Anybus Communicator Training

1 Day of Training

The Anybus Communicator is a gateway that connects automation devices via their serial interface to fieldbus and industrial Ethernet. It is optimized for automation devices with a Modbus – RTU interface, but has the flexibility to do so much more. IDX offers training for Anybus Communicators free of charge. 

The course focuses on setting up the sub-network side of the Anybus Communicator. The aim is to skill up users of the Anybus Communicator so that they can effectively use the it for their specific applications.

All scheduled courses are free and participants are encouraged to bring their equipment that they would like to familiarise themselves with. Participants will receive a certificate of attendance once the course has been completed.
