TERMS
Unless otherwise specified, this manual uses the following terms.
Term Description
Authentication Class A group of devices and switching hubs compatible with CC-Link IE TSN, ranked according to the functions and
performance by the CC-Link Partner Association.
For Authentication Class, refer to the CC-Link IE TSN Installation Manual (BAP-C3007ENG-001) published by the CC-
Link Partner Association.
Cyclic transmission A function by which data are periodically exchanged among stations on the same network using link devices
Data link Communications performed by cyclic transmission and transient transmission
Engineering tool A tool used for setting up programmable controllers, programming, debugging, and maintenance
Link device A device (RX, RY, RWr, RWw, LB, or LW) in a module on CC-Link IE TSN
Local station A station that performs cyclic transmission and transient transmission with the master station and other local stations.
Master station A station that controls the entire network. This station can perform cyclic transmission and transient transmission with all
stations.
Only one master station can be used in a network.
Multicast filter A filter function that selects whether or not the own station sends cyclic data of multicast to the subsequent stations after
receiving them.
Since the master station sets the multicast filter according to the system configuration, parameter settings for this filter
function are not required.
Multicast mode Cyclic data are sent to multiple stations in this communication mode.
Remote station A station that exchanges I/O signals (bit data) and I/O data (word data) with another station by cyclic transmission. This
station can perform transient transmission.
Reserved station A station reserved for future use. This station is not actually connected, but counted as a connected station.
Slave station A station other than a master station: a local station, a remote station
Transient transmission A function of communication with another station, which is used when requested by a dedicated instruction or an
engineering tool
