  • *1.Enables standard MELSEC iQ-R Series modules to support extended operating ambient temperature of 0 to 60°C, ensuring the same performance as the standard operating ambient temperature (0 to 55°C). When requiring to use in an ambient temperature environment higher than 60°C, please consult your local Mitsubishi Electric representative.
  • *2.In the case where operating ambient temperature is lower than 0°C, the specifications are different from the above description. For details, please refer to the “MELSEC iQ-F FX5S/FX5UJ/FX5U/FX5UC User's Manual (Hardware)” (SH-082452ENG).
  • *3.When using FX5-CCLGN-MS manufactured in December 2020 or earlier, the operating ambient temperature is -20 to 50°C. The operating ambient temperature of the programmable controller system is the same.
  • *4.The criterion is shown in IEC 61131-2.
  • *5.The special coated products, which improve resistance to corrosive gas concentrations as specified in IEC 60721-3-3: 1994 3C2, are available for the use in a corrosive gas environment. For details of the special coated products, please consult your local Mitsubishi Electric representative.
  • *6.Do not use or store the programmable controller under pressure higher than the atmospheric pressure of altitude 0 m. Doing so may cause malfunction or lead to failure.
  • *7.When using programmable controllers at an altitude higher than 2000 m, the upper limits of the permissible voltage and the operating ambient temperature become lower. For further details, please consult your local Mitsubishi Electric representative.
  • *8.This indicates the section of the power supply to which the equipment is assumed to be connected between the public electrical power distribution network and the machinery within premises. Category II applies to equipment for which electrical power is supplied from fixed facilities. The surge voltage withstand level for up to the rated voltage of 300 V is 2500 V.
  • *9.This index indicates the degree to which conductive material is generated in terms of the environment in which the equipment is used. Pollution level 2 is when only non-conductive pollution occurs. Temporary conductivity caused by condensation must be expected occasionally.

  • *10.The maximum number of connectable stations is 256 when modules that operate as extension modules, such as a multiple-axis drive unit, are included in the number.
  • *11.Device stations supporting 253-station connections will be expanded. For details, please refer to Technical Bulletin (FA-A-0451).
  • *12.Please use a managed Ethernet switch supporting CC-Link IE TSN (class B) recommended by the CC-Link Partner Association.
  • *13.Line topology and star topology can be mixed.
  • *14.Includes a master station.
  • *15.The CC-Link IE TSN Plus master/local module can only be connected at the end of the network.
  • *16.Availability depends on the firmware version.
  • *17.The total number of connections for Class 1 communications, UCMM tag communications (server function), and Class 3 communications is 256. Therefore, the number of each connection varies depending on the number and size of separate communications.
  • *18.If the external device does not support Large Forward Open (CIP option specifications), the communication data size is up to 504 bytes.
  • *19.PPS: Number of frames that can be processed per second
  • *20.The maximum number of simultaneous executions (the number of connections that can be received simultaneously) for the server function is 96 for the total of UCMM and Class 3 communications server functions.
  • *21.For specifications of local station, please refer to the “MELSEC iQ-F FX5 CC-Link IE TSN Master/Local Module User's Manual (SH-082215ENG)”.
  • *22.An Ethernet switch is required for a star topology. Up to 20 Ethernet switches can be connected.
  • *23.Ring topology is only possible for a system configured with RD78GH CC-Link IE TSN Class B only. Ring topology is not supported in systems mixing CC-Link IE TSN Class B and Class A, or in systems configured with CC-Link IE TSN Class A only.

Network topologies

Line topology

Network topology ideal for system configurations with high-speed/high-performance control

  • High-speed communication is possible as the system is configured with CC-Link IE TSN-compatible device stations only
  • Easier system configuration without an Ethernet switch
  • Ideal for highly accurate motion control systems

Star topology

Network topology ideal for flexible system configurations

  • Easily realizes distributed arrangement of device stations with an Ethernet switch
  • Easy to change/rearrange equipment or system configuration
  • Ideal for general production line control systems

Ring topology

Network topology ideal for systems requiring high reliability*24

  • Maintain data communications with normal stations even if a cable is disconnected or an error occurs in one of the device stations
  • Configuration without requiring an Ethernet switch
  • Ideal for continuously operating control system
  • *24.Mixing with star topology or line topology is not supported.
