CC-Link IE Field Basic

The CC-Link IE Field Basic is an application-level protocol used in industrial automation applications. This protocol uses standard Ethernet hardware and software to exchange I/O data, alarms, and diagnostics. It is Mitsubishi Electric’s publicly available, standardized communication format for communicating with iQ- Series, FX Series, iQ-R, iQ-F, Q, and L Series PLCs through Ethernet or serial connections. DataMan supports the CC-Link IE Field Basic on Ethernet only.

By default the DataMan has the CC-Link Protocol disabled. The protocol can be enabled in the Setup Tool, via DMCC, or by scanning a parameter code.

Note: If you have a wireless DataMan reader, read the section Industrial Protocols for the Wireless DataMan.

DMCC

The following commands can be used to enable or disable the CC-Link IE Field Basic. The commands can be issued via RS-232 or Telnet connection.

Note: Because you have to make changes to the Telnet client provided by Windows to communicate with DataMan, it is recommended you use third party clients such as PuTTY.
