CC-Link is a high speed, high performance industrial network technology that enables
devices from numerous manufacturers to communicate resulting in a fast, deterministic
control system. CC-Link is an open-architecture network that was originally developed by
Mitsubishi electric. CC-Link became an open-technology network in 2000 and is now
managed by the CC Link Partner Association (CLPA) with offices throughout the world. By
mid-2008 there were more than 3.5 million installed CC-Link nodes are user companies
could select from nearly 800 CC-Link compatible products manufactured by hundreds of
companies from around the globe. These products include industrial PCs, PLC's, robots,
servos, drives, valve manifolds, digital & analog I/O modules, temperature controllers, mass
flow controllers, bar code RFID readers, and many others.
CC-Link (Control & Communication Link) is an industrial field-level network that
processes both control and information data at high speed, to provide efficient, integrated
factory and process automation. It provides high speed, deterministic communication
linking a wide range of multi-vendor automation devices over a single cable. CC-Link is ideally
suited for machine, cell or process control in industries ranging from semiconductors to food
& beverage, automotive to pharmaceuticals, material handling to building automation.
