Any node on RS-422 or RS-485 communication interface to fieldbus and industrial Ethernet networks. The Communicator performs as an intelligent converter between the the sub-network, including the Communicator, can spontaneously produce or consume a serial protocol and the chosen industrial network. The translation between the message. A node does not have to reply to a serial protocol and the network is configured by using the “ABC ConfigTool”. message, nor does it have to wait for a query to Once you have completed your configuration for one network, you are able to send one. reuse this configuration for all other supported industrial networks. Master Mode When the Communicator acts as master on the sub-network, it uses a scan-list for communication with the slaves. The scan-list is This is a very easy method for data exchange Easy translation of defined with the ABC ConfigTool. Master mode where the control system on the upper network is built on the request-response methodology, serial data to modern (fieldbus or Ethernet) simply reads and writes where the master sends requests and the slave data to pre-defined memory locations and the industrial networks responds. serial sub-network also uses the same local memory to read and write the data. The Anybus Communicator always acts as a The internal processing of the I/O data inside slave on the fieldbus or Ethernet network side. the Communicator, instead of in the PLC, simplifies the integration of serial devices into Data mapping modern industrial networks. All data from/to the serial sub-network is transferred over the fieldbus or Ethernet For the sub-network configuration, two different network as I/O data. During the translation operational modes are selectable: process from the fieldbus or Ethernet network into the serial sub-network and vice versa, the Generic Data Mode I/O data is temporarily stored in an internal This mode is based upon produce-consumer memory buffer inside the Communicator. In this example the Anybus Communicator connects the serial communication. There is no master-slave port of a micro drive to EtherNet/IP network telegram frame is constructed.
