Features and benefits

• Connect OT and IT — enables PLC control systems to connect with .NET solutions for integrated OT/IT workflows.
• Code generator — the Anybus .NET Bridge Code Generator produces C# files for .NET developers and PLC files for PLC programmers from a defined spreadsheet.
• Simulators — configuration software includes two simulators: a PLC simulator for .NET developers and a .NET simulator for PLC programmers to support parallel development and testing.
• 3-year warranty — product is covered by a 3-year warranty.
• PLC-friendly interface — an Anybus-provided function block manages the handshake and provides a simple interface for PLC programmers.
• Large data communication — supports up to 65,535 different message types (unique IDs), maximum message size 251 bytes; messages are sent sequentially over the same I/O data to facilitate large-data transfers.
• Automatic configuration setup — replacement of a bridge triggers automatic configuration setup by the .NET application.
• Life cycle management — HMS maintains the .NET Gateways and provides network updates during the product lifecycle.
