Real-time communication on any Ethernet network

Designed to handle fast communication

The Anybus CompactCom 40-series will give you high performance data exchange that can handle even the most demanding synchronized motion applications.

The pivotal core of CompactCom is the Anybus NP40 — HMS’ own industrial network processor which ensures that the communication between your processor and the network is just as fast as if you had implemented network communication inside your processor. 

Anybus NP40 — all about real-time communication

The Anybus NP40 is designed for demanding applications, especially targeting real-time industrial Ethernet.

• Handles large amounts of process data – up to 1500 bytes in each direction
• Low throughput latency, less than 15µs for high performance networks
• Possibility to send a complete Ethernet frame via the socket interface (up to 1500 bytes).
• Clock-synchronous operation
• Event-based interface method enables easy to access input and output data at any time.
• Extended Host interface coverage
  - 8/16-bit parallel
  - High speed SPI
  - I/O (shift register interface)

The most demanding applications demand CompactCom

Drives / inverters have long been an important market for Anybus. The demands from modern high-performance drives have been pushing the development of Anybus CompactCom 40-series.

Easy to handle drives and motion profiles

Profiles for drives or motion are supported by the CompactCom concept through a Profile Driver Package — a software stack which you implement into your device.

How it works:

Profile 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.
