Anybus Communicator - Modbus TCP server - EtherCAT slave
Anybus Communicator Modbus TCP Server - EtherCAT slave is an industrial protocol gateway that allows you to seamlessly transfer data between PLC control systems via Modbus TCP and EtherCAT networks.
Anybus Communicator is designed to ensure reliable, secure and high-speed data transfer between different industrial Ethernet and fieldbus networks. The stand-alone gateway is easy to install and deploy, enabling transparent data exchange between PLCs, allowing you to bridge and integrate legacy devices into modern high-performance networks with no hardware and only minor software changes.
Anybus Communicator is built using the award-winning and proven Anybus NP40 industrial network processor, providing network consistency, high performance and reliability. Connecting PLCs on different networks enables extremely fast data cycling with up to 1500 bytes of data transfer in each direction, meeting most current control application requirements and supporting future needs.
Intuitive configurations, easy-to-understand documentation, and smart hardware and enclosure design ensure quick installation.
Description
I. Features and Benefits
Superior performance
- Real-time data transfer –The time required to transfer data between two PLCs consists of the cycle time on the first network plus the cycle time on the second network. The internal data transfer in the communicator is negligible because it corresponds to the natural variation of the network cycle time (jitter).
- Hardware-accelerated byte-order conversion (byte-switching)- CommunicatorYou can change the data representation (byte order) with hardware-accelerated byte order conversion to ensure that the data is presented correctly in each PLC. You can even convert different parts of the data area in different ways to handle different data types. It has no impact on performance, reduces the burden on the PLC for data conversion tasks, and simplifies PLC programming.
Easy to use
- Dedicated Ethernet configuration port - no special cables required.
- Intuitive web-based drag-and-drop configuration interface - no need to install any additional software.
- The forward-facing ports make connecting cables easy, and the slim form factor saves space on the DIN rail.
- Troubleshoot problems with powerful diagnostic features including real-time data monitors, status screens and support packages.
Latest Safety Features
- Secure boot feature detects firmware tampering and defends against malware attacks and infections.
- A security switch that locks your configuration and prevents any unauthorized access.
- The ports used in production have been disabled to prevent loading of malware through the ports.
Designed for industrial environments
