Embedded Common Ethernet Module slave interface

Anybus CompactCom M40 Common Ethernet Module plug-in module

The Anybus CompactCom M40 for Common Ethernet is a complete embedded Industrial Ethernet communication plug-in modul which enables your products to communicate on an Common Ethernet network. The module acts as a Common Ethernet slave interface and supports fast communication speeds, making it suitable also for high-end industrial devices.

Interchangeable with other networks

By implementing the CompactCom concept into your product line, you will have instant embedded access to any other industrial network by simply plugging in another Anybus module .

Get real-time Common Ethernet communication

The Anybus CompactCom M40 enables fast communication between your device and the Common Ethernet network. The industrial ethernet-protocols PROFINET, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, Powerlink and CC-Link IE Field are via firmware-download available. The module supports generic device profiles and comes with a dual port switch implemented in the network processor — the award-winning Anybus NP40. With its fast data transfer and very low latency, it's the perfect match for even the most demanding industrial applications.

Features and benefits

  • A complete, interchangeable embedded Common Ethernet slave interface plug-in module with connectors
  • Pre-certified for network compliance (enables faster network certification)
  • Fast data transfer: Up to 1500 bytes of process data in each direction, Up to 1500 bytes of explicit messaging
  • 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

Common Ethernet Slave Interface

  • Supports PROFINET, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, Powerlink and CC-Link IE Field via firmaware-download (only one protocol at the same time)
  • Per required protocol a license is needed
  • See other M40 versions for specific network features available through Anybus CompactCom
