CC-Link IE TSN master/local module
Control communication requiring real-time performance and TCP/IP communication can be mixed, maximizing CC‑Link IE TSN performance and functionality.

CC-Link IE TSN Plus master/local module
Deterministic control even when mixed with TCP/IP communicationRJ71GN11-T2
- 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.

- *1.Class B managed Ethernet switch supporting CC-Link IE TSN recommended by the CC-Link Partner Association
Reducing overall operating time with high-speed link scanRJ71GN11-T2
- 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

- *2.This value is achieved when fast operation mode of the motion module (RD78GH) is used. For details, please refer to the “MELSEC iQ-R Motion Module User’s Manual (Application) (IB-0300411ENG)”.
- *3.Comparison with CC-Link IE Field Network Motion
- *4.Comparison with CC-Link IE Field Network
Error cause analysis with highly precise time synchronizationRJ71GN11-T2
- 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

Utilize other network devicesRJ71GN11-EIP
- Utilize EtherNet/IP™ devices
- Utilize EtherNet/IP™ devices while maintaining high-speed/high-accuracy CC-Link IE TSN communication
- Both networks are easily settable within the engineering software GX Works3
- Socket communication is supported, allowing devices that do not support SLMP via general Ethernet to be connected
