Integrate your serial RS-232/485 based industrial devices and equipment to EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP or PROFINET control systems without any changes to the device. Just connect, configure and you’re done.
The Anybus Communicator can transfer large amounts of data, is fast to configure thanks to its’ drag and drop web interface and is built on trusted Anybus technology.
CONVERT ALMOST ANY TYPE OF SERIAL PROTOCOL
The Communicator can convert both standard serial protocols such as Modbus RTU and proprietary serial request/response or produce/consume based protocols.
TYPICAL SERIAL APPLICATIONS
Typical serial applications include variable frequency drives, sensors, actuators, human machine interfaces, barcode readers, RFID readers and industrial scales among others.
Transfer up to 1 500 bytes of data in both directions
Selectable industrial ethernet network (EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP or PROFINET)
Web-based drag and drop configuration interface
·-25 to +70 °C industrial temperature range
Powered by award winning NP40 network processor
Security chip, security switch and secure boot
Transfer up to 1 500 bytes of data
Demand for more data is constantly growing and the Communicator has been equipped to handle the challenge. It can transfer up to 1 500 bytes from the PLC to the Gateway and 1 500 bytes from the gateway to the PLC, 3 000 bytes in total (network dependent). Support for up to 150 Modbus commands means even complex configurations with multiple nodes can be handled with ease.
