Network Connectivity with Anybus CompactCom

HMS Industrial Networks’ new Anybus CompactCom 40-series has passed certification for PROFINET Version 2.31, certified for use with the highest conformance class (C) as well as the highest netload class (III). The Anybus CompactCom 40-series provides industrial devices with multi-network connectivity with a specific focus on industrial Ethernet. It is especially suitable for high-end industrial applications with high performance demands and is available in chip, brick and module formats. The 40-series solution for PROFINET enables very fast communication between the host device and PROFINET (process data latency is less than 15µs through the module) and supports PROFINET RT Class 1 and 3. It comes with an integrated PROFINET IRT Ethernet switch and supports PROFINET functions such as MRP (Media Redundancy Protocol), Clock-Synchronous Operation, Fast Start Up and PROFIenergy. CompactCom is also equipped with a black channel interface enabling PROFIsafe communication. When used in combination with the IXXAT Safe T100 safety module, HMS can therefore offer a complete communication solution for functional safety. Apart from supporting advanced PROFINET functionality, the CompactCom 40-series also provides users with powerful IT functions running simultaneously with the PROFINET real-time functions. IT functionality includes, for example, a socket interface giving the possibility to send a complete Ethernet frame (up to 1500 bytes), built-in web pages, file system, and firmware upgrade via FTP, etc.
