Enable communication between industrial devices and Industrial Ethernet networks

Anybus CompactCom 40 Brick Mini – Common Ethernet

Item number AB6117-B

The Anybus CompactCom 40 Brick Mini Common Ethernet is a communication interface that can be embedded into any industrial device or machine to enable communication with PROFINET, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, Powerlink, or BACnet/IP networks. Soldered directly onto the host’s carrier board and delivered in a tape-and-reel format, it’s ideal for automated manufacturing and high-volume production.

Features and benefits

  • High performance

    Powered by the award-winning NP40 network processor, the Anybus CompactCom guarantees fast data transfer and low latency, making it ideal for the most demanding industrial applications.

  • Minimizes add-on component costs

    The soldered-on design eliminates the need for additional components like socket headers, reducing both component costs and manual manufacturing steps.

  • Size matters

    Measuring just 36,4 x 27 x ≤3mm, its compact format is ideal for small industrial devices. The rectangular shape is the preferred choice for device makers.

  • Optimized for automation

    Delivery on tape and reel facilitates automated assembly, ideal for high-volume device manufacturers.

  • Pre-certified

    Pre-certified for PROFINET, Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT, Modbus TCP, Powerlink, and BACnet/IP network compliance, enabling faster network certification.

  • Future proof performance

    Fully equipped for Ethernet networks, currently supporting Mb speeds (Gb available upon request), modern IT functions, Transparent Ethernet (RMII), and more. Continuously maintained to align with the latest network protocol specifications.

  • Black channel (Safety) interface

    The black channel interface enables device manufacturers to easily connect a safety module, such as the Ixxat T100, to the CompactCom. This feature provides a straightforward way to integrate safety functionality into your device.

  • Fully embedded – meet IP requirements

    The brick is fully embedded within your product, conserving valuable space, and allows you to use your own network connectors with IP class-certified protection if required.

  • Quick time to market

    HMS provides comprehensive support throughout the integration journey, ensuring a quick time to market.

  • Life cycle management

    HMS maintains every part of the Anybus CompactCom, including network firmware updates, throughout the product’s lifecycle.

  • Switch networks without changing hardware

    Simply download firmware for PROFINET, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, Powerlink, or BACnet/IP, ensuring adaptability to industrial network changes without altering hardware.
