NC module can be connected to the PLC network to serve as the master (Ver.2 mode)/local (Ver.1 mode and Ver.2 mode)
station of the MELSEC CC-Link.
CC-Link is the abbreviation of Control & Communication Link. For CC-Link, refer to the following documents.
"MELSEC-Q CC-Link System Master/Local Module User's Manual" (SH-080394E)
In order to use CC-Link, it is necessary to install the CC-Link master/local module in the NC control module. If it is not
installed, it cannot be connected to the PLC network, and the screen for the CC-Link related parameters will not be displayed.
Even if the CC-Link master/local module is installed but the cable is not connected, the alarm "Z68 CC-Link unconnected"
occurs. For names of each section of the communication module and how to set the module, refer to "CC-Link (Master/Local)
Specification manual" (BNP-C3072-089).
If the NC is a local station, it is dealt as an intelligent device station.
Outline of CC-Link
Distributing and installing each module to the equipments such as conveyor line and mechanical device and so on can sim-
plify the wiring of the whole system.
The ON/OFF data and numerical data such as input/output treated by each module can be communicated easily and at
high speed.
The simple distributed system can be established by connecting several PLC CPUs or NCs.
Connecting the device equipments made by the partner maker can flexibly support various systems.
