The Anybus interface will Integrate your serial RS-232/485 based industrial devices and equipment to Ethernet/IP 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. 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 include variable frequency drives, sensors, actuators, human machine interfaces, barcode readers, RFID readers and industrial scales among others.
