The Anybus Communicator EtherCAT MainDevice to Modbus TCP enables you to connect any EtherCAT device to Modbus TCP control systems. Anybus Communicators ensure reliable, secure, and high-speed data transfer between different industrial networks. Thanks to our intuitive web-based user interface, they're also incredibly easy to use.

ABC3128-A is the same physical product as ABC3190-A, and when loaded with ABC3128-A firmware ABC3190-A will become an ABC3128-A gateway

Key features of  ABC3000 Series

Features and benefits

Connect up to 24 SubDevices with Scanning
Support for up to 24 SubDevices, 1486 bytes per device, and a 1 ms cycle time for demanding applications. Scan for EtherCAT devices via the web interface, automatically identifying and mapping them to the controller/PLC.

Transfer 1500 bytes to and from Modbus TCP controller (PLC)
Transfer up to 1500 bytes in each direction (3000 bytes total) via dual 10/100 Mbit full-duplex RJ45 ports with an integrated switch for daisy-chaining. Modbus TCP Server supporting 4 connections.

Instant data transfer
The Communicator transfers data instantly between networks, with processing time so low you don’t even need to count it, as it’s in line with network jitter. Just add the cycle times of both networks to get the total transfer time.

Configure via web interface over Ethernet
With a graphical and responsive web interface, configuration is a breeze. In addition, there's no software to install and the dedicated Ethernet configuration port makes it easy to get started.

Diagnostics and support
The user interface shows connection status, allowing you to monitor data going through the gateway. Monitor and control SubDevices via the Live List and Data Exchange Control features. Our global support team is ready to help if needed.

Secure and segment networks
Secure boot blocks malware, while a security switch locks configurations to prevent unauthorized changes. Network segmentation is inherent in the design, as each network is run separately, with only configured data transferred between networks.

Built for factory floors
The Gateway is made with industrial-grade components, verified to meet industry standards, and backed by a 5-year warranty. Its slim form factor, front-facing ports, and cable tie make DIN-rail installation easy.
