[Design Precautions]
WARNING
Configure safety circuits external to the programmable controller to ensure that the entire system
operates safely even when a fault occurs in a personal computer. Failure to do so may result in an
accident due to an incorrect output or malfunction.
(1) Emergency stop circuits, protection circuits, and protective interlock circuits for conflicting
operations (such as forward/reverse rotations or upper/lower limit positioning) must be
configured external to the programmable controller.
(2) The station to which the board is installed may be disconnected from the data link due to a data
link error. If this occurs, the data output from the station and written to other stations before the
error will be held until the station is reconnected to the network (until its data link is restarted).
Provide a mechanism for data link status monitoring and error handling for each station that is
connected to the data link system.
For the operating status of each station after a communication failure, refer to CC-Link IE Controller
Network Reference Manual for each network. Incorrect output or malfunction due to a
communication failure may result in an accident.
When changing data during operation, configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the
entire system will always operate safely. Configure an interlock circuit in the program, and determine
corrective actions to be taken between the external device and CPU module in case of a
communication failure.
Laser diodes are used in the optical transceivers of the CC-Link IE Controller Network. The laser
class (IEC 60825-1) of these laser diodes is Class 1. Do not look directly at laser light. Doing so may
harm your eyes.

OVERVIEW
(4) External power supply allows continuous network communication even
during power-off of personal computer. (Function of the CC-Link IE
Controller Network board with external power supply function)
Since power is supplied externally, the CC-Link IE Controller Network board with
external power supply function can continue network communication (baton passing)
even if a personal computer is powered off and data link cannot be performed.
Therefore, a normally operating station connected between other stations with poweroff computers will not be disconnected from the data link.
Another advantage is that the link scan time is stabilized since loopback can be also
prevented.
When CC-Link IE Controller Network boards without the external power supply function
are installed to station number 3 and 5, and if personal computers of these stations are

Multi-mode fiber (GI)QG series (Mitsubishi electric system & service Co., Ltd.)
(b) When connecting an optical fiber cable to the CC-Link IE Controller Network
board, the cable bend radius is restricted.
For details, check the specifications of the cable used.
(c) When laying the optical fiber cables, do not touch the fiber cores of the cable-side
and board-side connectors, and protect them from dirt and dust.
If oil from the hand, dirt or dust is attached to the core, it can increase
transmission loss, causing a problem in data link.
(d) When connecting or disconnecting an optical fiber cable, hold the connector part
of the cable.
(e) Make a full connection between the cable-side and board-side connectors until a
"click" can be heard.
(f) When installing the CC-Link IE Controller Network board to the personal
computer, secure a space of around 10 mm (0.39 in.) to the right and left of the
optical connector. Depending on the adjacent boards and installing slot position,
connecting/disconnecting the optical cable may be difficult. In this case, use the
following dedicated tool.

LB/LW settings can be divided into "LB/LW settings (1)" and "LB/LW settings (2)".
Normally, setting only "LB/LW settings (1)" is enough for LB/LW communication.
Set "LB/LW settings (2)" in the following cases:
• When extending each station's send range without changing existing
assignments
• When intentionally dividing each station's send range into two (e.g. within and
outside the link refresh range)
• If "LB/LW settings (2)" is used, link scan time will be longer compared to
using "LB/LW settings (1)" only.
• The LB/LW points for each station must be set to the maximum link points
or less which are total points of "LB/LW settings (1)" and "LB/LW settings
