Technical Specifications

Intuitive user interface
Use the intuitive web-based user interface to easily configure the Communicator via the drag-and-drop functionality or to analyze live data, export log files, and generate support packages.

Cybersecurity
The secure boot protects against malware, while a security switch locks configurations to prevent unauthorized changes. Ports used in production are disabled to add another layer of security.

When the security switch is in its locked position, the Communicator built-in web interface can not be accessed and the Communicator can not be configured using the built-in web interface. Network specific parameters, configured via the PLC is still available.

Protocols such as SNMP, Telnet, FTP, SSH, HTTP, etc. cannot pass thru the gateway.

High performance
Powered by the award-winning NP40 network processor and high-end components, the Communicator meets the constantly growing demand for more data to be transferred faster.

Optimized hardware design
The Communicator has forward-facing ports and is designed for IP20 and DIN-rail mounting, enabling you to install it with ease, close to connected devices, thereby reducing wiring requirements.

Instant data transfer
Instant data transfer lets you take advantage of high-speed industrial networks, as the Communicator provides hardware-accelerated endian conversion (byte swap), saving processing time on the PLC.

5-year warranty
The Communicator is made to be durable and have a long life. We’re so confident in its quality that we provide a 5-year warranty.

Ensures uptime
Thanks to carefully selected industrial components the Communicator operates reliably in harsh industrial environments ensuring uptime and a long life.

Instant diagnostics
The user interface displays real-time connection status and I/O data mapping for easy troubleshooting. Easily generate a support file containing all the necessary information.

Brand Labeling
Pre-configure the Communicator and customize the hardware and user interface with your colors and logos.

Life cycle management
HMS maintains every part of the Communicator, including network updates, throughout the product’s lifecycle.
