A protocol converter that connects PROFIBUS devices to EtherCAT PLCs
Item number AB7696-F
The Anybus X-gateway PROFIBUS Master to EtherCAT Slave enables you to connect any PROFIBUS device or equipment to EtherCAT control systems. It can be used when there is no existing PROFIBUS control system. Anybus gateways ensure reliable, secure, high-speed data transfers between different industrial networks while being easy to use.
Target new markets using different protocols without needing to change your hardware or software, thereby decreasing your time to market and development costs.
The gateway does not use a card slot in the control system, leaving room for other equipment.
The gateway is designed for IP20 and DIN-rail mounting, enabling you to install it with ease, close to connected devices, thereby reducing wiring requirements.
The gateway is designed to be robust and long-lasting. A 3-year guarantee is provided.
Quickly establish the connection between the two networks with the included Anybus Configuration Manager software. No programming skills are required for the setup process.
The gateway allows for fast transfer of cyclic I/O data between the two networks, offloading your PLC from working with additional calculations.
Anybus has a long history of working with all the major network organizations to ensure compliant, high-performing, and compatible products.
HMS maintains every part of the gateway, including network updates, throughout the product’s lifecycle.
