Anybus-S

The world's most used high performance Slave/Adapter interface range supporting 19 industrial networks with just one in-design.


Anybus-S modules are designed for integration into industrial devices that need to communicate with other automation equipment. The modules have their own high performance microprocessor which handles the entire communication protocol independently of the host application.

Typical applications for Anybus-S are frequency inverters, HMI and visualization devices, instruments, scales, robotics and intelligent measuring devices.

All Anybus-S modules have a standardized application interface supporting up to 512 bytes of cyclic I/O data and additional support for acyclic parameter data. This is more than required by standard fieldbus protocols such as Profibus-DP or DeviceNet and provides a reserve for future technologies and additional functionality in the field device.

The application interface is fully standardized regarding its mechanics, hardware and software features and thus all Anybus-S modules are easily interchangeable. Data and parameters which are not supported by all fieldbus systems are located in the fieldbus-specific part of the application interface. Read More
