Synchronizable range of the inter-module synchronization
To use this function, set the master station as the inter-module synchronous master.
The communication cycles match based on time synchronization between the master station and device 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 device 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 device stations supporting the CC-Link IE Field Network
synchronous communication function.

 When the firmware version "11" or later is used, multiple Motion modules and CC-Link IE TSN master/local modules (master stations) on the same base unit
can be synchronized with the inter-module synchronization cycle. At this time, set the Motion module at the left end to the inter-module synchronization
master on the same base unit.
 Any other networks that are after the first local station cannot be synchronized.
