CC-Link Overview CC-Link stands for Control & Communication Link, which is a field network system. It is possible to construct the systems of X-SEL, RCS-C, and E-Con with wire saving by connecting each of these controllers to this CC-Link. The X-SEL controller has two types of remote device station and remote I/O station. Each of the RCS-C and E-Con controllers is handled as a remote I/O station, which allows for communications of I/O data.
