The CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA) is the organisation of manufacturers of CC-Link compatible products and users of CC-Link technology and was formed in 2000. The CLPA oversees and manages the CC-Link specifications and promotes the worldwide adoption of CC-Link technology for network communications in industrial automation.
The installed base now exceeds eight million nodes with over a million sold annually, and CC-Link is the largest open network in Asia. The CC-Link Partner Association works with its members to promote their CC-Link compatible products throughout the world via its web sites, products catalogues, at trade fairs and will press activities.
Six regional offices and four European promotion partner offices promote CC-Link technology and provide a wide range of support services for CLPA members in their regions. CLPA has offices in Germany, UK, North America, Japan, China, South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore.
