Serial to Fieldbus and Industrial Ethernet Gateway family making it possible to network devices designed for serial communication. Ideal for factory upgrades and retrofits, industrial field installations and remote diagnostics and control. Anybus Communicator can connect almost any product with a serial RS-232/422/485 communication interface to Fieldbus and Industrial Ethernet networks. The Communicator performs an intelligent conversion between the serial protocol and the chosen industrial network. The translation between the serial protocol and the network is configured by using the software “ABC Config Tool”. Once you have completed your configuration for one network, you are able to re-use this configuration for all other supported Industrial Network. KEY FEATURES * RS232/422/485 selection possible with ABC Config Tool * Max 512 bytes of Input data & 512 bytes of Output data * Protocol modes: Master and Generic data modes * Built-in macro for Modbus RTU Master * Baudrate on the serial interface selectable between 9600 bit/s and 57.000 bit/s * Single drop using RS232/422 or Multi-drop up to 31 nodes using RS485 * Line Listener to analyze serial telegrams on the sub-network * Config Tool & Wizards for easy configuration & serial sub-network setup * Download/Upload function for storing and reusing your custom configuration * Password protection prevents unauthorized upload and download of configurations * Multi language support, now supporting English, German, Italian, French & Swedish
