Anybus Communicator Serial Master to Modbus TCP Slave | Anybus | ABC3028-A

Key Features: Anybus Communicator Serial Master to Modbus TCP Slave

The Anybus Communicator Serial Master (ABC3028-A) from HMS Networks is an industrial protocol gateway that allows serial devices (RS-232/422/485) acting as Master to connect transparently to Modbus TCP networks as Slave without complex PLC programming. It supports up to 31 serial devices and acts as a bidirectional bridge between serial protocols and Modbus TCP. 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.
