Anybus Communicator - Modbus TCP
server - EtherCAT slave
The Anybus Communicator Modbus TCP server – EtherCAT slave is an industrial protocol gateway
that allows you to seamlessly transfer data between PLC control systems over Modbus TCP and
EtherCAT networks.
Anybus Communicators are designed to ensure reliable, secure, and high-speed data transfer
between different industrial Ethernet and Fieldbus networks. Very easy to install and deploy, the
stand-alone gateways enable transparent data exchange between PLCs, allowing you to integrate
legacy equipment into modern, high-performance networks without any changes to the hardware
and only minimal changes to the software.
Anybus Communicators are built using the award-winning and proven Anybus NP40 industrial
network processor providing network conformance, high performance, and reliability. When
connecting between PLCs on different networks, extremely fast data cycling is enabled with data
transfer of up to 1500 bytes in each direction, meeting most current control application needs as
well as supporting future demands.
Quick installation is ensured thanks to the intuitive configuration, easy-to-understand
documentation, and smart hardware and housing design.
Instan data transfer - The time required for data transfer between two PLCs is made up of the cycle time of the first network plus the
cycle time of the second network. The internal data transfer in the communicator is negligible because it corresponds to the natural
fluctuations of the network cycle times (jitter).

Hardware-accelerated endian conversion (byte swap) - Communicators can change the data representation (endianness) using
hardware-accelerated endian conversion to ensure that data is represented correctly in each PLC. You can even convert different parts
of the data area in different ways to handle different types of data. This has no impact on performance, relieves the PLC of the data
conversion task, and simplifies PLC programming.

Dedicated Ethernet configuration port - no special cables required.

Intuitive web-based drag-and-drop configuration interface - no need to install additional software.

Front-facing connectors make it easy to connect cables, and the slim form factor saves space on the DIN rail.

Troubleshoot with powerful diagnostics, including live data monitor, status screen, and support package.

Secure boot functionality to detect firmware tampering and protect against malware attacks and infections.

Security switch that locks your configuration and prevents any unauthorized access.

The ports used in production have been disabled to prevent malware from being loaded via the ports.
