They incorporate the complete functionality of an industrial network interface with slave/adapter functionality including the physical connection, hardware interface and protocol functionality.

Technical Overview

Anybus CompactCom (Anybus-CC) modules provide instant connectivity to all leading fieldbus, industrial Ethernet protocols, serial, USB and wireless networks without the need for any hardware and software changes to your automation device. Anybus-CC is the latest range of communication interfaces from HMS Industrial Networks built on the proven Anybus technology with over 1,000,000 modules sold worldwide. With its innovative design and versatile functionality Anybus-CC provides optimal flexibility and fast time-to-market for automation device manufacturers.

Built on latest Anybus ASIC technology 
Developed in conjunction with and powered by the "Anybus NP30" network communication processor, Anybus-CC combines high performance and functionality with low power consumption. The high level of integration allows for a smaller size, and extremely competitive pricing.

Instant connectivity
Anybus-CC provides automation devices with an option interface allowing for instant connectivity to all leading industrial networks. Automation devices with an integrated Anybus-CC slot can use any Anybus-CC module. For example, you can simply exchange an Anybus-CC Profibus module with an Anybus-CC EtherNet/IP module and be instantly connected to that network without the need for hardware and software changes in your automation device.

Innovative design - with or without housing
Anybus-CC is supplied in two standard versions, one with housing and one without housing. The robust plastic housing completely covers the electronics and allows for easy handling at any time in the logistic chain between the manufacturer and end customer. 

Typical applications
Anybus-CC has been designed to fit into many types of industrial automation devices. HMI's, robot controllers, drives, micro PLC's, valve manifolds, instruments, weigh scales, temperature controllers, bar-code scanners, I/O blocks, welding controllers and RFID applications are just some of todays automation devices that are using Anybus-CC technology for their network option interface.

Enabling IP ratings up to IP67
Just as the standard CompactCom modules, the new M12 versions are available with and without housing. The M12 version without housing makes it possible to achieve a protection rating of IP67 (IP = Ingress Protection). This means that the product is completely sealed from dust and can resist water.

Anybus X-gateway - CANopen Master/Slave

HMS introduces a major enhancement to the X-gateway family, releasing 10 completely new designed CANopen Master (Manager) / Slave gateways in small slim-line housing.

Technical Overview

The new powerful CANopen X-gateways allow any CANopen enabled device with slave functionality to communicate with almost any other fieldbus or industrial Ethernet network. The CANopen gateway series includes versions for all popular fieldbusses such as Profibus, DeviceNet, Modbus, ControlNet and for industrial Ethernet with Profinet, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT and Modbus-TCP, including integrated 2-port switch technology.

Application Examples
Typical applications are CANopen based networks which need to be integrated into higher functional fieldbus or industrial Ethernet networks. X-gateway CANopen is tailor-made for usage in machines and systems in target markets include machine building, transportation, infrastructure, medical and all types of energy distribution and control applications including renewable energies. Typical applications include communication between e.g. Siemens, Rockwell, Schneider Electric, Beckhoff, ABB PLCs and CANopen- enabled drives, sensors, actuators, or measuring equipment.

Industrial networking made easy!
The X-gateway CANopen combines simplicity and usability with industrial robustness, making communication across different industrial network types easy and reliable. The gateways are easily integrated into any kind of industrial automation system, ensuring a seamless information flow between CANopen and 10 other fieldbus / Ethernet networks. The fact that Anybus X-gateways combine high reliability and flexibility make them indispensible connectivity tools for system integrators and plant operators within all industries.

CANopen Master configuration
The uplink fieldbus or Ethernet slave interface is configured with a standard device description file (GSD / EDS) and the standard engineering tool of the PLC. No programming is required. The gateways transmit I/O data completely transparent between the two networks - I/O data from the uplink fieldbus / Ethernet network is mapped into CANopen PDOs and vice versa.

For the configuration of the CANopen master interface, any standard CANopen configuration tool can be used. Anybus X-gateway CANopen is supplied with a CANopen configuration manager which is included in the price of the gateway and can be downloaded from the support pages of this website. The configuration manager will only work with HMS CANopen master gateways.

Anybus X-gateway - Modbus-TCP Master/Client

Connect Modbus TCP to nine different industrial networks. New design and a web-based configuration tool speeds up installation and gets you up and running in no time.

Technical Overview

Integrate your Modbus-TCP network to Fieldbus/Industrial Ethernet
With the powerful Modbus-TCP X-gateways, you can integrate a Modbus-TCP network to another controlling network — quickly and easily without the need for any programming.

Fast, powerful and cost saving
The X-gateway acts as translator between a Modbus-TCP network and another industrial network. The primary focus is the fast transfer of cyclic I/O data between Modbus-TCP and the other chosen network. With the Modbus-TCP Master/Client functionality, the X-gateway can eliminate the need for a Modbus-TCP PLC Client/Master on the Modbus-TCP side and thus help reduce infrastructure costs.

Typical applications
Typical applications are Schneider Electric, ABB PLC systems running Modbus-TCP which require integration into other PLC systems from other leading PLC vendors such as Rockwell, Siemens, Mitsubishi, Beckhoff etc. Modbus-TCP is often very popular within process automation, measurement and with sensor and actuators. It fits with all types of energy distribution and control applications including renewable energy.

All new enhanced design for streamlined connectivity
The new X-gateway design meets the industrial demands for functionality, robustness, size, durability and most importantly ease of use. It offers many benefits for the user such as easier cable connection and backplane stacking possibilities.

Handy SD memory card slot saves time and know how
The new X-gateway design includes an SD memory card slot for fast and easy backup, configuration and if necessary for an "easy module replacement" which saves crucial time and resources.

Easy visual web-based configuration
Configuration is handled through a web interface which is accessed by simply connecting the gateway to a computer via a regular Ethernet cable. No programming skills are required which means that the network and its devices will be up and running in no time.
