Description
A function by which data are periodically exchanged among stations on the same network using link devices
Communications performed by cyclic transmission and transient transmission
A tool used for setting up programmable controllers, programming, debugging, and maintenance
A station that exchanges I/O signals (bit data) and I/O data (word data) with the master station by cyclic transmission.
This station can perform transient transmission as well.
This station responds to a transient transmission request from another station and also issues a transient transmission
request to another station.
A device (RX, RY, RWr, RWw, SB, or SW) in a module or a board on CC-Link IE Field Network
A station that performs cyclic transmission and transient transmission with the master station and other local stations.
A station that controls the entire network. This station can perform cyclic transmission and transient transmission with all
stations.
Only one master station can be used in a network.
A station that exchanges I/O signals (bit data) and I/O data (word data) with the master station by cyclic transmission.
This station responds to a transient transmission request from another station.
A station reserved for future use. This station is not actually connected, but counted as a connected station.
A station other than a master station: a local station, a remote I/O station, a remote device station, and an intelligent
device station
A function of communication with another station, which is used when requested by a dedicated instruction or an
engineering tool
