Product Features

Windows® and VxWorks® pre-installed

The module can run two operating systems at the same time, VxWorks® with deterministic performance for device control and data collection and Windows® for displaying analysis results of collected data, allowing superior processing according to OS. This feature allows one module to realize device control and information processing which were previously managed using a computer and dedicated device, reducing system configuration cost and space for devices. Passing data between OSs is easy via share memory and share folder.

Even if Windows® freezes, restarting Windows® is possible while VxWorks® is running.

CC-Link IE Field Network realizes highly accurate device control

Control data and production data of devices can be communicated at 1 ms via CC-Link IE Field Network, realizing highly accurate device control and high-speed production data collection. The module is equipped with CC-Link IE Field Network port and CC-Link IE Field Network Basic port which enable easy connection with compatible products just by setting.

Easier programming

Using Windows® and VxWorks® API, high-speed data communications between OSs and access to various devices are easily realized and programming is also easy. In addition, the module uses same functions as the C Controller such as CCPU functions and MD functions, program assets of the C Controller can be utilized. Inheriting highly robust features of the MELSEC programmable controllers, the module can continuously operate in various environments for a long term. In addition, consumable items are easily removed and replaced, making maintenance easy.
