CC-Link is a family of industrial open technology automation networks that process control, information & diagnostics to provide efficient, integrated factory-wide industrial and process automation. The family provides IIoT Ready high speed, deterministic communication seamlessly linking a wide assortment of multi-vendor automation devices. The ‘Fam- ily of CC-Link Networks’ is ideally suited for machine automation, cell or process control in a wide variety of industries. The CC-Link family includes fieldbus and safety networks – CC-Link & CC-Link Safety; the general- purpose industrial Ethernet network – CC-Link IE Field Basic; the most advanced Industrial Ethernet networks – CC-Link IE Control & CC-Link IE Field – and the latest cutting-edge network CC-Link IE TSN.
The CC-Link family of industrial open-technology integrated automation networks are IIoT Ready:
CC-Link IE TSN – A next generation network based on the current CC-Link IE with the adoption of Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) technology. CC-Link IE TSN provides flexible IIoT system construction along with reduced downtime by using GP Ethernet diagnostic tools compliant with SNMP. CC-Link IE TSN can offer a best in class motion control operation with cycle times better than 31.25μs. For product developers, CC-Link IE TSN provides a diversification of development methods – both hardware and software.
CC-Link IE Field Basic – Software based, open-technology general-purpose Industrial Ethernet network. CC-Link IE Field Basic is a cyclic network that provides a cost effective and easy to use industrial Ethernet network for small-scale equipment not requiring high-speed control. CC-Link IE Field Basic is easy to use with a low cost software development cycle.
CC-Link IE Field – IIoT Ready 1 Gigabit Industrial Ethernet network linking field level devices to controllers. CC-Link IE Field provides the bandwidth necessary for all of your IIoT requirements while maintaining absolute deterministic communications. CC-Link IE Field provides a secure industrial Ethernet network via its token-based architecture. CC-Link IE Field is IEC approved for safety communications and can provide integrated motion control functions all on a single Industrial Ethernet network.
CC-Link – Open-technology fieldbus network providing complete deterministic behavior & cost effectiveness, flexibility and ease of use. Fully compatible CC-Link Safety is IEC/ISO approved for safety communications and meets or exceeds industry safety network standards.
Why choose CC-Link IE? Primary reason is that CC-Link IE TSN is the only released TSN compatible network on the market and that CC-Link IE Field is cost effective, flexible, high-performance as well as easy to install and use. CC-Link IE is an industry leader with Gigabit Ethernet networking. If that’s not enough; CC-Link is a market leader in Asia, the fastest growing market in the world. There are almost 24 million installed nodes & over 1800 CC-Link compatible products on the market. Many export oriented American manufacturers are incorporating CC-Link IE compatibility because of its strength and market leadership in Asia.
Are you ready for Industry 4.0 – CC Link IE is!
