CC-Link IE TSN
Embedded Experts helps you to make your products CC-LINK IE-capable.
CC-Link IE was the first, and is still the only, open industrial Ethernet protocol with gigabyte speed and a high bandwidth for data-critical real-time applications. However, the advantages of gigabyte performance also apply to products and applications at lower levels.
CC-Link IE TSN builds on the advantages of CC-Link IE, by improving communication capabilities and the synchronization accuracy. The demand for TSN support will therefore continue to grow, as this technology enables the combination of various networks in the same main cable and the provision of real-time communication via time synchronization. This means that highly developed motion control is possible.
Please also refer to our TSN Acceleration Technology.
Our CC-Link IE TSN Remote Station SDK supports class A on Linux-based platforms and class B for selected architectures. The architecture of our SDK allows porting to the platform of your choice.
We will gladly support you during porting!

Significant properties of CC-Link IE TSN are:
- Cyclical communication in a CC-Link IE TSN network is implemented via hardware and software.
- Simultaneous communication with the standard Ethernet TCP/IP communication is possible.
- The master station can also be implemented on an IPC or personal computer.
- Thanks to TSN, the real-time application and conventional Ethernet protocols can be operated using the same cables.
