Flow Of Operations; Flowchart - Mitsubishi Electric MELFA CR800-D Series Instruction Manual

2. Flow of Operations

The flowchart below shows the flow of operations necessary for configuring a CC-Link interface system.
Use it as a reference to perform the required operations in the correct order.

2.1. Flowchart

1 Determining Specification for CC-Link Control........................See Chapter 3 of this manual.
Once you understand the CC-Link specification, specify the interfaces required for signals to be
communicated within your system via CC-Link communication (e.g., assignment of dedicated I/O signals,
specification of general-purpose I/O signals).
2 Checking Products .................................................................. See Chapter 4 of this manual.
Check the product you have purchased and prepare other products as needed.
3 Hardware Settings and Wiring................................................. See Chapters 5 and 6 of this manual.
Set up the CC-Link interface card as well as the master station. After you have made the settings, install
the CC-Link interface card in the robot controller, and then wire the installed CC-Link interface card and the
master station.
4 Creating a Ladder Program for the Master Station ................. See Section 7.1 of this manual.
Create a ladder program for the master station so that it can be linked to the robot controller.* If the robot
controller is started without running a ladder program stored in the master station, an E7730 error (CC-Link
local station link error) occurs.
5 Setting Robot Controller Parameters....................................... See Section 7.2 of this manual.
Set dedicated I/O signals for communication between the master station and the robot controller. With this
setting, it becomes possible to control the robot controller from the master station.
6 Creating Robot Programs........................................................ See Section 7.3 of this manual.
Create robot programs according to the specification determined in Operation 1 above.
7 Performing CC-Link Control .................................................... See Section 7.4 of this manual.
Run the ladder program stored in the master station and perform control via the CC-Link communication.
