Connect a function block in a PLC and a .NET solution on a PC.

Anybus .NET Bridge – PROFIBUS to .NET Bridge

Item number AB9071-C

The Anybus PROFIBUS to .NET Bridge converts PROFIBUS to C#, enabling you to connect any PROFIBUS PLC control system with any .NET solution on a PC. The .NET Bridge uses simulators and code generators to simplify integration.

Features and benefits

  • Connect OT and IT

    The .NET Gateways enable PLC control systems to connect with .NET solutions, integrating OT and IT.

  • Code generator 

    The Anybus .NET Bridge Code Generator creates C# files for the .NET programmer and PLC files for the PLC programmer according to a defined spreadsheet.

  • Maximum Performance with Streamer Mode

    For applications requiring minimum delay and maximum performance, the .NET Bridge can be used in streamer mode, where data streams are exchanged directly without any handshake.

  • Simulators

    The configuration software includes two simulators — a PLC simulator for the .NET programmer and a .NET simulator for the PLC programmer.

  • 3-year warranty

    The .NET Bridges are designed to be robust and long-lasting. A 3-year guarantee is provided.

  • Easy-to-use interface for the PLC programmer 

    A function block, provided by Anybus, manages the handshake on the PLC side and provides an easy-to-use interface for the PLC programmer.

  • Large data communication

    Supports 65535 different message types, each with a unique ID. The max message size is 251 bytes. Messages are sent sequentially over the same IO data facilitating large data communication.

  • Automatic configuration setup

    If a bridge needs to be replaced, the .NET application will automatically set up the configuration.

  • Life cycle management  

    HMS maintains every part of the .NET Gateways, including network updates, throughout the product’s lifecycle.
