First results of the CLPA/PI initiative
The CLPA unveiled the first working coupler device that implements the CC-Link IE/PROFINET interoperability specification. This will enable easy transmission of information between the two protocols, leading to end users and machine builders benefiting from total transparency between CC-Link IE and PROFINET, the two most prevalent networking protocols in Asia and Europe respectively. Developed by CLPA and PI partner Hilscher, the unveiling of the device marked another milestone in the on-going cooperation between the two associations. The announcement of the first working coupler on the CLPA stand at SPS 2017 less than a year after the completion of the specification underlines the importance that the market ascribes to the cooperation between CLPA and PI.
