Case studies of CC-Link use
"Open" concept improves many automation applications.
Case 1
Semiconductor production line
You can reduce wiring and installation costs by using CC-Link. CC-Link simplifies the connection between equipment used in semiconductor manufacturing.
Case 2
Electronic device production line
Connection between various devices used for parts mounting, soldering, assembly, and inspection can be easily done by using CC-Link. System costs can be reduced and maintenance improved.
Case 3
Automatic Transfer System
In a system where long distances separate input/output devices, such as a sorting system using a transfer conveyer, the use of CC-Link allows cost reduction due to reduced wiring. By using aerial optical repeater units, you can also communicate between linear moving objects without cables, thus facilitating communication within automated warehouses.
Case 4
Food production line
With transmission speed of 10 Mbps, CC-Link can be applied to food manufacturing lines that require high-speed response. CC-Link compatible waterproof Remote I/O?fs handle commanding applications that require wash-down performance.
A wide variety of compact, inexpensive CC-Link compatible remote I/O contribute to cost reduction.
Case 5
Automobile production Line
With CC-Link, overall cable distance is 1.2km. With the use of repeater units, it can be extended to up to 4.3km even at 10 Mbps. Thus CC-Link can be applied to long lines. Robots, inverters, servo drives, and many other CC-Link compatible units can be applied to various lines such as coating, assembly, and welding. Using personal computers and HMI?fs connected to the CC-Link, programming and monitoring of the operation can be easily accomplished. Cost reduction can be achieved through reduced wiring.
