Case Studies

Anybus CompactCom enables communication between ARO’s controller for welding systems and Profinet + EtherNet/IP.

ARO now offers Profinet and EtherNet/IP connectivity, plus Profinet Fiber Optic connectivity to meet AIDA requirements. Since Anybus supports over 20 different industrial networks, industrial communication connectivity never needs to be a problem in the future. 

Anybus Wireless Bridge enables data from 1080 Motion’s neuromuscular testing machines to be transferred wirelessly to a computer for immediate display.

Using the existing Ethernet communications port available on the GE Fanuc family of PLCs and the HMS Anybus X-gateway, Sytech Systems was able to create a transparent bridge between the PLC and any commonly used industrial network via Modbus TCP. Thanks to this open and cost-effective solution, there was no need to add cards or racks to the system. 

Flexicon is a world leader in sterilized filling systems. For their new generation of closed loop peristaltic pump controller, the MC100, they have chosen to implement Anybus CompactCom for multi-network connectivity.

Smart cameras connect to Siemens PLCs running PROFIBUS with the help of Anybus X-gateways. The Siemens PLCs control a visual inspection system from SPAMI.

 

SELI Tunneling is in charge of drilling the tunnels for the new Copenhagen Metro. Their tunnel-building machines run DeviceNet while their new erector arm runs CANopen. To bridge these networks, they used the Anybus X-gateway CANopen.
