7.4 CC-Link IE Field Network Communication Function

Fast link-up function
This function shortens the time taken for data link establishment with the master station at power-on.
With this function, the time to change tools can be shortened in the system with a tool change mechanism (such as a tool
changer) for tools that can be installed at the end of an industrial robot arm.
The data link time varies depending on the number of connected modules or cable length. When eight IO-Link modules are
connected (excluding the IO-Link module directly connected to the master module) and the station-to-station distance is 30m,
data link is established in 0.5s on average.
Applicable master station
To use the fast link-up function, use the following modules as master modules. The time to establish data link can be
shortened by using the following master module.
