An extension to the Anybus CompactCom 40-series enables drive manufacturers to comply with common profile specifications such as Profidrive, EtherCAT DS402 and transparent DS402 on other networks. The series comes in chip, brick or module format, allowing users to choose levels of integration. It is designed especially for applications requiring low latency and high data throughput. (Process data latency is lower than 15µs, and 1,500 bytes of process data can be transferred in each direction.) The series’ products are pre-certified for network conformance by all the major network organizations, says the company.
