ANC-300e multiple fieldbus and ethernet protocols in one gateway
ANC-300e: any combination of ethernet to rs-485 / ethernet to ethernet protocol conversion. $525 usd list.
(modbus rtu, ethernet/ip, modbus/tcp, profinet io, bacnet ms/tp, bacnet/ip, cc-link & many more )
The ANC-300e has the combined performance as an Ethernet and RS-485 serial converter. The gateway behaves like a protocol converter/translator that allows difficult data interchanges and connections between incompatible networks.  Protocols include:
RS485 serial Protocols:
Modbus Sniffer, A.O. Smith AIN, A.O. Smith PDNP, BACnet MS/TP Client, BACnet MS/TP Server, TCS Basys Master, MSA Chillgard Monitor, DMX 512-Master, DMX-512 Slave, M-Bus Master, Metasys N2 Master, Metasys N2 Slave, Siemens FLN Master, Siemens FLN Slave, Sullair Master, Toshiba ASD Master, Toshiba PLC Master.
Ethernet Protocols:
Ethernet/IP Client/Server, AB CSP Ethernet Client/Server, Modbus TCP/IP, Profinet IO, BACnet/IP BBMD, BACnet/IP Client, BACnet/IP Server, Baumer VeriSens Client, CC-Link IE SLMP Client, MELSEC Client/Server, Generic Socket Client/Server & GreenFumeHood Client.
ANC-300e is an easily configurable Ethernet / RS-485 converter gateway, that provides integrated communication between all the above common industrial and commercial communication networks. As part of the ANC Gateway Converter Series, the ANC-300e provides a common platform which is convenient and easy to setup in all products.
ANC-300e Technical Overview
The Automation Networks ANC-300e provides an IEEE 802.3 10/100BaseT Ethernet port and an RS-485 port (4-wire terminal block style). The Ethernet port allows standard CAT5-type 8-conductor unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) patch cables and allows multiple protocols to communication at the same time. The RS-485 port supports multiple protocols.
The ANC-300e alarming systems allows up to twenty individually-configurable, with email notifications. It has the ability to program a configurable network timeout action which provides a fail safe condition for each database address in case of a network interruption. You can easily construct complex data conditioning functions with  PLC-style logical, arithmetic and filtering database manipulation operations.
The embedded web server provides remote monitoring as well as a dashboard composed of a variety of gauges, meters and graphs that can be configured to provide an at-a-glance graphical overview of critical application variables in real-time.
ANC Gateway Easy-to-Use Commonality
The Automation Networks ANC-300e is a member of all the ANC Gateway Series product family. Members of this family are designed to provide a uniform interface, configuration and application experience. This commonality reduces the user’s learning curve, reducing commissioning time while simplifying support.
The ANC-300e Gateway Converter Series Features Include:
The ANC-300e converter provides a similiar, single platform configuration experience in all ANC Gateway Converters.  The setup is performed using the Microsoft Windows®-based ANC Configuration Studio, in which users can do the following:
- Setup protocols, network parameters, and object definitions of the client/server.
- Use the grapics with the real-time internal database.
- Automatically update device firmware
- Define autonomous elements such as database logic, email alarms and object failsafe values
- Capture, display and save serial network traffic with microsecond-precision timestamps
The ANC-300e Gateway incorporates a variety of leading-edge automation and IT technologies, such as:
- USB connectivity with virtual COM port support
- 10/100Base-T Ethernet port
- Power can be applied three different ways: via the USB cable (for configuration at a workstation), as a 7-24VDC input on the main terminal block, or via IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet / PoE (no need for a local power supply!)
- Internal operations managed by a pair of powerful 32-bit processors
- Autonomous alarm evaluation with email notification
- Real-time web browser-based interaction via an Adobe® Flash Player plug-in. This includes support for database interaction and a dashboard GUI with multiple windows, each of which can be configured to display data in a variety of meter/graph/gauge formats
- User-configurable network timeout behaviors
- 2-wire / 4-wire RS-485 network supports baud rates up to 115.2kbaud
- Desktop, panel/wall and DIN-rail mountable (all hardware included)
- PLC-style logical, arithmetic, trigonometric and filtering database manipulation operations allow the construction of complex data conditioning functions
