OverviewA protocol converter that connects serial devices to CANopen control systems. The Anybus Communicator AB7003-B converts serial protocols to CANopen, enabling connection of RS-232/RS-485 devices to CANopen networks with secure and high-speed data transfer and simple setup.
Features and benefits- No hardware or software changes needed; pre-defined Modbus RTU support and a 6-step Modbus RTU wizard simplify configuration.
- Quick connection to Modbus RTU with pre-defined configuration options.
- Compatible with standard serial protocols such as Modbus RTU and DF1, and with proprietary request/response or produce/consume protocols.
- Slim IP20 housing for DIN-rail mounting to install close to connected equipment and reduce wiring.
- 3-year warranty.
- Presents serial data as PLC-friendly I/O via intelligent protocol conversion to reduce PLC processing load.
- Save & Load function to reuse configurations across installations.
- Daisy-chaining available on models with Dual Port switched Ethernet to remove need for external switches.
- Life cycle management and network updates maintained throughout the product lifecycle.
Physical & Serial Highlights- Supported serial baud rates: 1200, 1800, 2400, 4800, 7200, 9600, 14400, 19200, 35700, 38400, 57600 bit/s.
- Serial connector: D-sub 9-pin (1x female, plus 1x male for other I/O where applicable).
- Supports RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485 interfaces and DF1.
- CANopen slave mode: supports baud rates 10 kbit/s to 1000 kbit/s and PDO/SDO (DS301 v4.02).
- Maximum CANopen nodes: 31.
