Anybus Communicators ensure reliable, secure, and high-speed data transfers. The intuitive user interface makes them incredibly easy to use.

Features and benefits

• High performance

  Powered by the award-winning NP40 network processor, it enables instant transfer of up to 1500 bytes (network dependent) between networks, totaling 3000 bytes.

• Instant data transfer

  Instant data transfer lets you take advantage of high-speed industrial networks.

• Endian conversion

  The Communicator provides hardware-accelerated endian conversion (byte swap), saving processing time on the PLC.

• Intuitive user interface

  Use the intuitive web-based user interface to easily configure the Communicator via the drag-and-drop functionality or to analyze live data and generate support packages.
