The number of devices communicating via CC-Link IE TSN and CC-Link IE open industrial Ethernet as well as CC-Link fieldbus increased by over 12% from March 2019 to March 2020, reaching nearly 30 million installed nodes worldwide. The CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA) attributes this success to the its technological expertise.
Over the past few years, the CLPA has witnessed average annual growth figures of well over 2 million new devices annually. With over 3.3 million devices installed globally between March 2019 and March 2020, the acceptance for the organization’s technologies is growing.

CC-Link IE TSN, which offers enhanced deterministic, real-time communications.This addition to the CLPA’s family of open automation networks is the first open industrial Ethernet technology to combine gigabit bandwidth with Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN).
To support its global growth, CLPA Europe and Americas are strengthening their collaboration they say. As a result of this closer collaboration, the two branches are now merging their Twitter and YouTube channels, in order to offer a unified brand with cohesive messages.
