EtherCAT MainDevice – EtherNet/IP. With the new Anybus Communicator, connecting EtherCAT SubordinateDevices (slaves) to EtherNet/IP-based Control Systems (PLCs) has never been easier. The Communicator provides reliable and high-speed data transfer, making it perfect for applications that require large amounts of data to be transferred quickly. Thanks to its intuitive web interface and drag-and-drop functionality, configuring the Communicator is fast and straightforward. Furthermore, you have peace of mind knowing that the Communicator is built with proven and trusted Anybus technology. With the Anybus Communicator, you can connect your devices with confidence and get back to focusing on what matters most – your business. With the Anybus Communicator, you can quickly and effortlessly scan the EtherCAT network for devices directly from the web user interface. The Communicator automatically identifies each device and maps its data to the control system, eliminating the need to manually search for device description files (ESI) and import them. With the Anybus Communicator, scanning for EtherCAT devices is a simple and hassle-free process, allowing you to save time and focus on more important tasks.

• Instant data transfer - The time required for data is made up of the cycle time of the first network plus the cycle time of the second network. The internal data transfer in the communicator is negligible because it corresponds to the natural fluctuations of the network cycle times (jitter).

• Hardware-accelerated endian conversion (byte swap) - Communicators can change the data representation (endianness) using hardware-accelerated endian conversion to ensure that data is represented correctly in each PLC. You can even convert different parts of the data area in different ways to handle different types of data. This has no impact on performance, relieves the PLC of the data conversion task, and simplifies PLC programming.

• Dedicated Ethernet configuration port - no special cables required.

• Intuitive web-based drag-and-drop configuration interface - no need to install additional software.

• Scan for EtherCAT devices - automatically identifies each device and maps its data toward the control system.

• Front-facing connectors make it easy to connect cables, and the slim form factor saves space on the DIN rail.

• Troubleshoot with powerful diagnostics, including live data monitor, status screen, and support package.

• Secure boot functionality to detect firmware tampering and protect against malware attacks and infections.

• Security switch that locks your configuration and prevents any unauthorized access.

• The ports used in production have been disabled to prevent malware from being loaded via the ports.

• Robust, compact housing.

• Industrial components are CE and UL tested and certified.

• Wide temperature range, -25°C to 70°C.

• Top-hat rail mounting for installation close to the connected devices, reducing wiring effort.
