Case Studies

Berg Propulsion could connect a CAN-based propeller display to their control system for boats which uses Modbus-RTU. By using the Anybus Communicator CAN, the systems now communicate seamlessly. 

Anybus X-gateways connect DeviceNet-based robot cells to several other industrial networks. This is cheaper than using a robot cabinet with multiple networks installed and provides clear cuts between the robot cell and the factory network.

The Anybus Communicator CAN is used to enable communication between the CAN-bus in straddle carriers and a Modbus TCP-based monitoring system. Also, a programmable Communicator is used to connect GPS trackers (NMEA-based) to the CAN-bus of the straddle carriers. 

Anybus Wireless Bolt enables wireless PROFINET I/O communication over Bluetooth — between a rotating baking machine and the control cabinet.
