Synchronizable range
To use this function, set the master station as an inter-module synchronous master.
The communication cycles match based on time synchronization between the master station and slave stations. This allows a
device supporting the CC-Link IE TSN network synchronous communication function to operate in synchronization with the
inter-module synchronization cycle of the programmable controllers of the master station.
The following shows the synchronizable ranges.
• Operation can be performed by synchronizing a module supporting the inter-module synchronization function on the same
base unit as the master station with slave stations.
• The local station sends an inter-module synchronization command to the module mounted on the base unit of the local
station at the start timing of the communication cycle. Operation can be performed in synchronization with a module
supporting the inter-module synchronization function mounted on the base unit of the local station.
• When a CC-Link IE Field Network-equipped master/local module (master station) exists on the same base unit as the
master station, operation can be performed in synchronization with slave stations supporting the CC-Link IE Field Network
synchronous communication function.

 When the firmware version "11" or later is used, multiple CC-Link IE TSN master/local modules (master stations) on the same base unit can be synchronized
with the inter-module synchronization cycle. Set the leftmost CC-Link IE TSN master/local module (master station) on the same base unit as the inter-
module synchronous master.
 Networks after the first local station cannot be synchronized.
