FR-A800-GN Inverter and FR-A8NCG Plug-in Option for CC-Link IE TSN Communication Function

Features

With the CC-Link IE TSN (Time Sensitive Networking) communication function, data can be transmitted to IT systems while performing real-time cyclic communication control.

CC-Link IE TSN is also supported by FR-A800/FR-F800 standard inverters with the plug-in option FR-A8NCG.

Station numbers are easily set with rotary switches.
Automatic detection of the network configuration by the engineering software (GX Works3) reduces the startup time.
Problems at startup such as line faults can be discovered at a glance with the diagnostic function.

Time synchronization allows for real-time monitoring.
This enables trouble analysis to be performed right after an error has occurred.
FR Configurator2 can be connected via Ethernet, which makes maintenance work easier.

The communication specification varies depending on the specification of the master.
