The CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA) is an organization of manufacturers of CC-Link and CC-Link IE compatible products and users of CC-Link and CC-Link IE technology. The CC-Link Partner Association is one of the world’s largest open industrial automation network associations. The CC-Link Partner Association operates globally to oversee, manage and maintain the specifications for the family of industrial open-technology automation networks – CC-Link and CC-Link IE. The CLPA promotes the activities of our members’ as well as the worldwide adoption of CC-Link (CC-Link IE) technology for network communications in industrial and process automation. The CLPA exists to support member companies, to provide technical assistance in developing CC-Link (CC-Link IE) compatible products, to conduct conformance testing, and to promote these compatible products to the marketplace.

The CC-Link family of industrial open-technology automation networks process information, control data, & diagnostics to provide efficient, integrated factory-wide industrial and process automation. These CC-Link networks deliver IIoT Ready high speed, deterministic communication seamlessly linking a wide assortment of automation devices over a single network. This ‘Family 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; and the most advanced Industrial Ethernet networks; CC-Link IE Field & Control. These Ethernet-based networks operate at 1Gbit, providing extremely fast and inherently deterministic IIoT Ready communication from the field/sensor/actuator level to the control level of a manufacturing operation.

The CC-Link family of industrial open-technology integrated automation networks include:

      •  IIoT Ready Industrial Ethernet network linking field level devices to controllers, as well as controllers to controllers at an ultra-fast 1Gbit speed. Delivering absolute deterministic communications all without the requirement of switches or detailed knowledge of Ethernet networking. CC-Link IE Field is IEC approved for safety communications and meets or exceeds industry safety network standards and can provide integrated motion control and/or energy management functions all on a single Industrial Ethernet network.
     •  Open-technology fieldbus network with performance up to 10 Mbps providing absolute deterministic behavior and cost effectiveness, flexibility and ease of use
     •  Open-technology fieldbus safety network that is IEC / ISO approved and meets or exceeds industry safety network standards. It provides cost effectiveness, flexibility and ease of use to automation safety networks, all while delivering full compatibility with the CC-Link network.

Why choose CC-Link? Primary reasons include CC-Link and CC-Link IE Field are high-performance, cost effective, flexible, as well as easy to install and use. These networks are globally accepted and CC-Link IE is an industry leader with IIoT Ready Gigabit Ethernet networking. Also; CC-Link is a market leader in Asia, the fastest growing market in the world. There are over 17 million installed nodes & over 1500 CC-Link compatible products on the market. Many American manufacturers are incorporating CC-Link compatibility because of its technological advantages, strength and market leadership in Asia

Are you ready for the IIoT Revolution – CC Link IE is!
