Connect any device, machine, and controller to any major fieldbus or Industrial Ethernet network. Embed a multi-network connectivity solution into your product or use a stand-alone gateway. Wired or wireless, Anybus products make connecting easier and more reliable.
Want to add a built-in communication interface into your device? Embedded an Anybus CompactCom network interface is fastest, easiest, and most reliable way to enable integrated connectivity from any device to any network. Plus, we’ll provide expert guidance to ensure the process goes smoothly.
Want to connect your machine or device to any network without changing your hardware or software? Anybus Gateways offer a plug-and-play solution that makes it easy to expand your market and increase security, whatever your application.
Whether you want to integrate a new machine, connect legacy equipment, or segment your network, our gateways provide quick, reliable solutions to factory floor connectivity challenges.
Connect to safety networks like PROFIsafe, CIP Safety, or FSoE with Ixxat Safety solutions. Based on proven and pre-certified technology, our solutions minimize your development risk, cost, and time to market.
In industrial environments, cables often have limitations. They can be damaged or impractical over long distances or in complex layouts. Anybus industrial wireless solutions provide products to connect serial, Ethernet, or CAN-based machines using Bluetooth, industrial Wi-Fi, or cellular technologies. Plus, we offer on-site expertise to ensure successful installation.
The INpact range of PC interfaces makes it easy to connect PC-based applications to all major Industrial Ethernet networks. By offering a protocol-independent platform, INpact simplifies integration and significantly reduces development time and costs. Suitable for use in gateways, HMIs, and data acquisition systems, it provides a flexible, future-ready solution for connecting industrial PCs and embedded systems across a wide range of applications.
The fastest and easiest way is to use a network gateway. This is a stand-alone protocol converter that "translates" signals between a device and a network. HMS offers network gateways for industrial use under the Anybus brand and for building automation under the Intesis brand.
If you want integrated network connectivity, the Anybus embedded products is a good choice. They integrate into an industrial device to provide high-speed, real-time communication to the major networks on the market — Fieldbus and Industrial Ethernet.
You can build a networking solution from scratch if you have in-house network expertise. This gives you control, but you must redo development and network certification for each network.
PROFINET and EtherNet/IP share first place in the network rankings with 18% market share, followed by the strong contender EtherCAT, now at 12%.
