network Module

CC-Link IE Control is a high-reliability distributed control network designed to handle very large data communications (128K word) over a high-speed (1 Gbps) dual-loop optical cable topology.

Continuous communications even when cable or stations are faulty

Utilizing a high-speed, noise resistant fiber-optic topology, the CC-Link IE Control Network supports a loop-back function that guarantees continuous communications even when a cable is disconnected or a station falls into a fault status. The dual-loop topology of the cable ensures that the data will find another route along the network without affecting overall network communications.


Extensive real-time network monitoring

The network status can be easily monitored directly from GX Works3 software enabling intuitive troubleshooting of network errors or viewing the operation of the network while in communications. This makes it possible to see the actual fault occurring in the network, thereby helping to reduce the overall downtime. In addition, error messages related to the faulty network module station can be viewed for further network diagnosis. All stations within the network can be monitored regardless of which station the software is connected too.
