CC-Link IE TSN supports TCP/IP communications and applies it to industrial architectures through its support of TSN enabling real-time communications. With its flexible system architecture and extensive setup and troubleshooting features make CC-Link IE TSN ideal for building an IIoT infrastructure across the manufacturing enterprise.
TSN: Time Sensitive Networking
IIoT: Industrial Internet of Things
TSN technology enables mixing of deterministic communications with IT system information data on the same network. Giving higher priority to CC-Link IE TSN cyclic communications and TCP/IP communications by allocating increased network bandwidth, devices using general Ethernet communications can be connected on the same network while maintaining real-time control communication performance.
Deterministic performance of cyclic communication is maintained even when mixed with slower information data (non real-time). This enables TCP/IP communication devices to be used without affecting overall control.
* Some devices cannot be connected to CC-Link IE TSN depending on the system configuration.
*1. Class B switching hub supporting CC-Link IE TSN recommended by the CC-Link Partner Association.
Current network systems use multiple networks to enable communication between IT and control systems
on the shop floor.
CC-Link IE TSN is a one-stop solution for integrating different networks, thereby realizing
flexibility in topology and reducing wiring cost.
CC-Link IE TSN controls I/O modules while also maintaining high-speed motion control. The single network boosts machine performance.
*1. RD78G supports the standard stations by using the Simple Motion mode.
Set time is completely synchronized among servo amplifiers, Motion modules, and PLC CPUs. This time synchronization enables accurate recording of the event history in chronological order, making it simple to identify the cause of errors.
TCP/IP communication (information communication) can be mixed in the same line with the real-time
control communications of CC-Link IE TSN.
CC-Link IE TSN device stations and TCP/IP devices can be connected on the same network, achieving a
flexible and integrated network system.
Note that the TCP/IP devices must be connected after servo amplifiers and I/O modules.
