This chapter describes the application and features of the bridge module.
1.1

Application

A bridge module is a module to connect a CC-Link remote station to CC-Link IE Field Network.
A bridge module allows a CC-Link Ver.1-compatible CC-Link remote station to connect to CC-Link IE Field Network.
For the functions of CC-Link IE Field Network, refer to the following.

1.2

Features

(1) No need to set CC-Link parameters
A bridge module allows CC-Link parameters to be set by switch operation alone. ( Page 55, Section 7.2)
In addition, a CC-Link remote station can be added easily into the system by switch operation on the bridge
module.
(2) Easy to control a CC-Link remote station
Link devices assigned to bridge modules are directly assigned to the link devices of a CC-Link remote station in
the order of the station numbers.
This allows the master station to control a CC-Link remote station in the same way as the slave stations on CC-
Link IE Field Network.
