Communicator

Control System (PLC) to Control System (PLC)

Need to connect PLCs running on different industrial networks?

The Anybus Communicator has your back! There’s an Anybus Com-

municator to transfer data over any combination of major industrial

networks. No special cables, software, or training is required.

Anybus Communicators are designed to ensure reliable, secure,

and high-speed data transfer between different industrial Ethernet

and Fieldbus networks. Very easy to install and deploy, the stand-

alone gateways enable transparent data exchange between PLCs

allowing you to both bridge and integrate legacy equipment into

modern high-performance

networks.

High performance

Instant data transfer of up to 1500 bytes

with hardware accelerated endian con-

version (byte swap) enables you to take

full advantage of high-speed industrial

networks.

Cybersecurity

Designed to keep you safe from cyberat-

tacks. Secure boot protects you against

malicious software and a security switch

adds physical protection to prevent un-

authorized configuration changes.

Durability

Built using carefully selected industrial

components and verified against indus-

try standards. Proven network confor-

mance thanks to the market-leading

NP40 network processor.

User-friendly

Fast installation and configuration are

guaranteed thanks to an intuitive web

user interface, ethernet configuration

cable, easy-to-understand documenta-

tion, and effective housing design.
