Robots, drives, packaging machines, sensors, actuators, controllers – most modern industrial devices in a factory are connected. HMS products enable millions of devices to communicate on fieldbuses and industrial Ethernet as well as connect to software and systems for IoT.
Want to connect an older part of a processing plant to a newer system? Or embed network connectivity into an industrial device?
Anybus solutions from HMS Networks connect any device to any network in factory automation.
HMS can also help you with network diagnostics in factory automation — health checks, reports and best paths of repair for industrial networks – all to avoid costly downtime.
It includes permanent monitoring and troubleshooting solutions as well as services, training and tools for more robust infrastructure.
Access your equipment from anywhere at any time, ensuring seamless and secure industrial IoT.
Easily connect to any PLC within your factory and do remote troubleshooting and maintenance .
Or get instant access to machine data and insights enables efficient monitoring and problem detection.
Get rid of the cables! Connect machines and devices via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cellular wireless (3G/4G/5G) to create wireless bridges or access machine data.
Got 5G?
Want to evaluate 5G in your factory? HMS offers 5G routers and starter kits allowing you to implement and test 5G in your site.
Moving machinery in a factory needs to operate in a safe way to avoid harming people or equipment. But connecting to safety networks such as CIP Safety, PROFIsafe and FSoE is complex and time-consuming.
Ixxat Safe from HMS Networks offers the industry‘s most comprehensive product and service offerings for integrating safe IOs and communication solutions based on EN ISO 13849-1 and EN/IEC 62061.
CAN and CANopen are the communication backbone of many industrial machines. HMS Ixxat products enable CAN communication such as PC connectivity, CAN line extension, bridges, gateways and much more.
Communication is key for a well-functioning factory. PLC systems from an older part of the factory need to communicate with a newer part. Machines need to be accessed remotely, New machines need to be integrated. And the entire factory network needs to be monitored and failsafe. HMS offers communication for factory automation solutions to solve these issues.
According to HMS research, PROFINET and EtherNet/IP share first place when it comes to new installed nodes within Factory Automation, both with 18% market share followed by EtherCAT at 12%. Industrial wireless is also growing rapidly with 8% of the market, while fieldbuses like PROFIBUS and Modbus-RTU are declining. Due to the large installed base, there are still many Factory Automation machines using fieldbuses.
With Ewon Remote solutions from HMS Networks, it is possible to remotely access PLC-based machines to do troubleshooting and maintenance from anywhere. The remote solutions are secure and penetration-tested and enables quick access to machines with a laptop or tablet, just like being on site.
