CC-Link IE Field Network Basic Communications

CC-Link IE Field Basic is a protocol designed to integrate Ethernet devices into a Mitsubishi Automation Controller. As opposed to the existing SLMP (MC Protocol), the Mitsubishi automation controllers act as the master, driving the communications to the slave devices over standard UDP messaging. The communications support 64 bits and 32 16-bit words of data per station in each direction, with each slave supporting 4 stations. The data is mapped into controller memory through the Mitsubishi setup tools (GXWorks 2/3).

Note: For information on how to configure the GX Works 2 software, please refer to Communicating with a Mitsubishi Automation Controller on CC-Link IE Field Network Basic. Also, the detailed information is available in the Mitsubishi's CC-Link IE Field Network Basic Reference Manual.
