1. Features

CC-Link is the abbreviation of Control & Communication Link.

The CC-Link system connects the robot controller and dispersed input/output modules

with dedicated cables, and controls these modules from the master station PLC.

The CC-Link system allows wiring to be reduced.

Master station

Station that controls entire CC-

Link system.

The PLC master module

corresponds to this.

Remote device station

Station controlled by master station

in CC-Link system.

The robot controller corresponds to

this.

Remote I/O station

Station controlled by master

station in CC-Link system.

CC-Link is a registered trademark of CC-Link partner association.

The CC-Link compatible module provided with a label is compatible with

CC-Link Ver 1.10.

[Wiring saving]

One dedicated cable (4-wire) is used to connect the robot controller and PLC. This allows

the entire system wiring to be reduced.

[Emulated serialization on parallel DIO]

By making the robot controller’s internal settings without using a robot program, the

various I/O devices, such as the sensors and relays mounted on the robot controller’s

parallel I/O can be controlled from the PLC as if they were CC-Link system I/O devices.

cCAUTION

An emergency stop terminal for

hardwire is provided in the SAFETY

connector on the robot controller.

When the CC-Link system is used

while STD. DIO is not used (external

DC 24V power supply is not used),

invalidate the external DC 24V

monitor control setting in SYSTEM >

PARAM mode. If it is left valid, the

STD. DIO interlock signal is made

valid causing an error in the robot

operation commands.

nNOTE

The dedicated input of the STD.DIO

connector provided on the controller

will be disabled except for an interlock

signal (DI 11). When the external 24V

monitor control of system parameters

is disabled, the interlock signal (DI 11)

will also be disabled.

2. Mechanism

The mechanism of communication is explained in this section to provide an understand-

ing of how the robot controller and PLC operate via the CC-Link system.

ON/OFF information

Master station

PLC

Robot

controller

qThe robot controller’s ON/OFF information is sent to the master station PLC via the

network (CC-Link system cable).

wThe master station PLC’s ON/OFF information is set to the robot controller via the

network (CC-Link system cable).

* The robot controller monitors the ON/OFF information at a 10ms cycle.

* The ON/OFF information consists of 16 points each of dedicated I/O points, 96 points

each of general-purpose I/O points as bit information, and two words each of dedi-

cated I/O words, 14 words each of general-purpose I/O words as word information.

If the following is executed with the robot program in the robot controller, the bit infor-

mation will be sent to the master station PLC via the CC-Link system by q.

SO (20) = 1

Conversely, if the following is executed with the robot program, the bit information re-

ceived from the master station PLC via the CC-Link system will be monitored by w, and

will wait for the ON information.

WAIT SI (20) = 1

If the following is executed with the robot program in the robot controller, the word

information will be sent to the master station PLC via the CC-Link system by q.

SOW (2) = 256

Conversely, if the following is executed with the robot program, the word information

received from the master station PLC via the CC-Link system will be substituted in inte-

ger variable A% by w.

A% = SIW (3)

Communication

1. State when robot controller power is turned ON

The CC-Link system specification robot controller always starts operation in servo OFF

state when the power turned ON.

qWhen connection to CC-Link system is correctly established.

The following conditions must be satisfied to correctly connect to the CC-Link sys-

tem:

• The CC-Link system cable must be physically connected

• The station No. and communication speed must be correctly set

• The master station PLC must be operating correctly

When the robot controller is correctly connected to the CC-Link system, the normal

state will be indicated with the LEDs on the CC-Link compatible module.

At this time, the emergency stop signal and interlock signal in the CC-Link system

will be valid, so these signals must be turned ON with the initial data process.

The emergency stop terminal in SAFETY connector is always kept valid. The inter-

lock signal in STD. DIO connector is also valid unless the external 24V monitor con-

trol setting in SYSTEM > PARAM mode is set invalid.

When SAFE mode is enabled, service mode input signal is made valid with SI (02) in

the CC-Link system. When the external 24V monitor control setting in SYSYEM

>PARAM mode is left valid while SAFE mode is enabled, service mode input signal

is also made valid with DI (02) in SAFETY connector.

wWhen connection to CC-Link system is incorrectly established

The following causes can be considered a correct connection with the CC-Link sys-

tem cannot be established:

• The CC-Link system cable is not physically connected

• The station No. or communication speed is set incorrectly

• The master station PLC is not operating correctly

When the robot controller is incorrectly connected to the CC-Link system, the error

state will be indicated with the LEDs on the CC-Link compatible module. Note that if

the master station PLC is not operating correctly, nothing will appear on the LEDs.

The emergency stop signal and interlock signal in the CC-Link system are invalid in

this case, so the robot controller can be operated independently. However, if the cor-

rect state has been established even once after the robot controller power was turned

ON, the robot controller’s emergency stop state cannot be canceled without correctly

connecting to the CC-Link system.

The emergency stop terminal in SAFETY connector is always kept valid. The inter-

lock signal in STD. DIO connector is also valid unless the external 24V monitor con-

trol setting in SYSTEM > PARAM mode is set invalid.

When the external 24V monitor control in SYSYEM >PARAM mode is left valid

while SAFE mode is enabled, service mode input signal is made valid with DI (02) in

SAFETY connector.

Service mode input signal in the CC-Link system cannot be invalidated when SAFE

mode is enabled, so change the service mode setting in SYSTEM > PARAM mode. In

this case, take full precautions to prevent improper settings that might lead to a haz-

ardous situation.

* For meanings of LED display, see Chapter 4 in this manual.

Communication

2. Initial process for connecting to CC-Link system

The initial data process must be carried out to correctly connect to the CC-Link system.

2.1 Initial data process

The initial data process is carried out to confirm that the robot controller is correctly

connected to the CC-Link system. Prepare the process on the master station PLC side so

that the following type of process is always carried out before data is exchanged.

Initial data process (master station PLC side)

qConfirm that RX(n+7)8 (initial data process request flag) is ON.

wTurn RYn0 (emergency stop input) and RYn9 (interlock input) ON.

eTurn RY(n+7)8 (initial data process completion flag) ON.

rConfirm that RX(n+7)8 (initial data process request flag) is OFF.

tConfirm that RX(n+7)B (remote station Ready) is ON.

RX (n+7) 8

off

RYn0

RYn9

RY (n+7) 8

RX (n+7) B

The robot controller internal process will automatically start when the power is

turned ON and the system is returned from an error state.

cCAUTION

• RX(n+7) B (remote station

Ready) must always be used on

the master station PLC side as the

flag to indicate whether the robot

controller is operating correctly.

• When starting up the system in

the emergency stop state using

RYn0 (emergency stop input),

carry out the initial data process

first, and then turn RYn0

(emergency stop input) OFF. The

robot controller will start up in

the servo OFF state when the

power is turned ON.

mal and substituted into variable A.

If SI2() is 7Fh, variable A will be 127.

When reading the word information from the master station PLC’s output device No.

with the robot controller, write the following command in the robot program.

Assignment statement

Example :To read the RWw (n+2) word data in variable B

B = SIW (2) ..........................* The SIW (2) data will be substituted into

variable B as a decimal. If SIW (2) is

01FFh, variable B will be 511.

Example :T

o read the RWw (n+2) and RWw (n+3) double word data into variable C

C = SID (2) ...........................* The SIW (2) and SIW (3) data will be sub-

stituted into variable C as a decimal. If SIW

(2) is 0010h and SIW (3) is 0001h, vari-

able C will be 65552.

nNOTE

[Details of sample]

• Pick & place work is carried out using the PLC and RCX40 + SXYx (3 axes),

RCX142+MXYx (3 axes).

• The workpieces supplied to each robot are arranged on one pallet.

• The workpiece is supplied at a rate faster than the robot operation.

• The two robots will interfere above the pallet, so data is exchanged to prevent interfer-

ence.

• When handling the workpiece, the robot moves at a low speed.

• The robot controller directly exchanges the pallet.

* Refer to the robot programming manual for details on the robot program language.

* The PLC circuit is a simple circuit that executes the selected robot program when

emergency stop is canceled.
