Anybus Communicator Modbus TCP Server to EtherCAT Slave | Anybus | ABC4016-A

Key Features: Anybus Communicator Modbus TCP Server to EtherCAT Slave

The Anybus Communicator Modbus TCP Server (ABC4016-A) from HMS Networks is an industrial protocol gateway that allows Modbus TCP devices acting as Server to connect transparently to EtherCAT networks as Slave without complex PLC programming. It supports up to 32 Modbus TCP 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.
