Auto-generation of network parameters

• Easy startup

Automatic generation of system parameters is relatively easy; simply connect the engineering software with the network master station. New parameters are reflected automatically even when the system configuration changes, reducing overall network setup time.

Easy diagnostics/data collection utilizing general Ethernet technology

• Easy diagnostics
• Data collection

General Ethernet diagnostics software compatible with SNMP^*1 can be used for monitoring CC-Link IE TSN and Ethernet network devices. In addition to Mitsubishi Electric's engineering software, system-wide diagnostic analysis and monitoring across the entire network are possible. CC-Link IE TSN communication software for Windows® realizes data collection at a low cost with easy setting without requiring network configuration setting change.

• *1.SNMP: Simple Network Management Protocol

Error cause analysis with highly precise time synchronizationTSN Technology

• SoE

Highly accurate time synchronization accuracy within ±1 µs and each station connected to the network sharing time-stamp information in 1 ms increments improves system diagnostics and troubleshooting by enabling sequential analysis of stations in the network. The error history is displayed consecutively based on time-stamp data, enabling accurate analysis of the cause of error using the actual time the event occurred.

Combining with safety communications

• Safety communication

CC-Link IE TSN enables control of safety and non-safety communications realizing a flexible system whereby safety communications can be easily incorporated into the main control network. Safety sub-functions (STO/SS1/SS2/SOS/SLS/SBC/SSM)^*2 are also supported for drive-control devices that are on the network.

• *2.Inverter FR-E800-SCE supports only STO/SS1/SLS/SSM/SBC. Robot MELFA FR Series supports STO/SS1/SS2/SOS/SLS/SLP.
• *3.When mixing 100 Mbps with 1 Gbps-rated devices on the same network, connect the 100 Mbps device after a device supporting 1 Gbps (class B).

Ensure latest functional version with firmware update

CC-Link IE TSN-compatible devices can be updated, ensuring latest functional version modules.
