Anybus Communicator - EtherNet/IP

adapter - Modbus TCP server

The Anybus Communicator EtherNet/IP adapter – Modbus TCP server is an industrial protocol
gateway that allows you to seamlessly transfer data between PLC control systems over EtherNet/IP
and Modbus TCP networks.

Anybus Communicators are designed to ensure reliable, secure, and high-speed data transfer
between different industrial Ethernet and Fieldbus networks. Very easy to install and deploy, the
stand-alone gateways enable transparent data exchange between PLCs allowing you to both bridge
and integrate legacy equipment into modern high-performance networks with only minimal changes
to the software.

Anybus Communicators are built using the award-winning and proven Anybus NP40 industrial
network processor providing network conformance, high performance, and reliability. When
connecting between PLCs on different networks, extremely fast data cycling is enabled with data
transfer of up to 1500 bytes in each direction, meeting most current control application needs as well
as supporting future demands.

Quick installation is ensured thanks to the intuitive configuration, easy-to-understand documentation,

and smart hardware and housing design.

Excellent performance

Instant data transfer - The time required for data transfer between two PLCs is made up of the cycle time of the first network plus the
cycle time of the second network. The internal data transfer in the communicator is negligible because it corresponds to the natural
fluctuations of the network cycle times (jitter).
 Hardware-accelerated endian conversion (byte swap) - Communicators can change the data representation (endianness) using
hardware-accelerated endian conversion to ensure that data is represented correctly in each PLC. You can even convert different parts
of the data area in different ways to handle different types of data. This has no impact on performance, relieves the PLC of the data
conversion task, and simplifies PLC programming.

Easy startup
 Dedicated Ethernet configuration port - no special cables required.
