Safety protocol versions and safety communication standards

Safety communication of the CC-Link IE Field Network complies with safety communication standards (IEC61784-3). Please note that said standards of different publication year applies to each safety protocol version.

Safety protocol version Safety communication standards publication year
1 IEC 61784-3: 2010
2 IEC 61784-3: 2021

Safety protocol versions vary depending on the product types and firmware versions.
Please refer to the connectability of the master stations and safety remote I/Os below.
For how to check firmware versions, please refer to the relevant product manuals.

Connectability of the master stations and safety remote I/Os

  • ASafety protocol versions: 1 and 2

    Master station

    (safety CPU module): firmware version 29 or later
    (master module RJ71GF11-T2): firmware version 70 or later

  • BSafety protocol version: 1

    Master station

    (safety CPU module): firmware versions 01 to 28
    (master module RJ71GF11-T2): firmware versions 06 to 69

  • CSafety protocol version: 2

    Safety remote I/O: Model name ends with “-S1”
    NZ2GNS12A2-14DT
    NZ2GNS12A2-16DTE

  • DSafety protocol version: 1
