What is Anybus?
Just as the name suggests, Anybus products enable industrial devices to communicate with fieldbus or industrial Ethernet network — wired or wirelessly. Anybus is manufactured and marketed by HMS Networks and is today the world’s most widely used product family for industrial network connectivity.
Where is Anybus used?
Factory automation remains the main market for Anybus. Today, millions of robots, drives, sensors, HMIs, weight scales, etc. rely on Anybus communication.
As communication is becoming increasingly important in other areas such as buildings, vehicles, process plants and infrastructure, Anybus is venturing into new markets.
