*1
When the bridge module is reset with the remote resetting function, the CC-Link communication also stops.
(2) CC-Link functions
Function

Automatic return function
Automatic CC-Link startup
function
Slave station information saving
function
Temporary error invalid station
setting function

(3) Hardware functions
Function
Unit test function
Description
Checks for an network error from the engineering tool
connected to the master station using the CC-Link IE
Field Network diagnostic function.
Checks the error history of the bridge module from GX
Works2 connected to the master station using the CC-
Link IE Field Network diagnostic function.
*1
Resets the bridge module from the master station.
Description
Disconnects the CC-Link remote station where data link
cannot be performed due to power-off or other factors,
and continues data link in normal CC-Link remote
stations.
This function prevents the entire system from going
down caused by faulty one station.
Restarts data link when the CC-Link remote station
disconnected from data link due to power-off or other
factors returns to normal. This function shortens the
time to recover from an error.
Performs CC-Link data link simply by powering on the
module.
Saves the slave station information performing data link
by the automatic CC-Link startup.
Excludes the CC-Link where an error has occurred
during data link from being detected as a faulty station.
This function is used when the CC-Link remote station
is replaced during data link for maintenance or other
purposes.
Stops or restarts CC-Link data link using the remote
buffer memory. This function is used when data link is
stopped temporarily for maintenance or other purposes.
Checks whether a CC-Link dedicated cable is
connected correctly and the module is ready to perform
data link with the CC-Link remote station.
Description
Checks the hardware inside the bridge module.
