CC-Link IE - Gigabit Industrial Ethernet

A new integrated Ethernet network

Open-technology, CC-Link IE brings vast new possibilities to the world of automation.

To meet the changing demands for optimized control, openness, reliable, and deterministic handling of data on industrial communication networks, the CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA) announces this 1-Gigabit Ethernet-based integrated network.  CC-Link IE enables seamless data communication from the plant-level enterprise network to the production floor network. This integrated industrial network philosophy also provides cost reduction for the total system engineering task from system start-up, operation, and maintenance

High speed, deterministic Ethernet networking.

The first open standard 1Gbps manufacturing network to be released globally.

• That's the CC-Link IE Controller Network.  In addition to control data transmission, it enables information processing for maintenance and diagnostics to provide improved collaboration and productivity.

• High-speed 1Gbps data transmission uses widely-available, standard fiber optic cable and connectors.

• Determinism over Ethernet is ensured through the use of network common memory and does not require the use of additional hubs or switches.

• Seamless communication is enabled from the enterprise network layer to the controller network layer to the field network layer.

• Because CC-Link IE is an open-technology network, the global CLPA organization supports and assists partner companies in the development of their CC-Link IE compatible products. This allows the end-user to choose from a variety of value-added products for their automation systems.
