The company, which is a world leader in biotechnology, is creating a new polyclonal antibody production site.This is an innovative production facility: the process has been automated as far as possible, to reduce human error in the many stages of the process (separation, purification, filtration, ultrafiltration, haemadsorption etc.).This involves being able to interface with a battery of very mixed laboratory equipment, which was not initially designed to communicate with fieldbuses. Genzyme has used about thirty HMS Anybus Communicator gateways, to enable consistent SCADA management across all the devices in use. Benefits are as much in terms of quality as in production costs.

FLSmidth, a world leader in Electrostatic Precipitator technology, develops advanced pollution control systems in order to comply with the stringent industrial standards. Particle removal efficiency is controlled in real time by sophisticated micro processor based voltage controls. FLSmidth decided to integrate HMS’s communication system to inform their users of the status of the air pollution control equipment. Because they were able to implement this interface with a standard and an easily integrated solution, they selected HMS Industrial Networks.

The Anybus Communicator gateways now enable integration of industrial devices which support the Rockwell Automation DF1 protocol to fieldbus and Industrial Ethernet networks!

The new 1 SI CANopen extension module for the SIMATIC ET200S I/O system connects CAN 2.0A and CANopen devices with the SIMATIC world.

Baldor Electric Company has upgraded its range of smart drives with HMS. This range is now able to communicate with a PLC, it is much more open to communication standards and its communication interfaces are consistent throughout the entire range.

The new embedded communication module reduces development efforts by up to 70%, speeds up time-to-market and minimizes development risk.

New EtherNet/IP module with integrated switch reduces infrastructure cost and eliminates the need for external switches.

Simple to use intelligent Gateway connects Schneider Electric, ABB or GE PLC’s with Siemens automation systems and networks .

Embedded CANopen interface reduces development efforts up to 70%.

HMS extends its gateway family with 3 new versions enabling easy integration of existing fieldbus networks into new bus type wired Profinet installations
