Anybus - the easiest and most flexible way to connect devices and systems to fieldbus, industrial Ethernet or wireless networks.

Anybus products contribute to increased productivity and improved quality in customer’s production lines. For an automation manufacturer, it is more cost-effective to let a specialized network interface card manufacturer, like HMS, take care of card development. Lead times can be cut, because HMS can quickly supply customized solutions thanks to its advanced level of expertise and specialization. One obstacle to communication within and between automation systems is the large number of industrial network protocols, i.e. languages. These are tending to increase rather than decrease, as no standard can satisfy all industries’ needs. There is also a vast regional variation concerning what protocol is used. A global vendor of automation devices must therefore have access to a wide range of communication solutions for industrial networks. Achieving this internally is costly. It is here that the size and experience of HMS creates unique possibilities for its customers and provides cost-effective access to a large number of different communication solutions.

Connect between almost any TWO industrial networks.

The Anybus X-gateway family is a product line consisting of over 180 different products aimed to connect almost every possible combination of two industrial networks. The product family supports 17 different fieldbus networks such as Profibus, DeviceNet, CANopen and CC-Link as well as many industrial Ethernet versions. The Anybus X-gateways are designed for use in industrial automation plants where increasingly many different industrial networks are used. The X-gateways help system integrators to easily interconnect between two networks enabling transparent information flow throughout the entire plant.

Serial to fieldbus and industrial Ethernet gateway family with an easy 6 step network setup.

Anybus Communicator can connect almost any product with a serial RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 communication interface to fieldbus and industrial Ethernet networks. The Communicator performs as an intelligent converter between the serial protocol and the chosen industrial network. The translation between the serial protocol and the network is configured by using the “ABC ConfigTool”. Once you have completed your configuration for one network, you are able to reuse this configuration for all other supported industrial networks.
