C.I.A Robotics: Connectivity between Profibus, DeviceNet and several other networks with Anybus X-gateway

"Very often, we have to interface different kinds of devices in our automatic systems that use different communication protocols. For example, we typically use robots with DeviceNet interface and PLCs with Profibus interface. This need for flexibility in diverse design conditions led us to try HMS products, which we appreciated immediately because they are particularly comprehensive and can be used to interface different kinds of machines, even pre-existing machinery” says Angelo Galimberti, Director of C.I.A. Automation and Robotics.

Selection criteria for choosing HMS centered around the functionality and flexibility of the devices in particular, but the performance/price ratio was also part of the equation. The technical and economic features of the HMS Anybus family came out on top and C.I.A. has effectively adopted these devices on a permanent basis.

 

“We have produced various equipment with Profibus master PLCs and DeviceNet slaves, or with DeviceNet master PLCs and Profibus slaves, and so on”, said Angelo Galimberti, Director of C.I.A. Automation and Robotics. “HMS products have enabled us to resolve and simplify a number of these applications. The protocols we use the most are Profibus and DeviceNet, which cover almost 90% of the cases we deal with involving robots and PLCs.”

He added that C.I.A. was satisfied with the performance of HMS products and that no major problems were encountered. “I believe that we will continue to find space for HMS products in our future applications, whenever we need to interface system parts that use different communication protocols”, concluded the director of C.I.A. Automation & Robotics.
