A protocol converter that connects Ethernet and PROFIBUS DP control systems
Item number ABC4091EX-A
The Anybus Communicator Ethernet to PROFIBUS DP device ATEX enables you to connect any Ethernet control system to any PROFIBUS DP control system. Anybus Communicators ensure reliable, secure, high-speed data transfers between different industrial networks. Thanks to our intuitive web-based user interface, they're also incredibly easy to use.
Transfer up to 1500 bytes (network dependent) in each direction (3000 bytes total) via dual 10/100 Mbit full duplex RJ45 ports with an integrated switch for daisy-chaining.
Transfer up to 244 bytes in each direction (488 bytes total). PROFIBUS DP device (slave) with automatic baud rate detection. Address setting via rotary switches or web interface. Includes a GSD file.
Cover multiple protocols with a single Communicator. Supports EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, Modbus TCP, and PROFINET. Download firmware for your desired protocols from the product webpage and upload it via the Communicator's interface.
Certified for ATEX Zone 2 and UL Hazardous Location Class 1 Division 2 for use in areas where explosive gas may exist.
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 monitor the data going through the gateway. Monitor and control offline behavior via the Status Byte and Clear Data features. Our global support team is ready to help if needed.
Already using an X-gateway? Don’t worry, with legacy mode you can 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!
