    CC-Link IE Controller Network module

    A highly reliable control network designed to handle very large data communications (128K words) over a high-speed (1 Gbps) dual-loop optical cable topology.

    Features <sup>Continuous communications even when cable or stations are faulty </sup>

    • Optical fiber cable
    • Highly reliable
    • Utilizing a high-speed, noise resistant fiber-optic topology, the CC-Link IE Controller Network supports a loop-back function that guarantees continuous communications even when a cable is disconnected or a station falls into a fault status

    Extensive real-time network monitoring

    • Easy troubleshooting
    • The network status can be easily monitored directly from engineering software GX Works3 enabling intuitive troubleshooting of network errors or viewing the operation of the network while in communications
    • All stations within the network can be monitored regardless of which station the software is connected too
