General Information
The Anybus CompactCom B40 Modbus Serial is a communication solution for simple industrial
field devices. The host application communicates with the product using the Modbus RTU
protocol. The Anybus CompactCom B40 Modbus Serial then communicates the data to the
network. Typical applications are basic level I/O blocks, temperature controllers, measuring
devices, and sensors.
The Anybus CompactCom B40 Modbus Serial software interface is designed to be network
protocol independent, making it possible to support several networking systems using the same
application software code/driver.
The Anybus CompactCom B40 Modbus Serial share footprint and electrical interface with the
other members of the product family, independent of fieldbus or network. The host application
connector provides an interface between the host application (Modbus RTU) and the Anybus
CompactCom, while the network connector provides access to the chosen network. The Anybus
CompactCom acts as a Modbus RTU slave on the host application side.
The Anybus CompactCom 40 family offers a wide range of functionality. For advanced products and
applications, we recommend the standard Anybus CompactCom 40.
