CC-Link IE is the Industrial Ethernet version of the CC-Link fieldbus, which is claimed to be unique in providing gigabit bandwidth so that large amounts of data can be transmitted very quickly. Both CC-Link IE and CC-Link have the combined support of over 300 different device manufacturers worldwide.
Both Balluff’s digital I/O blocks and IO-Link hubs are said to enable up to 16 standard sensors or other field devices to be connected into networks quickly, conveniently and reliably. The blocks are available with plastic or metal bodies, their fully encapsulated housing providing protection against impacts and corrosive liquids to IP67. They are designed for temperatures of up to 70°C and for use in harsh industrial environments.
