The Anybus Communicator Serial Master to PROFINET IO-Device enables you to connect any RS-232/485 device or equipment to PROFINET control systems. Anybus Communicators ensure reliable, secure, and high-speed data transfers between different industrial networks. Thanks to our intuitive web-based user interface, they're also incredibly easy to use.

ABC3113-A is the same physical product as ABC3190-A, and when loaded with ABC3113-A firmware ABC3190-A will become an ABC3113-A gateway

Key features of  ABC3000 Series

Features and benefits

Easily convert proprietary RS-232/485 protocols
Convert RS-232/485 Request/Response or Produce/Consume protocol in just a few minutes. Use the drag-and-drop frame builder to build frames, insert/extract data, and handle complex variable frames.

Connect up to 32 Modbus RTU Servers (slaves)
Easily handles demanding applications thanks to support for up to 32 servers, 150 Modbus commands, a selectable 3 ms serial update rate, a graphical transaction builder, controller/PLC triggers and inter-node data exchange.

Transfer 1024 bytes to and from PROFINET controller (PLC)
Transfer up to 1024 bytes in each direction (2048 total) via dual 10/100 Mbit full duplex RJ45 ports with an integrated switch for daisy-chaining. PROFINET IO-Device, 1 ms minimum cycle time, Conformance Class B, Netload Class III, and includes a GSD file.

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 analyze serial traffic and monitor data going through the gateway. Monitor and control nodes via the Live List and Data Exchange Control features. Our global support team is ready to help if needed.

Drop-in replacement
Already using a Communicator Classic? Don’t worry, with legacy mode you can import your current serial configuration and continue using the same configuration in your controller/PLC.

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.
