Main features and advantages:
Network topology flexibility
CC-TCF901 stands out for supporting multiple fiber network topologies. It can handle logically independent dual bus electrical interfaces, point-to-point networks, and dual optical port chain networks. This flexibility means that it can be customized for different application scenarios and needs. This module can be configured for both large industrial factories with complex network infrastructure and smaller facilities with simpler structures.
Redundant design improves reliability
CC-TCF901 adopts a dual optical port design, which realizes the redundancy function of dual fiber ring network. In the event of a fiber optic failure, the system can quickly rebuild the network link within just 10 milliseconds. This redundant design is a game changing factor for industries that require continuous operation, as it significantly improves the overall reliability and stability of the control system.
Multiple interface options
CC-TCF901 is equipped with multiple interface types, such as RJ-45 and FTE monitoring network interface, which simplifies the connection and communication process with other devices and systems. This compatibility allows seamless integration into existing industrial automation settings, reducing the need for complex and expensive custom interfaces.
High reliability in harsh environments
CC-TCF901 is designed to withstand harsh conditions in industrial environments and can operate within a temperature range of -40 ° C to+85 ° C. Its sturdy structure and design enable it to resist strong electromagnetic interference, ensuring reliable operation even in the presence of noisy electrical equipment. This high reliability is crucial for maintaining the integrity of control systems in harsh industrial environments.

CC-TCF901
Application areas:
In the energy sector, such as refineries and power plants, critical infrastructure control systems are the main targets of cyber attacks. CC-TCF901 is like a vigilant sentinel, protecting the communication channel between on-site equipment and the central control room. For example, in a refinery, it ensures the data flow security of thousands of sensors monitoring parameters such as temperature, pressure, and flow in pipelines and storage tanks. In this way, it can prevent unauthorized access and avoid operational interruptions that may lead to security incidents and significant economic losses.
The manufacturing industry is also highly dependent on CC-TCF901. In automobile manufacturing factories, complex robot systems and automated assembly lines are controlled by precise networks, and any security vulnerabilities can lead to production stagnation. This module ensures that digital commands sent to control robotic arms, conveyors, and other devices are protected. It filters out malicious traffic and only allows legitimate control signals to pass through, thus maintaining the smooth progress of the production process.
Pharmaceutical manufacturing is another field where CC-TCF901 plays an important role. Due to strict regulatory requirements for product quality and safety, the control systems of these facilities must not experience any interruptions. This module protects the communication between sensors and actuators in the cleanroom environment, ensuring precise control of temperature, humidity, and pressure. This not only helps prevent cyber threats, but also helps maintain the integrity of the drugs produced.
