Descripción
Integrate your serial RS-232/422/485 based industrial devices and equipment to a CANopen control system without the need for any changes to the device. Just connect, configure and you're done!
The Anybus Communicator is a proven and trusted protocol converter gateway that connects non-networked industrial devices and equipment to CANopen. The gateway performs an intelligent protocol conversion and presents the serial data to the Master PLC/Controller as easily processed I/O data.
The Communicator is slim stand-alone gateway designed for IP20 and DIN-rail mounting, requiring a 24-volt power supply. The Communicator is conformance tested to current CANopen specifications guaranteeing network compatibility.
Convert almost any type of serial protocol
The Communicator is capable of converting almost any type of serial protocol such as
Modbus RTU,
ASCII,
DF1 or any other type of proprietary
Query/Response or
Produce/Consume protocol.
Typical serial applications
Typical serial applications include variable frequency drives, sensors, actuators, human machine interfaces, barcode readers, RFID readers and industrial scales among others.
Serial protocol configuration features
No high level programming skills are needed to set up the Anybus® Communicator as configuration is accomplished using the included, easy to use Windows™ based ACM (Anybus Configuration Manager).
