Anybus ABC3061 ABC3061 Serial converter RS-485, RS-232, Modbus-RTU, EtherCat I/O number: 5 24 V DC/AC 1 pc(s)

Anybus Communicator lets you integrate serial devices (RS-232/485) into an EtherCAT network. This requires no changes to the serial device.The protocol converter can transfer large amounts of data, is easy to configure thanks to its drag & drop web interface and is based on the proven Anybus technology. Converts almost any serial protocolThe Communicator can convert almost any serial protocol, e.g. master/slave protocols such as Modbus RTU, but also manufacturer-specific query/response or produce/consumption protocols.Typical serial applicationsTypical serial applications include frequency converters, sensors, actuators, operating terminals, bar code readers, RFID-reader or industrial scales.Transfer of up to 1,486 data bytesThe trend is to transfer more and more data. That's why Anybus Communicator is designed to transfer large amounts of data. It can send 1,486 bytes of data to the higher-level PLC and receive 1,486 bytes of data from the PLC, which means that a total of 2,972 bytes can be transferred. With support of up to 150 Modbus commands, even complex configurations with several nodes can be processed without any problem.Drag and drop web interfaceThe configuration of the protocol converter is done quickly with the graphical web-based user interface. There is no need to install any software. Simply open your preferred web browser and start.Industrial temperature rangeAn industrial operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C ensures that the Communicator convinces even under demanding conditions.Proven NP40 technologyThe Communicator is based on the proven Anybus NP40 network processor. The NP40 is used in countless embedded applications around the world and is the industry benchmark for reliable industrial communication.Safety switchEven with sophisticated security measures, human error remains the main cause of breaches of security regulations. Therefore, the Communicator has a safety switch that locks configuration and prevents access to the web-based configuration interface. Once your configuration is complete, simply slide the safety switch into the lock position. The padlock LED on the Communicator then lights up. Ethernet configuration portThanks to the Ethernet configuration connection no special configuration cable is needed. The connection to the protocol converter can also be easily established, for example to monitor network traffic.Optimised for DIN rail mountingThe narrow form factor, front-facing network connections and the serial cable connection ensure that the Communicator can be installed and connected quickly and easily.diagnosticsWhen you open the Communicator web interface, you immediately see the status of the connection to the parent industrial network and the serial connection. You can also see the status of individual serial nodes. For analysis purposes, the serial page and events are logged.SupportSometimes you encounter a problem where you need help. That's why we've included a support page with contact information in the user interface. There is also a button to create a support package to simplify troubleshooting.
