7.4 CC-Link IE Field Network Communication
Function
Cyclic transmission
This function periodically exchanges data among stations on the network using link devices.
An IO-Link module operates as an intelligent device station on the CC-Link IE Field Network.
The status of the master station link devices (RY, RWw) is output to the IO-Link module external devices, and the status of
input from the IO-Link module external devices are stored in the master station link devices (RX, RWr).
The following table lists applications of link devices used for the IO-Link module.
For details on the CC-Link IE Field Network cyclic transmission, refer to the following.
