A highly reliable control network designed to handle very large data communications (128K words) over a high-speed (1 Gbps) dual-loop optical cable topology.

Features<sup>Continuous communications even when cable or stations are faulty</sup>

  • Optical fiber cable
  • Highly reliable
  • Utilizing a high-speed, noise resistant fiber-optic topology, the CC-Link IE Controller Network supports a loop-back function that guarantees continuous communications even when a cable is disconnected or a station falls into a fault status

Extensive real-time network monitoring

  • Easy troubleshooting
  • The network status can be easily monitored directly from engineering software GX Works3 enabling intuitive troubleshooting of network errors or viewing the operation of the network while in communications
  • All stations within the network can be monitored regardless of which station the software is connected too
