Overview

This specification document contains information about test items for the connectivity (conformance) of the

CC-Link IE Field network-compatible intelligent device station.

Conformance tests are classified into 2 groups: the tests conducted by device manufacturers and the tests

conducted by CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA). Test target modules need to pass (PASS) all the

conformance tests, which are described in this document, to be evaluated as a connectable module to the

CC-Link IE Field Network.

Fill in the result columns for each test item: When a module passes the test, the tester needs to fill in "PASS" to

the column, and if a module fails the test, the tester needs to fill in "FAIL" to the column. Enter “-“ in the column

when there is no corresponding function. Also, measurement value etc. should be entered, if necessary.

(1) Test configuration and precautions

• If not otherwise specified, the test should be conducted in the basic test configuration of Figure 1 and Figure 2.

• If not otherwise specified, cables (Type name/SC-E5EW-S□M: □ indicates a cable length in meters) with

Manufacturer: Mitsubishi Electric System & Service Co., Ltd. plugs should be used. The same cable needs to be

used for the test at CLPA.

• If not otherwise specified, Mitsubishi Electric-manufactured master/local modules and head units should be

used for the master station, the local station and the intelligent device station. Configurations of each station are

shown in Table 1.

2.6. Synchronization function


（31/33）

Test item 2-6. Synchronization function (1) Synchronization slave station

Test method

Confirm that the tested station receives MyStatus frames periodically sent by the synchronization master station and becomes synchronized. The cycle (T) of the MyStatus frames sent by the master station is 888 µs or 1 ms. Present the value prior to testing. The test period is 1,000 cycles.


Tested stationStation No. 1

Slave stationStation No. 2

Measuring device

Oscilloscope

Judgment criteria

Observe the synchronized output of the tested station using the oscilloscope. Verify that the cycle is T and that the amount of error is ±T or less. The tested station should have an external output based on timing generated by the synchronization function. The station should have a function that identifies the continuous timing by executing inversion at the time of each synchronization process, for example. This may be achieved using a jumper wire temporarily withdrawn from the interior.

Remarks The measuring device shall be a device capable of identifying MyStatus frames and measuring the periodic interval.

Classification 3. Aging test

Test item (1) Aging test

Test method

Conduct this test continuously for 12 hours. Confirm that the product operates without any problem during the 12-hour continuous execution of the test. Configuration needs to follow the basic test configuration. Set the RY/RX/RWw/RWr assignment of the cyclic transmission to the maximum points. The settings of each station is as follows:





(1) Cyclic communication function When the test target station supports the loop-back function in the link device: The master station should execute the loop-back verification of the cyclic data continuously to station No. 1 to 3 (including test target stations).

When the test target station does not support the loop-back function in the link device: The master station should execute the loop-back verification of the cyclic data continuously to station No. 1 and 3. It also should send/receive the cyclic data to/from the test target station continuously.

(2) Transient communication function When the target station supports the transient function for user application: Continuously execute the transient communication (Transient2) to the test target station from the master station.

When the target station does not support the transient function for user application: Continuously execute the transient communication (Transient2) to station No. 1 and 3 from the master station.

Judgment criteria

Confirm that the devices can operate continuously for 12 hours or more. (1) Able to execute the cyclic communication. (2) Able to execute the transient communication.
