AB7870-F HMS Networks Industrial Automation Components

Anybus by HMS Networks AB7870-F is a gateway within the X-gateway series designed for protocol translation. It functions as a ControlNet adapter and Modbus Plus slave, featuring vertical or flat installation positions with galvanic isolation on both BUS/Ethernet sides. The I/O configuration is manageable via USB port using Anybus Configuration Manager software. This model includes 2 configuration switches (x10 / x1), 10 LED indicators for fieldbus/sub-network/device status, 6 node ID switches, and 6 source ID switches. It operates on a supply voltage of 19.2-28.8Vdc (24Vdc nom.) and has dimensions of H127mm x W44mm x D114mm. The housing is made from aluminium and plastic, with connection types including 2 ControlNet channel connectors, 1 9-pin D-sub female connector for Modbus Plus, 1 2-poles 5.08mm plug-in screw connector for power (X3), 1 USB connector (X4), and 1 NAP connector. It offers an IP20 and NEMA 1 degree of protection, supports DIN rail mounting, and communicates via ControlNet and Modbus Plus protocols. The ambient air temperature for operation ranges from -25 to +65°C, with a current consumption of 400mA (24Vdc; max.) and 200mA (typical). Storage temperature tolerance is between -40 and +85°C. The speed capabilities are 5Mbit/s for ControlNet and 1Mbit/s for Modbus Plus, and it can operate in 5-95% relative humidity (RH; non-condensing).
