Anybus gateway range

HMS Networks has expanded its second generation Anybus® Communicator™ range of high-performance gateways, enabling more data to be transferred faster within industrial applications. Thirteen new versions that bridge EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, PROFIBUS, and PROFINET networks make it simple to connect control systems, remove islands of automation, and maximize opportunities to increase operational performance.

The award-winning Anybus NP40 industrial network processor powers the gateways, ensuring that the Communicators will match demanding requirements in terms of performance, reliability, and security.

The new hardware and software enable the gateways to transfer data instantly, up to 10 times faster than the current gateways. Users can also benefit from significantly increased data exchange support as the gateway transfers up to 1 500 bytes to and from the connected PLC. 

high-performance

High performance

Instant data transfer enables you to take full advantage of high-speed industrial networks. The hardware accelerated endian conversion (byte swap) saves processing time on the PLC. Transfer up to 1500 bytes in each direction.

Security

Cybersecurity

Designed to keep you safe from cyberattacks. Secure boot protects you against malicious software and a security switch adds physical protection to prevent unauthorized configuration changes. 

durability

Durability

Built using carefully selected industrial components and verified against industry standards, the Gateway can handle harsh industrial environments. Proven network conformance thanks to the market-leading NP40 network processor.

user-friendly

User-friendly

Fast installation and configuration are guaranteed thanks to an intuitive GUI, easy-to-understand documentation, and effective housing design. The GUI makes it simple to analyze live data, export log files, and generate support packages.
