In today’s world, where the industry is growing day by day and communication between devices and machines is mandatory, the collection, processing and analysis of data through information flow is only possible with industrial communication protocols. The Japan-based CLPA (CC-Link Partner Association) provides the necessary infrastructure for companies pursuing world-class smart manufacturing in line with Industry 4.0, with its technology that provides real-time control and data integrity, CC-Link IE TSN.

In the Industry 4.0 phase, where the human factor is reduced and the devices commonly used in automation, mechatronics and control systems communicate with each other or with computers, the communication is provided by industrial communication protocols. CC-Link IE TSN technology, developed by CLPA (CC-Link Partner Association) headquartered in Japan, comes into play at this point, providing fast and reliable communication in the application and production approach required by Industry 4.0. The world’s first industrial open network to use TSN-Time Sensitive Network technology, this technology improves end-to-end digital signal integrity.

It meets the expectations of Industry 4.0 with its 10 times faster speed

Declare that the collection, sharing and processing of big data is critical in the Industry 4.0 process, CLPA Turkey Manager Tolga Bizel “If we consider Industry 4.0 as a technological evolution process, industrial communication protocols that deliver information make the greatest contribution to the information society. Because with the new industrial age, there is a huge and uninterrupted flow of data in our lives. Companies use data both to build production lines that can meet personalized needs in the fastest and most efficient way, as well as to make a strong case for being part of the global competitive fabric. For this, it is crucial that the devices on the production line, including robots, communicate with each other in smart factories. CC-Link IE TSN was developed in this context and attracts attention because it is up to 10 times faster than industrial communication systems that can communicate at 100 megabits per second. With its speed, security and high bandwidth, Time Sensitive Network (TSN) technology contributes to the optimization and improvement of companies’ processes and to increasing their competitiveness.

Have the necessary features to adapt to new innovations

Tolga Bizel states that CC-Link IE TSN contributes to the realization of future-proof and competitive industries by supporting Industry 4.0 applications, and said the following about the benefits of technology: extended protocol. In addition, this technology has the necessary features for compatibility with new innovations that will bring great benefits such as 5G. When used with various technologies, it provides an efficient and reliable network to transmit real, high-quality information about the performance of physical and virtual machines, creating a highly accurate and responsive real-time digital twin. It ensures that information is sent without leaving the factory, with its high bandwidth maximizing both data security and communication speed. With all these features, it becomes significantly easier to meet the requirements of Industry 4.0 and the competitiveness of industrialists reaches a high level.”
