WHEN USING A HUB WITH CC-Link IE TSN The dedicated TSN hub is required when modules on CC-Link IE TSN are configured in a star topology or hubs are configured in a cascade connection. Read the following carefully. Page 30 Structure of Authentication Class B Devices and Ethernet Devices Page 40 Hub SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Read these precautions before using this product.)

[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 the external power supply or the programmable controller. 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.
Page 5
[Design Precautions] WARNING ● When connecting an external device with a CPU module or intelligent function module to modify data of a running programmable controller, configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the entire system will always operate safely. For other forms of control (such as program modification, parameter change, forced output, or operating status change) of a running programmable controller, read the relevant manuals carefully and ensure that the operation is safe before proceeding.
Page 6
[Design Precautions] CAUTION ● Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power cables. Keep a distance of 100 mm or more between them. Failure to do so may result in malfunction due to noise.
Page 7
[Installation Precautions] CAUTION ● Use the programmable controller in an environment that meets the general specifications in the Safety Guidelines included with the base unit. Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire, malfunction, or damage to or deterioration of the product. ●...
Page 8
[Wiring Precautions] CAUTION ● Individually ground the FG and LG terminals of the programmable controller with a ground resistance of 100 ohms or less. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or malfunction. ● Use applicable solderless terminals and tighten them within the specified torque range. If any spade solderless terminal is used, it may be disconnected when the terminal screw comes loose, resulting in failure.
Page 9
[Startup and Maintenance Precautions] WARNING ● Do not touch any terminal while power is on. Doing so will cause electric shock or malfunction. ● Correctly connect the battery connector. Do not charge, disassemble, heat, short-circuit, solder, or throw the battery into the fire. Also, do not expose it to liquid or strong shock. Doing so will cause the battery to produce heat, explode, ignite, or leak, resulting in injury and fire.
Page 10
[Startup and Maintenance Precautions] CAUTION ● Tighten the screws within the specified torque range. Undertightening can cause drop of the component or wire, short circuit, or malfunction. Overtightening can damage the screw and/or module, resulting in drop, short circuit, or malfunction. ●...
Page 11
[Operating Precautions] CAUTION ● When changing data and operating status, and modifying program of the running programmable controller from an external device such as a personal computer connected to an intelligent function module, read relevant manuals carefully and ensure the safety before operation. Incorrect change or modification may cause system malfunction, damage to the machines, or accidents.

Structure of Authentication Class B/A Devices and Ethernet Devices System configuration used when "Mixture of Authentication Class B/A or Authentication Class A Only" is selected from "Connection Device Information" under "Basic Settings" of the engineering tool. The modules on CC-Link IE TSN are an authentication Class B device, and the general-purpose hub is an authentication Class A device.
Page 36
■Coexistence of line and star topologies Line and star topology can be mixed. Connect slave stations of authentication Class B devices without using a general-purpose hub. Connect an Ethernet device at the end. When connecting an Ethernet device with a communication speed of 100Mbps to the Motion module, a general-purpose hub is required.
Precautions for System Configuration Devices connected to the same network Do not connect the devices as described below. Doing so may cause the disconnection of all stations. • The devices having network types other than CC-Link IE TSN and Ethernet (such as CC-Link IE Controller Network and CC-Link IE Field Network) are connected to the same network line.
Page 38
The actual network configuration and network map can be matched by executing the network map update of the CC-Link IE TSN/CC-Link IE Field diagnostics. ( MELSEC iQ-R Motion Module User's Manual (Network)) A data link error may momentarily occur in all the stations and outputs of the connected slave stations may turn off since all stations on the network will be reconnected when executing the network map update.
