4. About Anybus Communicator

4.1. How the Communication Works

Figure 1. Process data traffic overview

The Communicator enables communication between a Master device connected to a EtherNet/IP network and a
Master device connected to a Modbus TCP network.

The Master device can, for example, be a PLC control system or a Gateway.

The Communicator main task is to transfer cyclic I/O data between the two networks.
