Anybus Communicator – Modbus RTU Server to Modbus TCP Client

Features and benefits

• Connect up to 64 Modbus TCP Servers

  With support for up to 64 connections, 1500 bytes per Server, 152 transactions, minimum cycle time down to 10 ms a wide range of applications can be handled with ease.

• Transfer 1500 bytes to and from Modbus RTU controller (PLC)

  Transfer up to 1500 bytes in each direction (3000 bytes total) via RS232/RS485 interfaces with baud rates up to 128,000 bit/s. Modbus RTU Server (slave) supporting Modbus diagnostics and device identification.

• Instant data transfer

  The Communicator transfers data instantly between networks, with processing time so low you don’t even need to count it, as it’s in line with network jitter. Just add the cycle times of both networks to get the total transfer time.

• Configure via web interface over Ethernet

  With a graphical and responsive web interface, configuration is a breeze. In addition, there’s no software to install and the dedicated Ethernet configuration port makes it easy to get started.

• Diagnostics and support

  The user interface shows connection status, allowing you to monitor data going through the gateway. Monitor and control servers via the Live List and Data Exchange Control features. Our global support team is ready to help if needed.

• Drop-in replacement

  Already using an X-gateway? Don’t worry, with legacy mode you can import your current Modbus Client configuration in the web-interface.

• Secure and segment networks

  Secure boot blocks malware, while a security switch locks configurations to prevent unauthorized changes. Network segmentation is inherent in the design, as each network is run separately, with only configured data transferred between networks.

• Built for factory floors

  The Gateway is made with industrial-grade components, verified to meet industry standards, and backed by a 5-year warranty. Its slim form factor, front-facing ports, and cable tie make DIN-rail installation easy.
