Anybus Communicator - PROFIBUS

Integrate your serial RS-232/422/485 based industrial devices and equipment to a PROFIBUS control system without the need for any changes to the device. Just
connect, configure and you're done!

The Anybus Communicator is a proven and trusted protocol converter gateway that connects non-networked industrial devices and equipment to PROFIBUS. The
gateway performs an intelligent protocol conversion and presents the serial data to the Master PLC/Controller as easily processed I/O data.

The Communicator is slim stand-alone gateway designed for IP20 and DIN-rail mounting, requiring a 24-volt power supply. The Communicator is conformance tested
to current PROFIBUS specifications guaranteeing network compatibility.

CONVERT ALMOST ANY TYPE OF SERIAL PROTOCOL

The 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
Produce/Consume protocol.

TYPICAL SERIAL APPLICATIONS

Typical serial applications include variable frequency drives, sensors, actuators, human machine interfaces, barcode readers, RFID readers and industrial scales
among others.
