The features of the CC-Link Ver.2 board are as follows:
(1) Personal computers can be incorporated into the CC-Link system.
Installing a CC-Link Ver.2 board into a personal computer allows the PC to be
used as a master station, standby master station, or local station compatible with
CC-Link Ver.2.
By using the CC-Link Ver.2 board as a master station, Ver.2 compatible remote
I/O stations, remote device stations, intelligent device stations and local stations
can be controlled from the PC.
(2) Programs in the CC-Link Ver.1 board can also be used in the CC-
Link Ver.2 board.
Programs developed for the CC-Link Ver.1 board can be used for the CC-Link
Ver.2 board.
(3) Parameters set for the CC-Link Ver.1 board can also be used for
the CC-Link Ver.2 board.
Parameters set for the CC-Link Ver.1 board can be reused for the CC-Link Ver.2
board. (Refer to Appendix 7)
(4) PCI/PCI Express
R
For Q80BD-J61BT11N, PCI is applicable.
For Q81BD-J61BT11, PCI Express
(5) Parameters can easily be set.
The parameters necessary for the operation of the CC-Link system can easily be
set with a CC-Link Ver.2 utility program; thus, programming is simplified.
(6) Test and monitoring information related to the CC-Link system can
be displayed.
The test and monitoring states in the CC-Link system can be easily displayed on
a personal computer.
(7) Support for a multiple CPU system
By specifying the logical station number via the CC-Link Ver.2 utility, a multiple
CPU system can be accessed.
(8) It provides the functions that support user programming.
It is possible to perform the remote control of remote I/O stations, remote device
stations, intelligent device stations, and local stations, as well as reading and
writing of devices using the functions that support Microsoft
Microsoft Visual Basic
R
Example:
Control of the input signal X and output signal Y of a remote I/O station
Analogue voltage output control of a remote device station (analogue module)
Communication control of an intelligent device station (RS-232C module)
(9) It provides the drivers for various operating systems.
Various drivers are provided for easy system configuration according to the user
environment.
For details on the compatible operating system, refer to Section 2.3.
(10) Prevent separation of cyclic data by each station
In the CC-Link Ver.2 utility, cyclic data can be assured only by enabling the
parameter of block data assurance per station setting.
