Conformance Testing
Conformance testing through the CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA) ensures that devices meet the performance specifications in order to become CC-Link certified. To make it convenient for manufacturers from across the globe to have their products tested, four testing facilities have been established: one in the U.S., two in Japan, and one in Korea.
Interoperability
Interoperability is the ability of a network technology to assure that all of the devices/components of a system operate together. CC-Link technology is based on the use of an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) available from Mitsubishi Electric Automation. This ASIC handles the complete data link layer and transport layer for reliable communications and assures interoperability between devices. Freely available specifications define standard connectors, cable characteristics, LED status indicators, data transmission formats, and all required networking parameters. Published device-level interface profiles and electronic CC-Link System Profile (CSP) files assure interoperability at the application layer.
