Key Features: Anybus Communicator EtherCAT MainDevice to Modbus TCP Server

The Anybus Communicator EtherCAT (ABC3128-A) from HMS Networks is an industrial protocol gateway that allows EtherCAT devices acting as Master to connect to Modbus TCP networks as Server in a transparent and simple way, without complex PLC programming. It supports up to 24 EtherCAT devices and acts as a bidirectional bridge between both protocols.

Easy configuration via the free Anybus Configuration Manager software and dual Ethernet ports for daisy-chain topology. Compact design for DIN rail mounting and 9-30 VDC power supply. As **official Anybus distributor** (part of the HMS Networks group) in Spain, at Garmasl we offer immediate stock, specialized technical support, and full warranty.
