  • *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 FX5U User's Manual (Hardware)”.
  • *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.For RJ71GN11-T2 and RJ71GN11-EIP, 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 refer to the technical bulletin “FA-A-0152” for the MELSEC iQ-R Series and “HIME-T-P-0185” for the MELSEC iQ-F Series.
  • *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.

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*19

  • 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
  • *19.Mixing with star topology or line topology is not supported.

CC-Link IE TSN Class

CC-Link IE TSN certifies nodes and switches to a specific class level according to its functionality and performance classification. Products can be classified as either class A or B. For the CC-Link IE TSN Class of each product, please check the CC-Link Partner Association website or the relevant product catalog or manual. Supported functions and system configuration may differ according to the CC-Link IE TSN Class of products used. For example, products compatible with class B are necessary to configure a high-speed motion control system. For details of configuring systems with both class A and class B devices, please refer to relevant master product manual.

System configuration

  • Synchronous accuracy of a system varies relative to the combination of connected devices and switches CC-Link IE TSN Class
  • Use class B Ethernet switch when configuring a star topology with class B devices
  • Use class B devices when configuring a system within ±1 µs high-accuracy synchronization, connect class A devices to a separate branch line from class B devices (for details of system configuration, please refer to relevant master product manual)
  • Mitsubishi Electric's block type remote modules comply both class B and A
