The Anybus EtherNet/IP to Serial Linking Device converts serial to EtherNet/IP, enabling you to connect any serial device to a Logix PLC control system. The linking device presents serial data as easily processed I/O data, offloading the PLC from working with extra calculations and allowing for seamless integration with Studio 5000.
Features and benefits
Seamless integration with Studio 5000
The unique Studio 5000® Logix designer integration provides access to everything, including serial network configuration. No need for extra 3rd-party software, licenses, or programming.
Convert any type of serial protocol
The Linking Device can convert any standard serial protocol such as Modbus RTU, DF1, or any other Request/Response or Produce/Consume proprietary protocol.
Connect, configure, done
EtherNet/IP Linking Devices are configured using a Custom Add-On Profile in Studio 5000, dynamically generating data structures for each device and eliminating the need for ladder logic files.
Automatic tag names
Our Custom Add-On Profile for Studio 5000 supports the automatic generation of named and structured controller tags, eliminating the need to create alias tags.
