A system configured with CC-Link IE Field Network Basic has following features:
• Flexible network connection is configured easily using a managed switch.
(Network topology: Star topology, Maximum station-to-station distance: 100 m (Note 1))
• An FX5 CPU module alone controls multiple axes. (Up to 6 axes are connectable. (Note 2))
• Simple synchronous operations including horizontal, vertical, and rotational movements are possible with a start signal to all axes via cyclic transmission.
• Tuning, monitoring, diagnosing, reading/writing parameters, and test operations are enabled with a personal computer (MR Configurator2) connected via Ethernet.(Note 3)Ver.UP
[Application examples]
Notes: 1. For the maximum station-to-station distance, contact manufacturers of the managed switch to be used.
2. For the maximum number of axes to be connected, refer to the relevant instruction manuals of the master station to be used.
3. Ethernet communication is supported by MR-JE-C servo amplifier with software version A3 or later and MR Configurator2 with software version 1.68W or later.
