Anybus-M

High performance interchangeable Master/Scanner interfaces supporting Profibus, DeviceNet, AS-Interface and EtherNet/IP.


The Anybus-M Master modules are designed for integration into industrial automation devices that need to communicate with industrial field devices. Anybus-M modules have their own high performance microprocessor which handles the entire communication protocol independently of the application running in the automation device.

The network configuration can either be defined and loaded into the Anybus-M module with our NetTool configuration software or alternatively, the configuration can be loaded from the Software of the Automation device into the Anybus-M module. Typical applications are Controllers such as PLCs, CNCs, or Robots as well as intelligent visualization devices and operator panels.

All Anybus-M modules have the size of a credit card. The application interface is standardized in hardware, software and mechanics. This allows interchangeability between all other Anybus-M and Anybus-S modules. The application interface of the Anybus-M modules is based upon a Dual Port Ram (DPRAM). This guarantees high data throughput and short bus cycle times. Read More
