HMS Anybus Communicator – Modbus RTU Server to Common Ethernet Item number ABC4092-A Protocol converters

The Anybus Communicator Modbus RTU Server to Common Ethernet enables you to connect any Modbus RTU control system to any EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, Modbus TCP, or PROFINET 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.

Features and benefits
Transfer up to 1500 bytes to and from the controller (PLC)
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 1500 bytes to and from Modbus RTU controller (PLC)
Transfer up to 1500 bytes in each direction (3000 bytes total) via RS232/RS485 interfaces with baud rates up to 128,000 bit/s. Modbus RTU Server (slave) supporting Modbus diagnostics and device identification.

Selectable Industrial Ethernet network
Cover multiple protocols with a single Communicator. Supports EtherNet/IPTM, EtherCAT, Modbus TCP, and PROFINET. Download firmware for your desired protocols from the product webpage and upload it via the Communicator’s interface.

Instant data transfer
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.
