1. Features

CC-Link is the abbreviation of Control & Communication Link. The CC-Link system
connects the robot controller and dispersed input/output modules with dedicated cables,
and controls these modules from the master station PLC. The CC-Link system allows
wiring to be reduced.
Remote device station
Station controlled by master station in CC-Link
system. The robot controller corresponds to this.
CC-Link is a registered trademark of CC-Link partner association.
The CC-Link compatible module provided with a
Link Ver.1.10.

NOTE
The dedicated input of STD.DIO connector provided on the RCX40/141/142
controllers will be disabled except for an interlock signal (DI 11). When the Board
condition (external 24V monitor control) of system parameters is set invalid, the
interlock signal (DI 11) will also be disabled. On the RCX221/222, the dedicated
input of STD.DIO connector will be disabled, but the interlock signal (DI 11) in
SAFETY connector enabled.
[Wiring saving]
One dedicated cable (4-wire) is used to connect the robot controller and PLC. This allows
the entire system wiring to be reduced.
[Emulated serialization on parallel DIO]
By making the robot controller's internal settings without using a robot program, the
various I/O devices, such as the sensors and relays mounted on the robot controller's
parallel I/O can be controlled from the PLC as if they were CC-Link system I/O devices.
c
CAUTION
An emergency stop terminal for hardwire is provided in SAFETY connector on the
robot controller. In the case of the RCX40/141/142, when the CC-Link system is
used while STD. DIO is not used (external DC 24V power supply is not used), the
Board condition (external 24V monitor control) of system parameters must be set
invalid. If it is left valid, the STD. DIO interlock signal is enabled causing an error in
the robot operation commands.
Master station
Station that controls entire CC-Link system.
The PLC master module corresponds to this.
