Anybus CompactCom 40 - PROFINET IRT Transparent
Ethernet
2. About the Anybus CompactCom 40 PROFINET IRT
2.1. General
The Anybus CompactCom 40 PROFINET IRT communication module provides instant PROFINET Real Time
connectivity via the patented Anybus CompactCom host interface. Any device that supports this standard can
take advantage of the features provided by the module, allowing seamless network integration regardless of
network type.
IMPORTANT
This network guide covers the Transparent Ethernet version of the product. Transparent Ethernet
has to be enabled during setup, or the device will appear as an Anybus CompactCom 40 with
full IT functionality. The IT functionality is described in the network guide for the standard Anybus
CompactCom 40.
IT functionality is not available when Transparent Ethernet is enabled.
This product conforms to all aspects of the host interface for Active modules defined in the Anybus CompactCom
Hardware- and Software Design Guides, making it fully interchangeable with any other device following that
specification. Generally, no additional network related software support is needed, however in order to take
advantage of advanced network specific functionality, a certain degree of dedicated software support may be
necessary.

2.3. Transparent Ethernet
Transparent Ethernet offers the possibility for a host application, that includes an IT implementation (web pages,
file system, a proprietary protocol etc.), to let the Anybus CompactCom handle an industrial Ethernet protocol (in
this case PROFINET), without the need for extra Ethernet ports.
