The Anybus CompactCom offers a range of IT functions that optimize operations, enhance productivity, and improve overall efficiency in industrial automation processes.
Integrated web server
Enables service staff to monitor the status of the device from anywhere on the network.
E-mail notifications
Configure automatic email alerts for various events, such as service reminders or production milestones.
File Transfers
Allow your service staff or customers to update the CompactCom or the host device using the built-in file transfer functionality.
OPC UA and MQTT
Enable your product to communicate with IT-systems and industrial IoT applications using communication standards such as OPC UA and MQTFile Transfers: Allow your service staff or customers to update the CompactCom or the host device using the built-in file transfer functionality.
Real-time communication for time-critical applications
The Anybus CompactCom provides high performance data exchange that can handle even the most demanding synchronized motion applications.
- Handles large amounts of process data – up to 1500 bytes in each direction
- Low throughput latency, less than 15µs for high performance networks
- Possibility to send a complete Ethernet frame via the socket interface (up to 1500 bytes).
- Clock-synchronous operation
- Event-based interface method enables easy to access input and output data at any time.
- Extended Host interface coverage
- 8/16-bit parallel
- High speed SPI
- I/O (shift register interface)
Switch networks without changing hardware
The "Common Ethernet" variant of CompactCom comes without predefined network support. Instead, you or your customer can simply download and install firmware with support for PROFINET, EtherCAT, Modbus-TCP, POWERLINK, or EtherNet/IP. This provides you with greater flexibility as you don't need to know the required network before implementation, or you can adapt to any changes in the industrial network without changing the hardware.
Securely connect to IoT software with OPC UA or MQTT
The Anybus CompactCom IIoT Secure enables your industrial devices to communicate using OPC UA and MQTT. It exchanges industrial Ethernet protocol data (for example, PROFINET or EtherNet/IP) with the controller as usual but also uses the OPC UA or MQTT protocols to send data to IT systems. Companies can then analyze the data without needing to develop custom software.
