Seamless integration of Mitsubishi Electric's servo system into
CC-Link
IE Field brings vast possibilities to the world of Industrial Automation.
CC-Link IE Field Network is a single network which combines the versatility of Ethernet and highly accurate synchronous operation for Motion control. With the single network, various field devices, such as servo amplifiers, I/O modules, and high-speed counter modules, are connected flexibly.
Various tasks, such as Simple Motion parameter settings, servo adjustment, and debugging as well as creating a sequence program, such as a function block (FB), are performed only with this all-in-one engineering software.
■ Motion mode
Motion mode enables advanced motion control functions, such as positioning for multi-axis interpolation, synchronous control, and speed-torque control in combination with the Simple Motion module.
■ I/O mode
I/O mode easily drives a belt conveyor, a rotary table, a ball screw mechanism, etc. by using the built-in positioning function in a servo amplifier.
Various data, such as synchronous encoder values, sheet tension values, and text data, are inputted and outputted in accordance with the servo command communication cycle, enabling a wide range of Motion control applications.

With a switching hub, multiple network topologies are supported including star, line, ring, star and line combinations. This flexibility allows additional equipment to be simply connected to any available port, with little concern for restrictions.
The CC-Link IE Field Network is equipped with Motion function in the cyclic communication bandwidth. Synchronous communication with the servo amplifiers becomes possible, offering high-speed and high-accuracy positioning, synchronous control, and cam control.
