Industrial gateway Anybus AB9071-C

communicationEthernetPROFIBUS

Overview
The Anybus .NET Bridge AB9071-C enables direct connection between a PROFIBUS PLC function block and a .NET application on a PC. The bridge translates PROFIBUS data to C# structures and provides simulators and a code generator to simplify integration and accelerate development.

Features and benefits

• Connect OT and IT: Allows PLC control systems to interface with .NET applications for unified OT/IT workflows.
• Code generator: Produces C# files for .NET developers and PLC files for PLC engineers from a defined spreadsheet template.
• Maximum performance with Streamer Mode: Supports streamer mode for direct data streams without handshake to minimize latency.
• Simulators included: Configuration software provides a PLC simulator for .NET developers and a .NET simulator for PLC engineers to validate integration.
• 3-year warranty: Designed for long-term industrial use with a 3-year warranty.
• PLC-friendly interface: A supplied PLC function block handles handshake logic and simplifies PLC-side integration.
• Large data communication: Supports up to 65,535 distinct message types (unique IDs); max message size 251 bytes; sequential message delivery over same I/O for large transfers.
• Automatic configuration setup: Replacement bridges are automatically configured by the .NET application.
• Life cycle management: HMS maintains .NET Gateways and provides network updates throughout the product lifecycle.

Product description
The Anybus .NET Bridge AB9071-C translates PROFIBUS protocol data into .NET/C#-compatible formats to enable seamless communication between PLCs and PC-based .NET applications. Built-in simulators and a code generator reduce integration effort and accelerate commissioning. Streamer mode and support for many message types make the device suitable for applications requiring low latency and large data exchanges.
