CHAPTER 1 OVERVIEW
This manual explains the specifications, functions, preparatory procedures and setting,
programming, and troubleshooting of the CC-Link IE Controller Network board.
When applying program examples introduced in this manual to the actual system, it is
necessary to perform a sufficient examination to make sure they don't cause any error in
the system control.
For construction of the CC-Link IE Controller Network, refer to the following manual.

1.1
Overview
The CC-Link IE Controller Network board allows connection of a personal computer to a
CC-Link IE Controller Network, realizing high-speed and large-volume data
communications between the computer and programmable controllers.
POINT
(1) The CC-Link IE Controller Network is a system developed to improve the
MELSECNET/H network system (PLC-to-PLC network), allowing
communications of a larger data volume at a higher speed.
For details of the comparison between the CC-Link IE Controller Network
board and the MELSECNET/H board, refer to the following Appendix.
Appendix 4 Comparison with the MELSECNET/H Board
(2) CC-Link IE Controller Network boards, MELSECNET/H boards, and
MELSECNET/H modules cannot be mixed in the same network.
(Must be separated into different networks.)
