This unit replaces the Anybus AB7832-F Communicator
The Anybus Communicator EtherNet/IP adapter – PROFIBUS DP device is an industrial protocol gateway that allows you to seamlessly transfer data between PLC control systems over EtherNet/IP and PROFIBUS 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.
Award-winning Anybus NP40 industrial network processor
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.
Product Information
Excellent performance
- Instant data transfer – The time it takes to transfer data between two PLCs consists of the cycle time on the first network plus the cycle time on the second network. Internal data transfer in the Communicators is negligible as it’s in line with the natural variation of the network cycle times (jitter).
- Hardware-accelerated endian conversion (byte swap) – The Communicators can change the data representation (endianness) through a hardware-accelerated endian conversion to ensure data is presented correctly in each PLC. You can even convert different parts of the data area in various ways to handle different data types. It has no impact on performance, offloads the PLC of the data conversion task, and simplifies PLC programming.
Easy to Use
- Dedicated ethernet configuration port – no special cables required.
- Intuitive web-based drag-and-drop configuration interface – no need to install any additional software.
- Forward-facing ports make it easy to connect cables and the slim form factor saves space on the DIN rail.
- Troubleshoot problems with powerful diagnostics including live data monitor, status screen, and support package.
Latest Security Features
- Secure boot functionality to detect tampering with firmware and resist attacks and infection from malware.
