Anybus Communicator - PROFINET
Integration of RS-232/422/485 based serial industrial devices and equipment into the PROFINET control system without any changes to the devices. Simply connect and configure!
Anybus Communicator is a proven and trusted protocol converter gateway that connects non-connected industrial equipment and devices to PROFINET. The gateway performs intelligent protocol conversion and presents the serial data to the host PLC/controller as easy to process I/O data.
The Communicator is a slim standalone gateway designed for IP20 and DIN rail mounting and requires 24 Volt power.The Communicator has been tested for conformance to current PROFINET specifications to ensure network compatibility.
Convert almost any type of serial protocols
Communicator is capable of converting almost any type of serial protocol, such as Modbus RTU, ASCII, DF1 or any other type of proprietary query/response or production/consumption protocol.
Typical Serial Applications
Typical serial applications include inverter drives, sensors, actuators, human-machine interfaces, barcode readers, RFID readers and industrial scales.
Description
I. Features and Benefits
- Convert virtually any RS-232/422/485 request/response or production/consumer protocol - e.g. Modbus RTU, ASCII, DF1 - in minutes.
- Pre-defined for Modbus RTU. Avoid the hassle of writing scripts and building serial Modbus frameworks with the 6-step Modbus RTU wizard.
- No hardware or software changes required for connected automation equipment
- PLC compatible with leading manufacturers such as Siemens, Rockwell, Schneider Electric, etc.
- Protocol switching is done by a manual operator, no PLC function block is required.
- Convenient save/load functionality means that completed configurations can be reused for many other installations.
- Includes “Anybus Configuration Manager” with flexible serial frame building capabilities.”
- Versions with dual-port switched Ethernet allow daisy-chaining and eliminate the need for external switches.
- Free worldwide technical support and consultation
II. Serial Protocol Configuration Features
No advanced programming skills are required to set up Anybus® Communicator, as configuration is accomplished using the included, easy-to-use, Windows™-based ACM (Anybus Configuration Manager).
- Optional RS-232/422/485 interface
- Predefined 6-step Modbus-RTU configuration wizard
- Optional pre-loading of DF1 commands. No scripting or serial frame construction required!
