Anybus connectivity solutions for drives and inverters

HMS offers different types Anybus communication solutions for drives and inverters:

Integrate existing drives into any PLC control system (Fieldbus or Industrial Ethernet)

Connect a non-networked drive to a PLC control system (via its serial/CAN interface)

Embed multi-network capability into a new drive series 

Integrate existing drives into a PLC control system

Integrate any drive/inverter with a proprietary industrial network to any fieldbus or industrial Ethernet network.

Scenario

A typical retro-fitting application scenario is connecting drives from Rockwell Automation or other manufacturers which use EtherNet/IP into a Siemens PLC system using PROFIBUS or PROFINET or vice versa!

 

Solution

Anybus® X-gateways™ connect any TWO combinations of fieldbus or industrial Ethernet networks. The X-gateways primary function is a fast transfer of cyclic I/O data between the two networks.  

  • Over 200 individual network combination gateway versions available - compatible with all PLC brands
  • Master/Scanner interfaces for CANopen, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP and PROFIBUS can eliminate the need for an additional expense of a PLC Master Controller.

Anybus gateways and networks

Connect serial or CAN-based drives to a PLC system

Connect any non-networked drive via its serial RS-232/422/485 or CAN interface to any fieldbus or industrial Ethernet network.

Scenario

Keep an existing, well-performing non-networked drive by connecting it to a PLC control system using its serial RS-232/422/485 or CAN-based interface. No need for any hardware or software changes.

 

Solution

Anybus® Communicator™ connects to the drive's RS-232/422/485 interface and translates the serial/CAN data stream into a fieldbus or industrial Ethernet protocol. The drive will then be represented as a Slave/Adapter on the PLC control network. 

  • Versions available for all major fieldbus and industrial Ethernet networks
  • Performs complete serial protocol conversion, no PLC function blocks required
  • The internal processing time ranges between 5–20 ms. For high-performance drives/inverters, HMS recommends Anybus CompactCom (see below).

Serial Modbus-RTU device

Integrate real-time industrial Ethernet and fieldbus capability

Give your new drive series an integrated real-time networking solution for industrial Ethernet and fieldbus. Supports motion profiles and synchronization. 

Scenario

Need to have real-time industrial Ethernet and traditional fieldbus connectivity for a new drive series that can sell in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Also, require the integration of motion profiles and support for synchronization.

 

Solution

Anybus® CompactCom™ products are ready-made communication interfaces for fieldbus and industrial Ethernet, which you embed into your product. You choose the form factor depending on how integrated you want the solution to be — Chip, Brick or Module.

  • Real-Time Industrial Ethernet with fast data transfer: up to 1500 bytes of process data each way with very low latency
  • Multi-network capability through just one in-design
  • Unique way to integrate motion profiles and synchronization

Anybus CompactCom functionality for Drives

Anybus CompactCom makes your drives "network neutral." This means that you can offer your products to new markets or segments without making changes to your drives. If you need connectivity to a new network, the time-to-market is almost instant.

 

Drives functionality

 

Get your drives ready for the future

Anybus technology gets your drives ready for real-time communication in the modern factory. Apart from fast and secure communication, you also get IT functions such as email, integrated web server, FTP and socket interface.

With Anybus you can rest assured that you always have the latest network technology inside your drives and that your offering is future proof.

How does Anybus CompactCom handle drive and motion profiles?

Put simply: it doesn’t. Instead, HMS offers a ready-made Profile Driver Package — source code which you implement into your drive to get profile support for different networks. This will give you maximum performance and enable you to support exactly the functionality you need for your preferred networks.

Drive-inside

How it works

Data is not “translated” inside the Anybus CompactCom. Rather, it passes through the module’s transparent channel unchanged and the conversion of profile-specific data is done in your drive with the help of the HMS’ Profile Driver Package.

This will give you very fast data transfer and only support for the functions you really need. The ready-made source code from HMS can be quickly adapted to your drive. HMS expertise is also available if you need help implementing the programming stacks into your drive.
