New safety fieldbus for CC-Link

摘要

A NEW SAFETY FIELDBUS is being launched by CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA) to enable secure communication of critical safety-related data over open networks, as used in industrial plant and machinery control. CC-Link Safety is a safety field network which will enable the communication of information relating to the operation of safety devices, such as emergency stops and light curtains, on production machinery. Based on CC-Link, it includes 'communication error detection' capabilities which instantly react to system malfunctions such as the field device failures and interruptions to communications.
