CC-Link is a widely used standard for industrial networks developed by the CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA). It is a proprietary network protocol used for communication between various industrial devices and systems. In the cable industry, CC-Link is often used in conjunction with machine control systems to ensure reliable and fast communication between different components. This includes robots, sensors, actuators, cameras, and other devices used in industrial applications. CC-Link enables these devices to exchange data in real-time, which is crucial for efficient control and monitoring of production processes.
