CC-Link Settings Dialog

The CC-Link Settings dialog configures the active In-Sight vision system for CC-Link communications using a CIO-MICRO-CC I/O module. Input data is read into the spreadsheet using the ReadCCLinkBitBuffer and ReadCCLinkWordBuffer functions. For more information, see ReadCCLinkBitBuffer and ReadCCLinkWordBuffer. Output data is written from the spreadsheet to the CC-Link network using the WriteCCLinkBitBuffer and WriteCCLinkWordBuffer functions. For more information, see WriteCCLinkBitBuffer and WriteCCLinkWordBuffer.

Note:
  • CC-Link is only available on In-Sight vision systems using In-Sight firmware 4.x.x, and is not available on In-Sight vision systems running In-Sight firmware 5.1.0 and later. For a complete list of models and supported firmware versions, see Firmware Versions.
  • Refer to the In-Sight® CIO-MICRO & CIO-MICRO-CC I/O Modules Installation Manual for CC-Link wiring configurations.

Display the CC-Link Settings Dialog

  1. On the Sensor menu, click CC-Link Settings.

  2. Click the I/O Module button to open the I/O Module Configuration dialog and configure the I/O module. Press the OK button to close the I/O Module Configuration dialog and return to the CC-Link Settings dialog. For more information, see I/O Module Configuration.

    Note:
    • After the first successful connection between the vision system and an I/O module, an "(attached)" message is displayed next to the I/O module that is physically attached to the sensor.
    • If CIO-MICRO, CIO-MICRO-CC or CIO-WENET is the selected I/O module, when the OK button is clicked, the vision system attempts to establish EtherNet/IP communication with the module, using the specified IP address. If the IP address does not exist on the network, if EtherNet/IP is not enabled on the module, or if another device already has an EtherNet/IP connection to the module, an error message will appear.
  3. Configure the CC-Link settings.
