communicationRS-422DeviceNet

Overview
The Anybus Communicator AB7001-C is a serial-to-DeviceNet protocol converter that enables connection of RS-232/422/485 equipment to DeviceNet control systems. It converts standard and proprietary serial protocols to DeviceNet I/O data, simplifying integration of legacy machines and instruments. Item number AB7001-C.

Features and benefits

• No hardware or software changes required: integrate serial devices without modifying the device.
• Quick Modbus RTU setup: predefined Modbus RTU and a 6-step wizard eliminate manual frame scripting.
• Protocol compatibility: supports Modbus RTU, DF1 and custom Request/Response or Produce/Consume protocols.
• Compact DIN-rail design: IP20 housing for installation close to devices to reduce cabling.
• Configuration management: Save & Load completed configurations for reuse.
• Daisy-chaining capability: Dual-port switched Ethernet versions allow daisy chaining without external switches.
• Lifecycle support: HMS provides maintenance and network updates across the product lifecycle.
