The Automation Inside Portal (www.automationinside.com ), a leading global resource for the automation industry, connecting buyers and suppliers in the field, has selected the Anybus CompactCom 40-series as the winner of the Best Network Technology category at their annual Readers´ Choice Awards for 2015

The Automation Inside Readers´ Choice Awards 2015 gathered 30 nominated solutions from 24 automation companies and after voting by Automation Inside’s readers in 35 countries, Anybus CompactCom 40-series was recognized as ‘Best Network Technology 2015’.

The Anybus® CompactComTM 40-series is the latest embedded networking solution from HMS Industrial Networks. It is available in three form factors – Chip, Brick and Module – and offers multi-network connectivity through a single development project, limiting the customers’ development efforts to an absolute minimum.

The new CompactCom 40-series is based on HMS’ Anybus NP40 network processor and is especially suitable for high-end industrial applications that require fieldbus or real-time industrial Ethernet connectivity. Offering close to ‘zero delay’ between devices and real-time networks, the 40-series is ideal for high-performance applications such as servo drive systems, which require fast network cycles and synchronisation capabilities.

“We are of course very happy to receive this award,” says Christian Bergdahl, Product Marketing Manager at HMS. “We know that we have a strong offering in our 40-series products which has been recognized before, but what is especially rewarding about this award is that it comes from Automation Inside’s readers – people working with the everyday tasks in automation. We see this as further proof that we are on the right track with Anybus embedded network communication solutions and will continue to develop cutting-edge technology that solves our customer’s network connectivity needs.”
