Embedded Powerlink slave interface
Anybus CompactCom B40 Powerlink brick for PCB-assembly
Add your own connectors and peripherals
The B40 Brick is a brick for PCB-assembly and gives you the flexibility to add your own connectors and network isolation. An alternative is to use the ready-made connector boards from HMS. The B40 Brick is ideal for embedded device manufacturers who are looking for a semi-integrated solution where connector flexibility, size and cost are key elements.
Interchangeable with other networks
By implementing the CompactCom B40 into your product line, you will have instant embedded access to any other industrial network by simply plugging in another Anybus brick .
Get real-time Powerlink communication
The Anybus CompactCom B40 enables fast communication between your device and the Powerlink network. The module comes with an integrated Ethernet hub implemented in the module's NP40 chip and supports multiplexing and PollResponse Chaining. It has a response time of 1μs (time from PollRequest to PollResponse) and a synchronization jitter of max. 1μs.
Features and benefits
- A ready-made embedded Powerlink slave interface for PCB assembly
- Easy mounting to your host PCB design
- Pre-certified for network compliance (enables faster network certification)
- Fast data transfer: Up to 1490 bytes of process data in each direction
- Very low latency
- Event-based interface method enables easy access to input and output data at any time
- Fast, event-based application hardware interfaces: 8/16-bit parallel and highspeed SPI. I/O (shift register interface) is also available
- IIoT ready: (EoE) Includes Email Client, Web server with customizable content, SSI functionality and FTP server
- Extended flash-based file system with two-disc access (internal and external)
- Transparent Socket Interface handling the complete Ethernet frame (support for 20 socket connections)
- Solid security: Mandatory software signatures prevent unauthorized software to be downloaded to the module. Furthermore, encryption is used to prevent illicit copying
- Short in-design with free assistance from Twincomm and HMS ensures a fast time to market
