CC-Link/LT offers high performance and reduced wiring
It is designed for implementation in sensors and actuators and other reduced I/O applications. It
simplifies and minimises wiring for field devices and within control panels. CC-Link/LT uses the
same open technology of CC-Link. It provides openness, high-speed operation and excellent
noise resistance.
Other benefits include
- Choice of devices from multi-vendors to improve the flexibility of system construction.
- Slave stations have no need for setting network transmission speed.
- Excellent noise immunity results.
- "One-touch" connector enables a fast reliable connection to the communication cable
- without the need for special tools.
- A specially-designed flat network cable carries both signal and power wiring, eliminating wiring errors, reducing installation time and wiring costs.
- CC-Link/LT devices can be treated as "local" I/O.
