FEATURES & BENEFITS
Transfer up to 1 500 bytes of data
Demand for more data is constantly growing and the Communicator has been equipped to handle the challenge. It can transfer up to 1 500
bytes from the PLC to the Gateway and 1 500 bytes from the gateway to the PLC, 3 000 bytes in total (network dependent). 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.
Industrial temperature range
An industrial operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C ensures the Communicator can excel under harsh conditions.
Powered by proven NP40 technology
The Communicator is built on the award-winning and proven Anybus NP40 network processor. With hundreds of thousands NP40:s used in
Embedded applications across the world, it is the industry benchmark for reliable industrial communication.
Security switch
Even with sophisticated security measures, human error is still the main cause of security breaches. To simplify security, we added a physical
security switch on the Communicator. It locks your configuration and prevents any access to the web-based configuration interface. Just flip
it when your configuration is done and watch the padlock LED on the product light up.

Modbus RTU Master - Industrial Ethernet
Integrate your serial RS-232/485 based industrial devices and equipment to EtherNet/IP, Modbus
TCP or PROFINET 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.
