AnyBus Communicator for RS-232/422/485 based ASCii protocols

Excellent solution to integrate Slave devices on proprietary ASCii protocols on RS-232/422/485 with other FieldBus and Industrial Ethernet networks.

  • Field devices from many vendors support only ASCii protocols with proprietary communication commands or strings. Such devices are networked on either RS-232 or RS-485 or RS-422.
  • The Anybus ASCii Communicator is a great solution control and monitor these devices using controllers/PLCs or SCADA which work on other Fieldbus and Industrial Ethernet protocols and cannot directly understand the proprietary ASCii codes.

How does it work?

  • The Communicator has a serial interface that is configured to be the master on the serial RS-232/485/422 ASCii bus.
  • The Communicator is internally programmed to interpret the incoming ASCii codes and send out appropriate commands in ASCii.
  • This master interface reads and writes data to and from the ASCii slave devices.
  • The data is stored internally and made available to the other network on requests.
