A protocol converter that connects EtherNet/IP and EtherCAT control systems
Item number ABC4012-A
The Anybus Communicator EtherNet/IP adapter to EtherCAT slave enables you to connect any EtherNet/IP control system to any EtherCAT control system. Anybus Communicators ensure reliable, secure, high-speed data transfers between different industrial networks. Thanks to our intuitive web-based user interface, they're also incredibly easy to use.
Use the intuitive web-based user interface to easily configure the Communicator via the drag-and-drop functionality or to analyze live data, export log files, and generate support packages.
The secure boot protects against malware, while a security switch locks configurations to prevent unauthorized changes. Ports used in production are disabled to add another layer of security.
Powered by the award-winning NP40 network processor and high-end components, the Communicator meets the constantly growing demand for more data to be transferred faster.
The Communicator has forward-facing ports and is designed for IP20 and DIN-rail mounting, enabling you to install it with ease, close to connected devices, thereby reducing wiring requirements.
Instant data transfer lets you take advantage of high-speed industrial networks, as the Communicator provides hardware-accelerated endian conversion (byte swap), saving processing time on the PLC.
The Communicator is made to be durable and have a long life. We’re so confident in its quality that we provide a 5-year warranty.
Thanks to carefully selected industrial components the Communicator operates reliably in harsh industrial environments ensuring uptime and a long life.
The user interface displays real-time connection status and I/O data mapping for easy troubleshooting. Easily generate a support file containing all the necessary information.
Pre-configure the Communicator and customize the hardware and user interface with your colors and logos.
