New Anybus-CC EtherNet/IP 2-port
Friday, April 16, 2010 HMS adds EtherNet/IP module with integrated 2-port switch added to the Anybus-CC option module family
Anybus CompactCom is a family of embedded interchangeable plug-in communication modules supporting fieldbus, industrial Ethernet, serial and wireless communication standards. The new EtherNet/IP module with integrated 2-port switch is the latest addition to the Anybus-CC module family.
The new 2-port version allows EtherNet/IP real-time communication with bus or ring topologies and eliminates the need for expensive external switches. The module provides an easy way for any kind of automation device to connect to Rockwell PLCs via EtherNet/IP.
In addition to the EtherNet/IP protocol, the module provides a full featured TCP/UDP-IP socket interface which can be used to implement specific application protocols.
The module also supports the DLR (Device Level Ring) network protocol. DLR technology adds device-level network resilience to optimize machine operation. When a DLR detects a break in the ring, it provides alternate routing of the data to help recover the network.
The new EtherNet/IP 2-port module is fully backwards compatible with the single port Anybus-CC EtherNet/IP (AB6214). It can be plugged into any automation device with an integrated Anybus-CC communication slot. Samples of the new 2-port module are available now. Series production will start in June 2010.
