Hello Alex! Yes it is similar. The difference is that this device is configured via an AOP (Add-On Profile) in Studio 5000 over the Ethernet/IP Interface instead of a PC software connecting on the configuration port of the Anybus Communicator Classic.
Is this Ethernet to Serial Linking device similar to the Anybus Communicator?
