Integrate your serial RS-232/485 based industrial devices and equipment to PROFIBUS control systems without any changes to the device. Just connect, configure and you’re done.

The Anybus Communicator can transfer large amounts of data, is fast to configure thanks to its’ drag and drop web interface and is built on trusted Anybus technology.

CONVERT ALMOST ANY TYPE OF SERIAL PROTOCOL

The Communicator can convert both standard serial protocols such as Modbus RTU and proprietary serial request/response or produce/consume based protocols.

TYPICAL SERIAL APPLICATIONS

Typical serial applications include variable frequency drives, sensors, actuators, human machine interfaces, barcode readers, RFID readers and industrial scales among others.

Transfer up to 244 bytes of data
Demand for more data is constantly growing and the Communicator has been equipped to handle the challenge. It can transfer 244 bytes from the PLC to the Gateway and 244 bytes from the gateway to the PLC, 488 bytes in total. Support for up to 150 Modbus commands means even complex configurations with multiple nodes can be handled with ease.

Drag and drop web interface
To make sure you spend as little time as possible configuring the Communicator, we have built a graphical and responsive web-based user interface. No software needed to be installed, just open your favorite web browser and get started.
