Interface (Version 1)
The Mitsubishi CC-Link communication interface allows slave connection to an industrial Mitsubishi CC-
Link network. FEC has a partner license with Mitsubishi for the AFC1500 system for connection on the
CC-Link network. Mitsubishi CC-Link allows industrial devices to be controlled over an open network
architecture enabling device connection at various locations in the field. This “Fieldbus” technology
reduces hardwiring/cabling & provides ease of installation. It can interface to many devices such as limit
switches, sensors, directional valves, motor starters, bar code readers, process sensors, frequency
drives, etc. The network can have up to 64 stations. Maximum I/O data is 128 inputs & 128 outputs
(actual usable I/O is 112).
NOTE: The FEC CC-Link module is configured as a “
Remote Device Station” when setting up the
parameters in the PLC program.
