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.

• Import EDS files

  Directly import EDS files in web user interface, eliminating the need to install third-party software.

• Cybersecurity

  Despite advanced security, human error often causes breaches. Our Communicator’s physical security switch can lock configurations and block web interface access, enhancing security.

• Optimized hardware design

  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.

• Diagnostics

  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.

• 5-year warranty

  Thanks to carefully selected industrial components the Communicator operates reliably in harsh environments, ensuring uptime and longevity. Our confidence in quality is reflected in a 5-year warranty.

• Life cycle management

  HMS maintains every part of the Communicator, including network updates, throughout the product’s lifecycle.
