HMS Industrial Networks Debuts Anybus CompactCom 40-Series

Since its inception, HMS Industrial Networks has been offering automation devices with connectivity to any fieldbus or industrial Ethernet network. The company has now released new Anybus CompactCom 40-series, with new technology backing it.


The Anybus CompactCom 40-series combines fieldbus network connectivity and high performance/real-time Industrial Ethernet in various form factors — chip, brick or module. This makes the 40-series particularly appropriate for high performing and demanding industrial applications.        

With its first release in April, the CompactCom 40-series supports all major industrial networks and connectivity to EtherCAT, POWERLINK, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET and PROFIBUS. The 40-series covers traditional fieldbuses and industrial Ethernet and works in harmony with high-performance applications such as servo drive systems, which require fast network cycles and synchronization capabilities.

Device manufacturers that choose to use CompactCom get access to all networks through one single development project, during which the user simply integrates the generic Anybus interface (hardware/software).

"With the Anybus CompactCom 40-series, we can offer a complete communication solution suitable for both general automation devices and high-performance applications,” says Leif Malmberg, Product Line Manager, Embedded at HMS. “Users get the performance and accuracy they need for demanding applications, and the flexibility to adapt to different networks by simply downloading a new firmware," he added.

The CompactCom 40-series in Chip, Brick and Module formats is supported with new, powerful Anybus NP40 network processor which supports all major industrial networks. Anybus NP40 enables optimized infrastructure solutions like high-performance Ethernet switches with on-the-fly processing and cut-through switching with very low latencies. The award-winning processor enables very fast data transfer between user’s machine and the network.

HMS Industrial Networks is an independent supplier of embedded network technology for automation devices. The company develops and manufactures its products at the head office in Halmstad, Sweden. Local sales and support is provided by the HMS branch offices in Chicago, Beijing, Karlsruhe, Milan, Mulhouse and Tokyo.
