A new product catalogue detailing a vast array of CC-Link products from a host of different vendors is now available in both printed and electronic versions from the CLPA (CC-Link Partners Association). CC-Link is an open fieldbus for control and communications that allows devices from many suppliers to be directly integrated into a control system.
The catalogue will prove an invaluable resource for anyone building control networks around the CC-Link open fieldbus. It provides technical details and application suggestions for the various versions including CC-Link/LT (Lite), CC-Link Safety and CC-Link IE (Industrial Ethernet), as well as the standard offering.
The catalogue provides full information on CC-Link master products, slave products and peripheral devices. The range includes PLCs, I/O, HMIs, drives, sensors, process devices, indicators, solenoid valves, and many others, including gateway products to simplify integration into wider automation systems. All products are conformance tested to ensure complete compliance with CC-Link standards, allowing users to source best of breed products from different vendors with complete confidence.
Nodes of CC-Link sold per annum now exceed 1,000,000, and sales of CC-Link products are increasing dramatically across Europe, with the leading names in automation equipment embracing the technology. For anyone looking for a comprehensive, all-embracing, open networking standard, CC-Link ticks all the boxes by offering industrial Ethernet, fieldbus, safety-specific and bit-bus level options.
CLPA is an international organisation with over 1000 member companies. Their common goal is to further the development and dissemination of standardised CC-Link networks. CC-Link is the largest fieldbus protocol in the world, being dominant throughout the Asian economies and increasing popular in Europe and America.
