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 EtherNet/IP network and a
Master device connected to a Modbus TCP 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™ - EtherNet/IP™ Adapter to Modbus TCP Server About Anybus Communicator
Page 6 of 56 SCM-1202-196 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 EtherNet/IP and the Modbus TCP 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 Modbus TCP.
The Communicator can handle up to 1500 bytes input data.
Output Data
The Output data area is read/wrien by the EtherNet/IP.
The Communicator can handle up to 1448 bytes output data.
4.3. Data Integrity
A snapshot of the process data buer between the EtherNet/IP/Modbus TCP 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.
