Centered in Japan, the CLPA has established bases of operations in 8 regions around the world, including Asia. We lead the way in further opening up CC-Link industrial network to the world. To respond to recent needs for not only control but also total system optimization through equipment management and maintenance and data gathering functions, we have developed CC-Link IE, an Ethernet-based integrated network. From helping vendors develop compatible products to consultation concerning FA system construction for our users, we provide a wide range of support services. Taking CC-Link, begun in Japan and Asia and the first open field network in the world, CC-Link IE is an Ethernet-based integrated network that provides seamless data transfer from information systems to production floors, and is a next-generation platform for production facilities.
