CC-Link (Control and Communication Link) is a network used for connecting PLC systems and remote devices (e.g. Digital I/O, variable speed drives, etc.) on one cable. CC-Link gives fast, deterministic performance with communication speeds up to 10Mbps. Flexible network construction allows the user to place field devices where they are needed and CC-Link can be extended up to 1200 metres without repeaters. Standby master function allows other CC-Link PLC stations to take over network control if the master fails, giving greater redundancy and availability.
