How to embed Anybus CompactCom

HMS' Product Marketing Manager Christian Bergdahl explains what you need to do to design in Anybus CompactCom into your device. 

How to embed an Anybus CompactCom

Get started with your In-design

The Anybus CompactCom Starter Kit is a development kit for the Anybus CompactCom platform (chip, brick and module), which gives designers instant access to the capabilities of the Anybus CompactCom range of products. The kit allows both quick demonstration and in depth evaluation capabilities, and enables a potential application to be designed and evaluated in a PC environment.

 

Demo Software

With the Demo Software included, HMS provides a fast tool to set up communication between the Anybus CompactCom module and the fieldbus or industrial network. This tool uses the Anybus CompactCom driver for communication with Anybus CompactCom modules. Behind this program is written a demo application software that provides the functionality of a fictional product. After having run this Demo Software, to understand more how the application is built up, the next step is to evaluate the driver and example code for Anybus CompactCom that is provided in the starter kit.

 

Source code and Drivers

HMS supplies a free source level (C language) software driver that can be used freely to speed up the development process. The driver acts as “glue” between the Anybus module and the host application, i.e. it separates the low level host interface communication from the host application software and provides easy to use function calls for common Anybus related tasks. The driver is fully OS independent, and can even be used without an operating system if required. 
  • Anybus USB Board (carrier board for the option board with module and link to the computer)
  • Option Board (for module, module without housing or brick depending on choice)
  • Anybus CompactCom Expansion Board (for module and module without housing)
  • Includes software driver (written in Ansi C) that can be ported into the application software for the data exchange between the application and the Anybus CompactCom
  • 24V Power Adapter
  • USB Cable
  • All packaged and delivered in a unique case
  • Modules and bricks need to be ordered separately

Embedded evaluation boards for CompactCom

The support for multiple Industrial Fieldbuses and Ethernet protocols within the Anybus CompactCom offer can easily be evaluated with the Anybus CompactCom Host Application Example Code.

The Anybus CompactCom Host Application Example Code is a free source level (C language) software driver and example application that can be used freely to speed up the development process on any target platform.

By using the embedded evaluation boards from STM or NXP (formerly Freescale) together with the Anybus CompactCom Host Application Example Code – users get all they need for a fast start of design. With these evaluation boards you work in an embedded environment enabling you to make a stand-alone test application.
