CC-Link IE Broadcast
Easier network integrationMitsubishi Electric is launching CC-Link IE Field Network Basic
compatible products to further leverage networking on the
production floor. With recent trends of IoT*1, network connection
of devices and equipment for small-scale systems are becoming
more mainstream. CC-Link IE Field Network Basic realizes
easier network integration, as its cyclic communications stack
is software-based, without requiring a dedicated ASIC helping
to reduce implementation costs for device partners.
Plant-wide seamless communicationUtilizing standard Ethernet technology, TCP/IP protocol stack
for communications (such as HTTP, FTP) is supported. Based
on SLMP*2, data flows transparently between the sensor level
and the enterprise level across multiple industry-standard
automation networks. Seamless communication can be easily
realized with CC-Link IE Field Network Basic, further improving
performance of the manufacturing enterprise.
Highlights
• Small-scale network system configuration
• Simple setup and easy troubleshooting
• Combining with TCP/IP communications
• Wider range of connectable products

Positioning within CC-Link IE NetworkThe Ethernet-based open network CC-Link IE is a high-speed
and large-capacity network integrating distributed control,
I/O control, safety control, and motion control. CC-Link IE Field
Network Basic, which is a part of CC-Link IE, realizes easier
connection of Ethernet devices. Transparent communications
are achieved by utilizing SLMP that enables seamless
connectivity within all levels of manufacturing.

❶ Small-scale network system
configurationMELSEC programmable controller CPUs
with an embedded Ethernet port can be
used as a master station, eliminating the
need for an additional network module. The
network can be configured with a minimum
number of modules reducing space and
hardware cost.
Supporting Ethernet protocol stack realizing highly-flexible
systemThe protocol for CC-Link IE Field Network Basic is software-based (not requiring ASIC), realizing a wider range of
compatible products. The network operates on the standard Ethernet protocol stack, which can be used together with TCP/IP
communications. This feature allows CC-Link IE Field Network Basic compatible products and Ethernet compatible products to
be connected on the same Ethernet communications line, enabling a highly-flexible and low cost system.

❷ Simple setup and easy troubleshootingCyclic communications can be easily done just by registering
parameters without requiring dedicated programs. Settings
such as IP address can be easily done by automatically
detecting slave devices using either the GX Works3 or GX
Works 2 engineering tool. Maintenance is easier by being
able to monitor the operating and communication statuses
of nodes connected on the network.
❹ Wider range of connectable productsAs CC-Link IE Field Network Basic protocol is software-based, supported-products can be easily developed at a lower cost, a
wider range of CC-Link IE Field Network Basic-supported devices can be readily available.
❸ Combining with TCP/IP communicationsBy enabling cyclic communication control on standard
Ethernet, parameter setting and status monitoring can be
done with peripheral devices (such as an enterprise level
or tablet computer) connected via TCP/IP communications.
Systems requiring several manufacturing line devices can
be realized by connecting Ethernet compatible devices such
as a label printer, bar-code reader, and weighing scale.
