AB7972-F HMS Networks Industrial Automation Components

Anybus by HMS Networks AB7972-F is a gateway within the X-gateway series designed for protocol translation. It functions as a PROFINET-IRT Fiber Optic device and supports installation in vertical or flat positions with galvanic isolation on both BUS/Ethernet sides. Configuration is facilitated via a USB port using the Anybus Configuration Manager software. This device features 10 LED indicators for monitoring fieldbus, sub-network, and device status. It operates on a supply voltage of 19.2-28.8Vdc (24Vdc nominal) and has dimensions of H127mm x W44mm x D114mm. The housing is made from aluminium and plastic, ensuring compatibility with various industrial environments. Connection options include 4 x SC-RJ fiber optic network LAN connectors, 1 x 2-poles 5.08mm plug-in screw connector for power, and 1 x USB connector. It offers an IP20 and NEMA 1 degree of protection and is designed for DIN rail mounting. The communication protocol supported is PROFINET, with an operational ambient air temperature range of -25 to +65°C and a storage temperature range of -40 to +85°C. The current consumption is 400mA (max) and 200mA (typical) at 24Vdc, with a communication speed of 100Mbit/s. It is designed to operate in environments with 5-95% relative humidity (non-condensing).
