Anybus is described as the world’s most widely used product family for industrial network connectivity. It provides a gateway to allow communication between a number of devices and networks.

All models in the GENESYS+™ series of programmable power supplies have an optional interface location on the rear panel in which various communication interface modules based on the Anybus CompactCom platform can be factory installed at time of ordering. 

Modbus-TCP (option code MDBS)

The Modbus protocol is used for serial transmission of information between electronic devices for the supervision and control of automation equipment. This GENESYS+™ option allows users to remotely program, measure and check status of the power supply by sending information using a TCP/IP protocol over a Modbus-TCP network via two RJ45 connectors.

EtherCAT (option code ECAT)

EtherCAT is an industry standard version of Ethernet for control automation technology. It offers more functional safety, flexibility, ease of use, lower cost and faster response times. The EtherCAT option can be used to remotely program, measure and check status of the power supply over an EtherCAT network via two RJ45 connectors.
