A protocol converter that connects serial devices to PROFINET control systems
Item number ABC3013-A
The Anybus Communicator Serial Master to PROFINET IO-Device enables you to connect any RS-232/485 device or equipment to PROFINET control systems. Anybus Communicators ensure reliable, secure, and high-speed data transfers between different industrial networks. Thanks to our intuitive web-based user interface, they're also incredibly easy to use.
Convert RS-232/485 Request/Response or Produce/Consume protocol in just a few minutes. Use the drag-and-drop frame builder to build frames, insert/extract data, and handle complex variable frames.
Easily handles demanding applications thanks to support for up to 32 servers, 150 Modbus commands, a selectable 3 ms serial update rate, a graphical transaction builder, controller/PLC triggers and inter-node data exchange.
Transfer up to 1024 bytes in each direction (2048 total) via dual 10/100 Mbit full duplex RJ45 ports with an integrated switch for daisy-chaining. PROFINET IO-Device, 1 ms minimum cycle time, Conformance Class B, Netload Class III, and includes a GSD file.
The Communicator transfers data instantly between networks, with processing time so low you don’t even need to count it, as it’s in line with network jitter. Just add the cycle times of both networks to get the total transfer time.
With a graphical and responsive web interface, configuration is a breeze. In addition, there's no software to install and the dedicated Ethernet configuration port makes it easy to get started.
The user interface shows connection status, allowing you to analyze serial traffic and monitor data going through the gateway. Monitor and control nodes via the Live List and Data Exchange Control features. Our global support team is ready to help if needed.
Already using a Communicator Classic? Don’t worry, with legacy mode you can import your current serial configuration and continue using the same configuration in your controller/PLC.
Secure boot blocks malware, while a security switch locks configurations to prevent unauthorized changes. Network segmentation is inherent in the design, as each network is run separately, with only configured data transferred between networks.
The Gateway is made with industrial-grade components, verified to meet industry standards, and backed by a 5-year warranty. Its slim form factor, front-facing ports, and cable tie make DIN-rail installation easy.
In this video, we introduce the Anybus Communicator's web user interface. Watch to learn how to take usability to the next level!
Anybus' second-generation gateways offer world-leading usability thanks to the intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI). You can even try the user Interface before you buy!
