Anybus AB7078 Profinet-IRT Serial converter RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, Sub-D9 galvanic isolation, Ethernet 24 V DC 1 pc(s)

With AnyBus Communicator, you can integrate serial devices (RS-232/422/485) into a PROFINET IRT network. No changes to the serial device are necessary for this.

AnyBus Communicator is a tried and tested and reliable protocol converter that connects non-networked devices with PROFINET IRT. The Communicator performs intelligent protocol conversion and provides the serial data of the higher-level PLC as I/O data.

The Communicator is a compact stand-alone gateway for IP20 and DIN rail mounting that requires a 24-volt power supply. It meets the current PROFINET IRT specification and has been successfully tested for network compatibility.

CONVERTS ALMOST ANY SERIAL PROTOCOL
The Communicator can configure almost any serial protocol, such as master/slave protocols such as Modbus RTU, ASCII, DF1, as well as vendor-specific query/response or Produce/Resume protocols.
TYPICAL SERIAL APPLICATIONS
Typical serial applications include frequency converters, sensors, actuators, operator terminals, bar code readers, RFID readers or industrial scales.

Features and benefits
Makes serial devices network-capable: Machine builders / device manufacturers do not need a PROFINET IRT interface in their devices.
Enables system integrators to integrate older automation devices into PROFINET IRT networks (retrofitting)
No hardware or software changes are required on the serial device
Compatible with all PLCs that support PROFINET-IO
Complete conversion of the serial protocol, no additional PLC function blocks necessary
Because of the intelligent I/O data mapping in Communicator, devices with slow serial communication can also be integrated into the parent network
Cost-effective PROFINET IRT network connection for up to 31 nodes
E-mail client, FTP server and web server for diagnostic purposes
Qualified, personalized support
