Practical and Functional: a Design that Advocates Ease of Use
The Anybus Communicator AB7317-B CAN to PROFINET-IO combines an optimized physical design with simple configuration, offering a practical and efficient experience in equal measure for the user:
Compact hardware design
The gateway supports DIN rail mounting and IP20 rating, which facilitates its installation in any environment without the need for wiring. Also, it does not need a slot for a PLC card, leaving space for other equipment.
Intuitive and Uncomplicated Configuration
On the other hand, the Anybus Communicator is configured easily and quickly via the Anybus Configuration Manager software, without the need for programming knowledge or any type of hardware or software changes.
Along the same lines, based on the Save/Load functionality, users can reuse a complete configuration in other installations, saving time and effort in implementation. In addition, its integration requires neither code nor function blocks.
AB7317-B: Flexibility and Integration in Industrial Environments
Another of the converter’s strengths is its great versatility and ease of fitting into different industrial environments, due to capabilities such as:
Universal Compatibility with PLCs
Compatible with PLCs from leading manufacturers, the Anybus Communicator AB7317-B ensures seamless integration into any industrial environment.
Compatibility, also, with CAN Protocols
The Anybus Communicator supports protocols such as CANopen or custom CAN via the Anybus Configuration Manager, supporting CAN 1.0, 2.0A and 2.0B quickly and efficiently, thanks to the visual creation of CAN frames within the same software.
Conversion of Proprietary Protocols
Likewise, the Anybus Communicator AB7317-B adapts to any system, allowing the conversion of Production/Consumption and Request/Response protocols. In addition, it facilitates the creation of custom CAN transactions for specific applications.
Daisy chain
Thanks to its two Ethernet ports with integrated switch, the Anybus Communicator AB7317-B allows you to connect devices in a daisy chain, simplifying network installation and eliminating the need for external switches.
Cybersecurity Measures
The Anybus Communicator AB7317-B includes essential cybersecurity measures to safeguard the integrity of the system and the network:
IP Access Control
The converter allows you to define the authorized IP addresses to connect to the device. In this way, it ensures that only those approved users and systems have access.
Different User Roles
Likewise, the Anybus Communicator features an FTP server with two different access levels: administrator/admin and standard/normal. In this way, it ensures the restriction of permissions according to the type of user: while administrators have full control over the file system, normal users have limited access.
Fast Data Transfer for High-Performance Industrial Networks
The gateway allows a fast and efficient transfer of Input/Output data (I/O) between the two networks, which prevents your PLC from working with additional calculations.
Long-term Reliability, Guarantee and Support with AB7317-B
Reliable Operation Thanks to a Robust Design
The Anybus Communicator AB7317-B ensures reliable operation even in demanding industrial environments, functioning stably in a range of temperatures from -25ºC to +55º and humidity levels from 10 to 95%. With a robust, compact and lightweight construction at the same time, it becomes the ideal device for those installations that require reliable devices.
Long Service Life and a 3-Year Warranty
The Anybus Communicator is composed of carefully selected elements that ensure its long-term durability, ensuring optimal and reliable operation even in adverse environments. A clear commitment to quality backed by a 3-year guarantee.
