1.1 Overview 1.1 Overview CC-Link IE Field is a high-speed and high-capacity field network conforming to IEEE802.3ab (1000BASE-T) as the transmission medium. XSEL controllers equipped with the CC-Link IE Field module are capable of a cyclic (in constant frequency) data communication with the CC-Lin IE Field master unit. The data should be indicated for the data going from XSEL to the maser as the remote input (RX) and the remote resister (RWr), and for the data from the master to XSEL as the remote output (RY) and the remote register (RWw).
