2. Overview of the ARIO-C-CL
2.1. CC-Link Protocol

CC-Link, one of the Fieldbus networks, is an industrial network composed of a topology of RS-485.
It supports the transmission distance of up to 100 meters at a transmission rate of 10 Mbps as well as
up to 64 stations with a high speed and deterministic data communication. The link scan time
supported by CC-Link can process the input signals of sensors that require a high-speed response or for
intelligent devices that require a large capacity of data communication. The data link system also
supports reducing wiring and costs for building a distributed system.
The ARIO-C-CL supports the CC-Link protocol. This coupler composes the physical structure of
connected modules and devices and creates input and output process images linked with the data of
CC-Link. The process images make it possible to experience a flexible installation environment, such as
the mixed arrangement of analog and digital modules.

4. Process Images
4.1. Memory Map

The ARIO unit composes the memory map in its memory space to assign and manage the data
collected by the coupler and modules. The master in the field network controls the input and output
devices via this memory map generated by the ARIO unit.
The memory map is created based on the arrangement and data structure of the ARIO unit as shown in
the figure below. The memory map of modules consists of each module and contains its data.
The memory map of the coupler allocates the data considering the type (input or output) and
sequence of connected modules (e.g., the slot number of each module), and data size to the read and
write areas, making it easy to calculate the location of the master’s register. In this way, the memory
map comprised by the ARIO unit creates the input and output process images for data exchange.
• READ area
It is the area that transmits the data collected by the unit to the master in the field network.
It contains the input and diagnostic data.
• WRITE area
It is the area that transmits the output commands from the master of the field network.
It contains the output data.
4.1. Memory Map 29

4.2. Data Processing in the Module
The data of the module is processed depending on the input and output signals.
• Digital modules
The bit-oriented digital module indicates the value of the corresponding bit position as 1.
The size of each channel is 1 bit and is grouped into bytes.
• Analog modules
The byte-oriented analog module indicates the value of the input or output signal to the
corresponding bytes. The size of each channel is grouped into words.
Module Example of input/output format Data processing size
Digital input/output 2 channels/module (2-CH/module) 1-byte

: Bit-oriented 4 channels/module (4-CH/module) 1-byte
8 channels/module (8-CH/module) 1-byte
16 channels/module (16-CH/module) 2-byte (= 1-word)
Analog input/output 8-bit/channel (8-bit/CH) 1-byte

• Binary 0000 0011 (0x03)
2. The value of a voltage of 10.000 V applied to channel 1 of the analog input module
• Big endian: 0x270D (≈ 10,000DEC)
The data arrangements (the order or sequence) of the analog signal can be
expressed as big-endian or little-endian in the DAQMaster.
To select the endianness, go to Comm Mode » Property tab of the coupler »

4.2. Data Processing in the Module 31

4.3. Example of the Process Image
You can check the input and output process images of the unit (coupler + modules) on the AddressMap
menu in the DAQMaster. Firstly, the input modules are mapped, and then the output modules are
mapped. The first position of the input process image contains diagnostic information of the coupler
with a size of 16 bits (1 word).
The process image of the CC-Link protocol is composed of information in 16 bits units through the
Remote registers (RWr and RWw). The coupler does not use the information in bit units such as Remote
input and output (RX and RY) for the data exchange.
