4. About Anybus Communicator
4.1. How the Communicaon Works
Figure 1. Process data trac overview
The Communicator enables communicaon between a Master device connected to a PROFINET network and a
Master device connected to a EtherCAT network.
The Master device can, for example, be a PLC control system or a Gateway.
The Communicator main task is to transfer cyclic I/O data between the two networks.
Anybus® Communicator™ - PROFINET IO-Device to EtherCAT Slave About Anybus Communicator
Page 6 of 56 SCM-1202-193 Version 1.0

4.2. How the Data Exchange Works
Figure 2. The Communicator internal memory areas
The data exchanged between the Communicator and the PROFINET and the EtherCAT resides in the
Communicator internal memory buer.
The Communicator internal memory buer is divided into two areas: Input data and Output data.
Input Data
This Input data area is read by the EtherCAT.
The Communicator can handle up to 1486 bytes input data.
Output Data
The Output data area is read/wrien by the PROFINET.
The Communicator can handle up to 1024 bytes output data.
4.3. Data Integrity
A snapshot of the process data buer between the PROFINET/EtherCAT Client and the server interface is used
during the operaon of execung all the transacons within one cycle.
When the cycle is completed, the process data available on the server interface is updated and a new snapshot is
created for the next cycle.
