In a 9mm square housing, the Anybus-IC contains a microprocessor with integrated Ethernet controller and a full-featured Profinet IO device software stack. The IC reduces the development efforts needed to design a Profinet IO interface by up to 70 percent, says the vendor. The Anybus-IC has a 32-pin dual in line housing and requires a single 5 Volt power supply. It functions as a standard IO device and supports Profinet conformance class A. Up to 144 bytes of input data and 144 bytes of output data are permitted.
