Anybus Communicator - Protocol converter gateways
Device connectivity through the Anybus Communicator
Protocol converters are needed to fill the communication gap
Common device protocols such as Modbus-RTU, DF1, CAN, or ASCII are often used when connecting a non-networked
industrial device to a PLC system and its fieldbus or industrial Ethernet network. To allow these devices to participate on an
Industrial Network, a gateway (protocol converter) can be used.
An Anybus Communicator gateway can be used to fill this communication gap. A complete family of gateway/protocol
converters that connect any industrial device to all leading fieldbus or Industrial Ethernet networks.
No PLC function blocks, no programming required!

Configuration of the X-gateway

J1939 is simple using the free
and included Windows based
BWConfig software. It enables
the setting up of an I/O table
containing selected J1939 PGNs
and the rate that each will be
read or written from the J1939
network.
BWConfig will then automatically
map the I/O table to a range of
addresses accessible from the
X-gateway EtherNet/IP interface.
The configuration is downloaded
from the PC to the X-gateway via
an RS-232 connection and is saved
in the FLASH memory.

C.I.A. Automation and Robotics
Anybus X-gateways provide robots
with connectivity to several
industrial networks such as for
example PROFIBUS and DeviceNet.
System integration made easy for

Chinese subway line.
Automation: a must to be able to

compete on the global market.
Guangzhou Metro Line in China connected various monitoring

equipment to ControlNet using solutions from Rockwell
Automation and the Anybus Communicator from HMS.
C.I.A. Automation and Robotics has extensive experience in the

field of advanced automation, proposed as a strategic tool to
increase the competitiveness of Italian companies in the world.
It offers advanced technologies such as laser scanners,
stereoscopic vision equipment and systems that can reproduce a
die and copy it directly, automatically recomposing the scanning
scattergrams, a very differentiating solution.
The Guangzhou Metro Line 5 spans 40 kilometres east to

west through Guangzhou City. The line includes 24 stations
and has a capacity of transporting a whopping 50 million
passengers per day.
Like all modern subway lines, the Guangzhou Metro Line 5
has a comprehensive monitoring system overlooking
ventilation, air conditioning, water supply, drainage,
elevators etc.
The Challenge
The Metro Line system has numerous points with large amounts
of data. The monitoring system has a total of about 210,000 I/O
points. The entire project was forecasted to contain 280,000
points, of which 70,000 points were allocated to the BAS system.
Consequently, system integration required a great deal of work
and deadlines were tight 24 stations were to be simultaneously
opened. Indeed, never before in the country had so many stations
been opened at one time.
BAS Metro Line 5 System Overview

The Solution
The Rockwell Automation system is widely used in the rail
transport field. The central segment of the Metro Line 5 BAS
system uses ControlLogix Redundancy Controllers from the
Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture platform. Together
with the Anybus Communicator ControlNet gateway, devices
with a serial RS-485 interface with a custom protocol were easily
integrated into the system.
The BAS system was implemented one month before Guangzhou
Metro Line 5 was successfully commissioned. The system
integration was carried out by Beijing-based HollySys Automation
Technologies.
The Challenge
We have produced automation systems, testing benches
and machinery managed by PLCs and Scada systems for the
foodstuffs, chemical, glass, plastics, metalworking, metallurgical
and automobile industries, explained Mr Angelo Galimberti,
the sole director of C.I.A. Automation and Robotics. As well as
many other applications, such as robotised stations for servomechanical machinery, palletisation lines, assembly lines and
processing lines such as for handling, cutting, hot and cold
pressing, welding, tacking, induction, brazing, deburring, etc.
As most of C.I.A Automation and Robotics applications are
specific, they have to interface different kinds of devices in their
automatic systems that use different communication protocols.
The Solution
We have produced various equipment with PROFIBUS master
PLCs and DeviceNet slaves, or with DeviceNet master PLCs and
PROFIBUS slaves, and so on, said Galimberti. HMS products

have enabled us to resolve and simplify a number of these
applications. The protocols we use the most are PROFIBUS and
DeviceNet, which cover almost 90% of the cases we deal with
involving robots and PLCs.
The Result
He added that C.I.A. was satisfied with the performance of HMS
products and that no major problems were encountered. I
believe that we will continue to find space for HMS products in
our future applications, whenever we need to interface system
parts that use different communication protocols, concluded
the director of C.I.A. Automation & Robotics.
The Communicator required no programming and was configured to use a uniform method to access sub-systems; thereby, saving us a great deal of
This need for flexibility in diverse design conditions led us to try HMS products, which we appreciated immediately because they are particularly

Case Study: Remote management

Summary:

Remote monitoring and control

USA
Bauer Compressors
Netbiter monitors compressors
in order to reduce downtime and
optimize gas consumption.
Remote management helps improve

customer care and service.
Bauer Compressors is a leading manufacturer of compressor
systems that offer commercial and industrial solutions for oxygen,
natural gas (CNG), and some noble gases. Having a turnover (not
consolidated) of over 140 million Euro worldwide, the BAUER
KOMPRESSOREN Group has become a global player in the high
pressure sector. A world market share of over 70% for breathing
air applications underpins BAUERs technological leadership.
The Challenge
Bauer recently launched a new product line that includes remote
monitoring capability a feature that is new to the compressor
market. In selecting the remote monitoring vendor, Bauer
wanted an easy-to-implement solution for the site installations,
and a solution that provides easy central management of all the
monitored sites. We wanted to implement remote monitoring
on our compressors in order to reduce downtime and optimize gas
consumption, explains Tommy Michaelides, Bauer Compressors
Inc., the US subsidiary.
The Solution
Bauer chose the Netbiter Solution, consisting of GSM-enabled
remote devices and the Netbiter Online Management Portal. This
industrial grade remote management solution enables access
to mobile and stationary installations for applications such as
monitoring, control, alarm management, data logging, reporting,
location tracking and service call. It is primarily made for
remote monitoring, but control is also possible: for instance PLC
parameters can be changed.

appreciated by our
customers, explains
Tommy Michaelides. This is a very modular solution we can
duplicate easily on any other plant, whatever the compressor or
the PLC. New development is minimized and
our objective is to offer this option more on our different ranges of
products.
Bauer studied the offers from several vendors but the choice was
made for HMS: it was less expensive and it appeared to be more
proven. Most of all, as it is a long term project for Bauer, it appears
to us to be the most promising offer: the web system is attractive
and it is open to all PLCs and any kind of fieldbus concludes
Tommy Michaelides.
The Result
This added-value option is very new in our industry. Return
on investment for our customers should be very short. Firstly,
it simplifies maintenance operations. Second, it also enables
quicker intervention when a problem occurs. Thus, downtimes are
reduced and gas consumption can also be optimized. Thats very
valuable as gas is expensive.
