1.4. CC-Link Function of Hi5 Controller
The Hi5 controller is one of the CC-Link slave systems, which performs the I/O exchange with a CC-Link master in PLC or PC card form. In order to use the CC-Link function in the Hi5 controller, a BD570 CC-Link board or a BD58A LDIO board needs to be mounted.
The BD570 or BD58A board is available in different software versions, including the one exclusively for the CC-Link V1.0, CC-Link V2.0 or the one that supports both the CC-Link V1.0 and CC-Link V2.0 (Refer to [Table 1-2]).
If the software version of the BD570 or BD58A board is V2.01 or higher, it is required to set the version of the CC-Link of the teach pendant as V1.0 or V2.0. However, if the controller main software version is V31.10-00 or lower, the CC-Link version setting function will not be provided. In that case, the BD570 or BD58A board will run on the CC-Link V2.0. Refer to [1.5 Hi5 Controller CC-Link Version Selection]in order to use the CC-Link V1.0.
