Three ways to minimize your time-to-market with CC-Link
CC-Link already has over 250 companies making more than 1,100 devices, to give a global installed base of almost 9 million devices. In Asia, it’s considered a de-facto standard in many industries, such as automotive and flat panel displays.
To help new companies get on board and keep this momentum going, the CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA) offers a range of starter kits that help you get up and running quickly when developing devices for the network.
The kits help you go from basic evaluation of the network to developing more complex devices that communicate data with a master controller. All kits include the necessary basic components to do the required development.
Some of CC-Link’s key strengths are its ruggedness and interoperability. These are maintained by an emphasis on thorough conformance testing. This testing is included in the relevant starter kits.
Get started today - contact the CLPA at starterkits@clpa-europe. com to place your order. Combine your starter kit with the CLPA’s “Gateway to China” programme and start taking advantage of the new markets CC-Link can open for your business!
