All 2nd generation Communicators are powered by the Anybus NP40 industrial network processor used in all HMS’ embedded solutions, which ensures that the Communicators will match demanding requirements in terms of performance, reliability, and security. Depending on use case, data cycle times are up to 10 times faster than with the first generation Communicators thanks to the new hardware and software.

Users can also benefit from significantly increased data exchange support as up to 1,448 bytes can be transferred from the connected PLC to the gateway, as well as from the gateway to the PLC.
