HMS Industrial Networks acquires IXXAT Automation

Crouzet and HMS present joint solution for monitoring the Millenium 3 logic controller over the web

SVIA in Sweden use Anybus X-gateways to connect their DeviceNet-based robot cells to any network that their customers are using.

New technology from HMS enables network connectivity for high-performance applications

High performance, real-time industrial Ethernet, and multiple form factors (Chips, Bricks and Modules) are key elements of HMS’s new, expanded Anybus CompactCom offering. The new generation provides device manufacturers with full solution flexibility.

Jörgen Palmhager and Leif Malmberg at HMS Industrial Networks take you behind the scenes of the next generation of industrial communication technology.

HMS Industrial Networks now releases a series of Anybus CompactCom modules equipped with M12 connectors. This enables network connectivity for machinery which operates in wet, dusty, or otherwise demanding industrial environments. Networks are initially PROFIBUS, PROFINET, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP and EtherCAT.

HMS Industrial Networks has released a series of new Anybus X-gateways that enable communication between several industrial networks and PROFINET IRT. The new X-gateways can connect PROFIBUS and CANopen to PROFINET IRT with fibre-optics, and ControlNet, EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet to PROFINET IRT with copper cabling. The new X-gateways help plant owners and machine builders to migrate to PROFINET without making changes to their existing machinery.

HMS Industrial Networks has delivered its two-millionth Anybus^® module. The product was shipped to Atlas Copco Tools in Sweden who needed to connect one of their control systems to EtherNet/IP.

HMS now releases a solution which enables communication between M-Bus and any industrial network. M-Bus is a widely used standard for measuring devices such as electricity meters, gas meters, water meters etc. Getting data from these devices onto an industrial network enables plant owners to get better control of their total energy consumption and streamline operations.
