Connect non-industrial devices with a CAN-based protocol to Modbus TCP
Integrate your CAN-based industrial devices and equipment to a Modbus TCP control system without the need for any changes to the device. Just connect, configure and you’re done!
The Anybus Communicator is a proven and trusted protocol converter gateway that connects non-industrial devices with a CAN-based protocol to Modbus TCP. The gateway performs intelligent protocol conversion and presents the CAN data to the PLC/Controller as easily processed I/O data.
The Anybus AB7319 Communicator
The Communicator is a slim stand-alone gateway designed for IP20 and DIN-rail mounting, requiring a 24-volt power supply. The Communicator is conformance tested to current Modbus TCP specifications guaranteeing network compatibility.
Typical CAN applications
Typical CAN applications include variable frequency drives, sensors, actuators, human-machine interfaces, bar code readers, RFID readers, and industrial scales among others.
