Ethernet/IP Linking Device

Published on : Tuesday 30-11--0001

HMS Industrial Networks has released the second product in their EtherNet/IP Linking Devices family. The new EtherNet/IP to Modbus-TCP Linking Device allows users to connect devices on Modbus-TCP to a Rockwell ControlLogix or CompactLogix PLC. Users will benefit from the unique integration to Rockwell’s Studio5000 Logix Designer, as all configuration is made from inside Studio 5000. The device makes it possible to include any automation device with Modbus TCP-communication into an EtherNet/IP-based network architecture supporting over 8000 bytes of IO data in total. Besides being a more cost-effective alternative to in-chassis communication modules, the distributed EtherNet/IP to Modbus-TCP linking device also brings other advantages: improved system architecture; easy configuration; high performance and stability; and easier system integration. All configuration is made from inside Rockwell Automation’s Studio5000 Logix Designer. HMS Industrial Networks is the leading independent supplier of products for industrial communication including remote management. HMS develops and manufactures solutions for connecting automation devices and systems to industrialnetworks under the Netbiter, Anybus and IXXAT brands.
