3.3.1. Features when CC-Link IE Field module is mounted

The following features are enabled when the CC-Link IE Field module is mounted on the 2F-DQ535 card.
(1) Connection
Connection to CC-Link IE Field Network is enabled.
CC-Link IE Field Network is an all-around field network based on Gigabit Ethernet that integrates the
controller-distributed control, I/O control, safety control, and motion control.
It enables flexible wiring with the topology such as star, line, or ring depending on the production line
or the layout of equipment or devices.
(2) Transmission style
IEE 802.3ab (1000BASE-T) Ethernet standard compatible, shielded twisted pair cable (Category 5e),
RJ-45 connector
(3) Data
Maximum 256-byte data communication using the real-time I/O signals (bit devices) and maximum
512-byte data communication using I/O registers (word devices) are available. The allocation can be
set with parameters described later.
Example 1) 128 bits (16 bytes) for input signals, 64 words (128 bytes) for input registers, 144 bytes in
total
128 bits (16 bytes) for output signals, 64 words (128 bytes) for output registers, 144 bytes
in total
Example 2) 2048 bits (256 bytes) for input signals, 0 words (0 bytes) for input registers, 256 bytes in
total
2048 bits (256 bytes) for output signals, 0 words (0 bytes) for output registers, 256 bytes
in total
(4) The table below shows differences of the functions available when the CC-link IE Field module is used
and those available with the standard Ethernet interface of the robot controller.

4
external control
CAUTION
Only cyclic transmission is supported. Transient transmission is not
supported.
Although two types of transmission, cyclic transmission (periodic) and transient
transmission (non-periodic), are possible, this controller does not support the transient
transmission (as of April 2017).
Explanation
Handling of data using I/O signals and
I/O registers by Ethernet.

Communication with other devices, such
as a network vision sensor, by Ethernet
Robot control from a personal computer,
etc.
