Powerful Powerlink connectivity
06 March 2014
Anybus CompactCom 40-series products from HMS Industrial Networks allow Ethernet Powerlink connectivity for industrial devices. Powerlink is an industrial Ethernet network originating from the Austrian automation company B+R.

Powerlink is one of the first networks to be offered in the new Anybus CompactCom 40-series, which will be released in April. The CompactCom 40-series allows very fast and accurate communication between the host device and Powerlink.
Communication speed and reliability are important since Powerlink networks are often used for demanding industrial applications such as synchronized servo drive systems. The CompactCom 40-series Powerlink products come in three different formats – chip, brick and module – and are all equipped with the same software interface from the host device. This enables full flexibility for customers when preparing their automation product for CompactCom.
