Interface is certified CC-Link
compatible
HMS has just received its compliance certificate and test report from the CC-Link Partners Association (CLPA) for its CC-Link-compatible Anybus-S product.
HMS, which develops and supplies unique communication technologies for connecting industrial products to fieldbus networks, has just received its compliance certificate and test report from the CC-Link Partners Association (CLPA) for its CC-Link-compatible Anybus-S product The Anybus-S fieldbus interface is designed to be integrated with automation devices, giving them direct connection to CC-Link

Explaining worldwide fieldbus differences
All fieldbus protocols share the same, really rather short, history, but that does not mean they are anything like equal.
Only the size of a credit card, this powerful interface can be used to connect a host of automation products, such as HMIs, inverters, servos, PLCs etc, onto CC-Link via its dual port parallel interface.
Optimised to work as a high performance slave interface, its unique 16bit processor system runs the complete CC-Link protocol stack, and complies with the CLPA's BTP-05027-B specification, which supports all profiles for remote CC-link devices.
The interface uses an asynchronous mailbox system to send and receive data (128bit points and 32 words) up to speeds of 10Mbit/s and distances of 4.3km.
Designed to operate in temperatures from 0 to 70C, the industrialised interface draws only 450mA of current and, with industrial environments in mind, the interface is galvanically isolated and certified for EMC and by UL and cUL.
The Anybus-S system comes with an EEPROM memory that can be upgraded on site if necessary, which allows the interface to keep pace with improvements in CC-Link technology, reducing customer risk of redundant products.
As defined in the CC-Link standard, HMS supplies an electronic datasheet (the CSP-File) with the module, which makes it easy for programmers to use the HMS device using standard CC-link programming tools. Request a free brochure from CC-Link Partner Association ...
