Network interfaces for industrial communication

How integration works with Anybus' network interfaces

Integrating a ready-made network interface is the easiest way to make a device connect to multiple industrial networks. Anybus embedded network interfaces enable advanced industrial network connectivity for your devices in an easy way. HMS' 30 years of experience and 10 million delivered products ensure a smooth implementation process.

Kickstart your integration process!

HMS helps you kickstart the implementation of an Anybus CompactCom into your device by providing a variety of hardware and software tools for demonstration, evaluation, and application development. 

Start by downloading the Anybus Host Application Example Code (HAEC) to speed up the development process for any target application.

Note that the Anybus CompactCom needs to be ordered separately for both the Starter Kit and adapter boards.

Starter Kits and Adapter Boards

Choose your evaluation host platform

HMS offers a Starter Kit as well as a selection of adapter boards designed for testing and evaluating the Anybus CompactCom.

The Starter Kit allows both quick demonstration, in-depth evaluation capabilities, and enables a potential application to be designed and evaluated in a PC environment.

Alternatively, perform an in-depth assessment of communication speed and latency with the adapter boards - closer to reality

Anybus CompactCom Helps Increase Efficiency in Automated Container Ports

When BTG needed their IRM400 range of positioning measurement systems to send real-time data over different industrial networks, they called Anybus. And that was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Connectivity to PROFIBUS and Modbus-TCP with Anybus CompactCom

Prästjorden’s Water Station in Halmstad use pumps controlled by drives from CG Drives. These drives use Anybus CompactCom to communicate with both Modbus- TCP and PROFIBUS which are used in the water station.

Download the Host Application Example Code

Speed up the development process

HMS provides a free source-level Host Application Example Code (HAEC) in C language, complete with a driver that can serve as the foundation for your implementation. The driver separates the low-level host interface communication from the host application software and provides easy-to-use function calls for common Anybus-related tasks. The driver is fully OS-independent and can even be used without an operating system if required. 

The HAEC supports all major fieldbus and industrial Ethernet protocols, making it a great way to also quickly evaluate the Anybus CompactCom for your application. Moreover, the HAEC comes with pre-made ports for the Anybus CompactCom Starter Kit and adapter boards.
