CC-Link IE Field Network Configuration

CC-Link IE Field Network is configured using Ethernet cables.
Network topology
For the CC-Link IE Field Network-equipped master/local module, configure the network in star topology, line topology, or ring
topology using the Ethernet cables.
Star topology and line topology can be combined in a network. Ring topology cannot be combined with star or line topology.
■Star topology
The network is configured into a star shape using a switching hub and Ethernet cables. Slave stations can be easily added to
the network using this topology.
When an error occurs in a slave station, data link can be continued with the stations that are operating normally.
■Line topology
The network is configured into a line using Ethernet cables. A switching hub is not required.
When an error occurs in a slave station, the stations connected after the faulty station will be disconnected.
