High-speed Wide-bandwidth Communication

1Gbps communication speed

Bandwidth is divided between cyclic (synchronous) communications (I/O control, safety, motion, energy) and transient (asynchronous) communications (alarms, diagnostic data, etc.) with no impact on performance.

Stable control cycles in 1Gbps communication zones

High-speed communications for improved production efficiency

1Gbps communication speed enables high-speed control of field devices and coordination among equipment. Shortens takt time.

High-speed communications for improved production efficiency

Safety Control

Share safety signals throughout the network and among processes

By placing safety sequencers in each process on production lines and linking them on a CC-Link IE field network (using safe communication functionality), should a safe shutdown occur in one process, the linkage will ensure safe shutdowns for neighboring processes as well.

Safety Control

Motion Control

Synchronization with servo amplifiers and other devices

Motion control allows fixed-cycle synchronous communication with devices, such as synchronization with a servo amplifier.

Motion Control

Simple Communications Programming

Simple network system construction, with no need to set up connections

Data transmission is achieved with only parameter settings and programming that performs reading and writing to memory.

Simple Communications Programming

Easy System Construction and Maintenance

Leveraging globally-standardized technologies

Reduce costs using standard Industrial Ethernet equipment such as cables, connectors, and other physical layer equipment

Network diagnostics

We add error codes to the frame and transmitted data portions in transmission frame formats. It's now easier to detect problem areas in the event of frame data errors caused by cable malfunctions.

Network diagnostics

Application of network diagnostic functions

Downtime can be reduced when problems occur by quickly identifying problem areas on the network using standard tools.

Application of network diagnostic functions

The freedom to set up networks according to use case

Star, line, mixed star and line, and ring networks can be built simply by connecting cables to open ports.
