Deterministic control even when mixed with TCP/IP communication

  • Mixed TCP/IP communication
  • IIoT system
  • Deterministic performance of cyclic communication is maintained even when mixed with slower information data (non real-time)
  • TCP/IP communication devices can be used without affecting overall control

*Some devices cannot be connected to CC-Link IE TSN depending on the system configuration.

Deterministic control even when mixed with TCP/IP communication

*1.Class B managed Ethernet switch supporting CC-Link IE TSN recommended by the CC-Link Partner Association

Error cause analysis with highly precise time synchronization

  • Time-series analysis
  • Synchronized communication
  • 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

Error cause analysis with highly precise time synchronization

Reducing overall operating time with high-speed link scan

  • Min. communication cycle 31.25 µs *2
  • High-speed processing 16 x *3 faster
  • Link points 2 x *4
  • The advanced protocol built into CC-Link IE TSN is complemented by the time-sharing method functionality that enables simultaneous communications between network stations
  • Fast communication cycle time of just 31.25 µs*2 and high-speed processing approximately 16 times faster than current network performance are achieved, resulting in high-speed and high-accuracy motion control
  • Productivity is simultaneously improved owing to a substantial increase in control performance, which reduces overall operating time and enables high-speed and large capacity data communication
