CC-Link IE Field Network Basic realizes easier network integration, as its cyclic communications stack is software-based, without requiring a dedicated ASIC. The network operates on the standard Ethernet protocol stack, which can be used together with TCP/IP communications (such as HTTP, FTP). This feature allows CC-Link IE Field Network Basic compatible products and Ethernet compatible products to be connected on the same Ethernet communications line, enabling a highly-flexible and lowcost system.
