Anybus Communicator PROFINET to EtherNet/IP Gateway ABC4013-A

ANYBUS BY HMS NETWORKS | PLC-TO-PLC COMMUNICATION

Fast and secure data exchange between PROFINET IO and EtherNet/IP control systems.

The Anybus Communicator ABC4013-A is an industrial gateway designed to connect a PROFINET IO controller to an EtherNet/IP controller, enabling data exchange between PLCs and automation systems using different industrial networks.

The gateway operates as a PROFINET IO Device on the PROFINET network and as an EtherNet/IP Adapter on the EtherNet/IP network. Each controller remains in control of its own network, while the ABC4013-A transfers only the configured data between them.

Key Features: Anybus Communicator ABC4013-A

  • Communication between PROFINET IO and EtherNet/IP control systems.
  • Operates as a PROFINET IO Device.
  • Operates as an EtherNet/IP Adapter.
  • Transfers up to 1,024 bytes in each direction on PROFINET.
  • Transfers up to 1,448 bytes in each direction on EtherNet/IP.
  • Minimum cycle time of 1 ms on both networks.
  • Configuration through a graphical and responsive web interface.
  • No dedicated configuration software needs to be installed.
  • Dedicated Ethernet configuration port.
  • Hardware-accelerated endian conversion and byte swapping.
  • Diagnostics for connection status and transferred data.
  • Built-in network segmentation: only configured data is transferred.

Applications and Benefits: Anybus Communicator ABC4013-A

PROFINET and EtherNet/IP PLC integration

The ABC4013-A enables data exchange between PLCs and control systems from manufacturers that use different industrial protocols. A typical application is the integration of an EtherNet/IP-based machine into a PROFINET-based production plant.

Industrial applications

  • Integration of EtherNet/IP machines into PROFINET factories.
  • Data exchange between Siemens PLCs and EtherNet/IP controllers.
  • Connection of production lines supplied by different machine manufacturers.
  • Integration of imported machinery into existing plants.
  • Automotive and packaging machinery.
  • Warehouse, conveyor and material-handling systems.
  • Water and wastewater treatment systems.
  • Process and factory automation.
  • Modernisation of installations using different industrial networks.
  • Replacement of the previous Anybus X-gateway AB7649-F.

Installation benefits

  • Enables data exchange without completely redesigning both PLC programs.
  • Graphical configuration through a standard web browser.
  • No additional configuration software or licence is required.
  • High-speed cyclic data transfer.
  • Physical and logical separation between the two industrial networks.
  • Connection and data diagnostics through the web interface.
  • Compact housing measuring only 27 mm wide.
  • Legacy mode simplifies the replacement of previous Anybus X-gateways.

Built-in cybersecurity

The Anybus Communicator includes Secure Boot, HTTPS configuration, role-based access control and a physical security switch that prevents unauthorised configuration changes.

The gateway was developed under an IEC 62443-4-1 certified process and includes features designed to help machine builders and system integrators meet the requirements of the Cyber Resilience Act.

Configuration and technical support

To confirm that the ABC4013-A is suitable for an application, the following information should be checked:

  • Brand and model of both PLCs.
  • Which PLC operates as the PROFINET controller.
  • Which PLC operates as the EtherNet/IP scanner.
  • Amount of process data to be exchanged.
  • Required update time.
  • Data types and any byte-swapping requirements.
  • Topology of both industrial networks.
  • Reference of the existing gateway when planning a replacement.

Important: the ABC4013-A operates as a PROFINET IO Device and an EtherNet/IP Adapter. Before selecting the gateway, check that a controller or master is available on each network.
