Monday, June 28, 2010 Via the Anybus Communicator, HMS now provides easy fieldbus and industrial Ethernet connectivity for industrial devices that have a Rockwell Automation/Allen Bradley "DF1"protocol interface.
Almost any DF1 supported device can now be connected to all major industrial networks and PLC systems.
The DF1 protocol support is provided through the free “ABC Config Tool” software used for configuring the serial sub-network of the Anybus Communicator. No programming skills are required and no changes are necessary at the field device.
The Anybus Communicator is a proven and trusted intelligent protocol converter that connects automation devices via their serial interface (RS-232/422/485). No expensive hardware changes or PLC function blocks are required.
The Communicator supports almost any serial protocol. In most cases the Communicator acts as a master on the serial sub-network. In master mode, the Communicator supports, Modbus-RTU, DF1, or Custom Response/Request protocols. Alternatively, in Generic Data Mode, ASCII based Produce/Consume protocols can be implemented.
Anybus Communicator gateways are tested and proven with all leading manufacturers of PLC's such as, Siemens, Allen Bradley, Schneider Electric, Mitsubishi, ABB, Omron, Hitachi, Beckhoff, Phoenix Contact, Bosch Rexroth and many more.
HMS will make the latest version of the "ABC Config Tool, Version 4.0.0.7" with DF1 protocol support, available for download from the support section of the website from 1st July 2010. Published by
