Fieldbus parameters for CC Link IE

Field	Description	Default value
Fieldbus type	Type is selected from the drop-down menu. The following parameters depend on the selected type. CC Link IE	None
Update interval	How often a Process Data Frame is sent. The value is expressed in milliseconds. Minimum value is 100 ms.
Lock tool when fieldbus offline	Selection switch Off-On. Determines the action taken by the controller if the fieldbus module loses communication with the fieldbus master (SoftPLC).	Off
Read result handshake	Selection switch Off-On. When turned On, the setting will affect all virtual stations. The signal Read Result Handshake has to be mapped in the fieldbus configuration. Any results produced when there are no results to acknowledge will immediately be sent to the SoftPLC. Results to acknowledge will be put in a queue and when acknowledged it will be cleared and the next result in the queue is sent. The time between the cleared result and the next result in the queue is dependent on the cycle time for the fieldbus set in the general fieldbus settings. If the setting is changed, or if the fieldbus mapping for the virtual station is changed, the results still in the queue will be flushed and not sent to the SoftPLC.	Off
Set by network	Selection switch Off-On. Determines how the fieldbus module communication is configured. On: Communication parameters set automatically in the fieldbus module. Parameters are determined by the network during the initial connection with the far end station Off: Communication parameters must be entered during the configuration.	Off
Station number	Each device on the network must be assigned a unique Station Number.
Network number	The network can be segmented into several parts, each with a unique network number that is used for addressing.
To controller	Total receive Process Data Frame. The frame size is a combination of all the virtual station receive frames. The size is expressed in number of bytes.
From controller	Total transmit Process Data Frame. The frame size is a combination of all the virtual station transmit frames. The size is expressed in number of bytes.
