3.3.1 Function block diagram
This section explains the transfer of I/O data t o/from the servo amplifier in CC-Link, using f unction blocks.
(1) Between the master station and servo amplifier in t he CC-Link system, link refresh is normally performed at
intervals of 3.5 to 18ms (512 points). The link scan time of link refresh changes with the communication
speed. For details, refer to the CC-Link system mas ter/local unit user's manual.
(2) The I/O refresh and master station sequence program are ex ecuted asynchronously. Some programmable
controllers allow link scans to be synchronized with programmable controller scans.
(3) The FROM instruction from the buffer m emory of the CC-Link system master/local unit is use d to read data
from the servo amplifier, and the TO instruction is used to write data. Some programmable controllers allow
automatic refresh to be set to omit the FROM an d TO instructions.
