Description
A group of devices and switching hubs compatible with CC-Link IE TSN, classified according to the functions and
performance by the CC-Link Partner Association.
For authentication Class, refer to the CC-Link IE TSN Installation Manual (BAP-C3007ENG-001) published by the CC-Link
Partner Association.
Memory in an intelligent function module to store data such as setting values and monitor values.
For CPU modules, it refers to memory to store data such as setting values and monitor values of the Ethernet function, or
data used for data communication of the multiple CPU system function.
An instruction that simplifies programming for using functions of intelligent function modules
A memory of a CPU module to store data. Devices such as X, Y, M, D, and others are provided depending on the intended
use.
A tool used for setting up programmable controllers, programming, debugging, and maintenance
An authentication Class A switching hub authorized by CC-Link Partner Association ( Page 59 Switching hub)
A label that is valid for all the program data when multiple program data are created in the project. There are two types of
global label: a module specific label (module label), which is generated automatically by GX Works3, and an optional label,
which can be created for any specified device.
A module that has functions other than input and output, such as an A/D converter module and D/A converter module
A device (RX, RY, RWr, RWw, LB, or LW) in a module on CC-Link IE TSN
Processing of data transfer between link devices of the network module and CPU module devices.
Link refresh is performed in "END processing" of the sequence scan of the CPU module.
A station that performs cyclic transmission and transient transmission with the master station and other local stations
A station that controls the entire network. This station can perform cyclic transmission and transient transmission with all
stations. Only one master station can be used in a network.
A label that represents one of memory areas (I/O signals and buffer memory areas) specific to each module in a given
character string. For the module used, GX Works3 automatically generates this label, which can be used as a global label.
A filter function that selects whether to send cyclic data of multicast mode received by the own station to the subsequent
stations.
Setting parameters for this function are not required because the master station automatically sets the parameters
according to the system configuration.
A communication mode used to send cyclic data to multiple stations
A station that relays data link to other station with mounting more than one network modules on one programmable
controller.
A station that exchanges I/O signals (bit data) and I/O data (word data) with another station by cyclic transmission. This
station can perform transient transmission.
A function to exchange safety data between safety stations on the same network
A connection established for safety communication
Data exchanged through safety communication
A station other than a master station: a local station and a remote I/O station
A SeamLess Message Protocol.
This protocol is used to access an SLMP-compatible device or a programmable controller connected to an SLMP-
compatible device from an external device.
Communications other than safety communications, such as cyclic transmission and transient transmission of CC-Link IE
TSN
An authentication Class B switching hub authorized by CC-Link Partner Association ( Page 59 Switching hub)
A communication mode used to send cyclic data to one station
