Modbus TCP/IP to CC-Link Local and Intelligent Station Gateway
5209-MNET-CCLINK
Product Description
The ProSoft Technology Modbus TCP/IP to CC-Link communication gateway allows Schneider Electric control platform users to integrate CC-Link Master compatible products with existing Modbus TCP/IP control networks.
The Modbus TCP/IP (MNET) driver can be used to interface many different protocols into the Schneider Electric Quantum family of processors as well other software solutions supporting the protocol. The MNET driver supports Client connections as well as Server connections.
The CC-Link protocol driver acts as a Local or Intelligent Station, which enables easy connection to the CC-Link Master-controlled network for data transfer. Configuration options allow the gateway to occupy up to four (4) stations on the CC-Link network. Transient Messaging capability increases overall I/O data transfer capacity by more than 8,000 words. When configured as a Local Station, the gateway allows read-only viewing of the entire CC-Link Master cyclic database from all configured slave on the CC-Link network.

Functional Specifications
Internal Database
The ProLinx module contains an internal database that consists of areas for application data, status information, and configuration information.
The internal database is shared between all ports on the module and is used as a conduit to pass information from a device on one network to one or more devices on another network.
Application Data Area
The data area is used to store and retrieve data by the protocol drivers and for data exchange between protocols. The database is used as a source for write commands to remote devices and holds data collected from the remote devices. Commands defined in the configuration file (stored in the configuration data area) control how the data is to be handled in the database.
Status Data Area
This area is used to store error codes, counters, and port status information for each port.
Configuration File
This file contains module configuration information such as port configuration, network information, and command configuration. This configuration file is downloaded to, or uploaded from, the module.
Modbus TCP/IP Protocol Specifications
The Ethernet driver interfaces with a common internal database in the module. This permits the sharing of data across many different protocols and networks.
Modbus TCP/IP Port Specifications
Server
The MNET module supports server functionality using the reserved Modbus TCP/IP service port 502, as well as service port 2000 to support the TCP/IP encapsulated Modbus protocol that is supported by several HMI manufacturers. Services supported in the module permit client applications (i.e., HMI software packages, Quantum processors, etc.) to read from and write to the module's database.
Data in the module's internal database is accessible for read and write operations by any node on the network supporting the MBAP (service port 502) or MNET (service ports 2000/2001) TCP/IP protocols.
There is no configuration of the MNET module required to implement Server functionality other than setting up the network and database parameters in the user configuration file.

CC-Link Protocol Specifications
CC-Link (Control & Communication Link) is an open-standard-based communication protocol that enables easy connection to Mitsubishi and other Master PLCs.
- CC-Link is one of the dominant protocols used in Asia and is rapidly gaining acceptance worldwide.
- The ProLinx CC-Link interface is a slave (Local Station or Intelligent Device), which can be connected to a CC-Link Master that controls data transfer.
- The gateway is a stand-alone, DIN-rail-mounted solution that provides one CC-Link network port with TE-CON7 4P connector and an Ethernet port with RJ45 connector
CC-Link Functional Specifications
CC-Link technology is based on an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) designed and provided by Mitsubishi Electric Automation. Each CC-Link station transfers 4 words and 32 bits of I/O data to and from the Master station. The CCLINK gateway can occupy up to 4 consecutive stations on the CC-Link network increasing it's I/O data transfer capacity.
