CC-Link IE Broadcast

Easier network integrationMitsubishi Electric is launching CC-Link IE Field Network Basic

compatible products to further leverage networking on the

production floor. With recent trends of IoT*1, network connection

of devices and equipment for small-scale systems are becoming

more mainstream. CC-Link IE Field Network Basic realizes

easier network integration, as its cyclic communications stack

is software-based, without requiring a dedicated ASIC helping

to reduce implementation costs for device partners.

Plant-wide seamless communicationUtilizing standard Ethernet technology, TCP/IP protocol stack

for communications (such as HTTP, FTP) is supported. Based

on SLMP*2, data flows transparently between the sensor level

and the enterprise level across multiple industry-standard

automation networks. Seamless communication can be easily

realized with CC-Link IE Field Network Basic, further improving

performance of the manufacturing enterprise.

Highlights

• Small-scale network system configuration

• Simple setup and easy troubleshooting

• Combining with TCP/IP communications

• Wider range of connectable products

Positioning within CC-Link IE NetworkThe Ethernet-based open network CC-Link IE is a high-speed

and large-capacity network integrating distributed control,

I/O control, safety control, and motion control. CC-Link IE Field

Network Basic, which is a part of CC-Link IE, realizes easier

connection of Ethernet devices. Transparent communications

are achieved by utilizing SLMP that enables seamless

connectivity within all levels of manufacturing.

❶ Small-scale network system

configurationMELSEC programmable controller CPUs

with an embedded Ethernet port can be

used as a master station, eliminating the

need for an additional network module. The

network can be configured with a minimum

number of modules reducing space and

hardware cost.

Supporting Ethernet protocol stack realizing highly-flexible

systemThe protocol for CC-Link IE Field Network Basic is software-based (not requiring ASIC), realizing a wider range of

compatible products. The network operates on the standard Ethernet protocol stack, which can be used together with TCP/IP

communications. This feature allows CC-Link IE Field Network Basic compatible products and Ethernet compatible products to

be connected on the same Ethernet communications line, enabling a highly-flexible and low cost system.

❷ Simple setup and easy troubleshootingCyclic communications can be easily done just by registering

parameters without requiring dedicated programs. Settings

such as IP address can be easily done by automatically

detecting slave devices using either the GX Works3 or GX

Works 2 engineering tool. Maintenance is easier by being

able to monitor the operating and communication statuses

of nodes connected on the network.

❹ Wider range of connectable productsAs CC-Link IE Field Network Basic protocol is software-based, supported-products can be easily developed at a lower cost, a

wider range of CC-Link IE Field Network Basic-supported devices can be readily available.

❸ Combining with TCP/IP communicationsBy enabling cyclic communication control on standard

Ethernet, parameter setting and status monitoring can be

done with peripheral devices (such as an enterprise level

or tablet computer) connected via TCP/IP communications.

Systems requiring several manufacturing line devices can

be realized by connecting Ethernet compatible devices such

as a label printer, bar-code reader, and weighing scale.
