Description

Technical documentation

Connect OT and IT

.NET gateways enable PLC control systems to connect with .NET solutions, integrating OT and IT.

Code generator

The Anybus .NET Bridge Code Generator creates C# files for the .NET programmer and PLC files for the PLC programmer according to a defined spreadsheet.

Simulators

The configuration software includes two simulators: a PLC simulator for the .NET programmer and a .NET simulator for the PLC programmer.

3-year warranty

.NET Bridges are designed to be robust and durable. A 3-year warranty is provided.

Easy-to-use interface for the PLC programmer

A function block, provided by Anybus, manages the link protocol on the PLC side and provides an easy-to-use interface for the PLC programmer.

High-volume data communication

Supports 65535 different message types, each with a unique identification. The maximum message size is 251 bytes. Messages are sent sequentially through the same IO data, which facilitates the communication of large amounts of data.

Automatic configuration

If a Bridge needs to be replaced, the .NET application will automatically establish the configuration.
