Weidmüller has announced that it has received CLPA certification for its modular I/O system "u-remote". This also makes it the first modular I/O system with official CC-Link IE safety certification for CC-Link IE TSN. The interface opens up new possibilities for machine builders and automation engineers to integrate systems into networks with the CC-Link IE TSN standard, according to the explanation of the idea behind it. CC-Link-IE-TSN is, as Weidmüller explains, an open fieldbus system that is based on Gigabit Ethernet technology and meets the requirements of modern industrial communication. With support for Time Sensitive Networking (TSN), it enables deterministic, i.e. predetermined, data transmission and promotes the convergence of different networks within a system.

State-of-the-Art Safety Requirements Are Met

The integration of CC-Link-IE-TSN technology in Weidmüller's "u-remote" makes it easy to create modular, finely granular system architectures. Users benefit from the flexible integration of distributed I/O modules into existing automation networks without having to compromise on performance or safety. According to Weidmüller, another advantage is the use for functionally safe applications. If, for example, a light barrier is interrupted, "u-remote" transmits the signal directly to the safety controller via a so-called "black channel", according to the explanation. This reacts immediately—for example by stopping a process or initiating defined protective measures. The system therefore fulfills the central safety requirements of modern machine guidelines and safety standards.

Increased Planning Security for Export Projects

The certified communication technology therefore guarantees the safety-compliant operation of systems. The modular I/O architecture allows the construction of complex systems, which facilitates the commissioning and maintenance of such machinery. Thanks to the international distribution of CC-Link, Weidmüller now also offers machine builders increased planning security for export projects. According to Weidmüller, the CC-Link IE safety certification strengthens the global connectivity of its "u-remote" I/O system. The company is thus supporting users who rely on integrated, convergent communication solutions and want to design their automation systems to be future-proof and based on the latest technical possibilities.
