The Anybus CompactCom 30-series concept was introduced in 2005 and is based on the NP30
processor from HMS Industrial Networks AB. The concept supports various fieldbuses and in-
dustrial Ethernet networks. The Anybus CompactCom 30-series fieldbus and industrial Ethernet
solutions today offer a good level of performance and is used by many customers.
2.2 Upgrade to the 40-Series
During 2013, HMS Industrial Networks AB introduced the new Anybus CompactCom 40-series
which presented a high performance solution with very low latency, extended APIs, and the abil-
ity to meet the future demands of industrial networking. In addition to the new APIs, the Anybus
CompactCom 40-series supports the same APIs as the 30series, offering a possibility to enable
present Anybus CompactCom 30 applications an easy upgrade to the latest technology.
2.3 Access to Real-time Ethernet, IIoT and Advanced Security
Features
The Anybus CompactCom 40-series is based on the NP40 processor which is the foundation
for the high performance and extended functions offered by the 40-series. Future technologies
and demands of advanced network functions, IIoT solutions, and advanced security features will
be incorporated in the Anybus CompactCom 40-series.
2.4 Recommendations from HMS Industrial Networks AB
For new designs the Anybus CompactCom 40-series is the recommended platform for commu-
nication, but the compatibility between the two series enables usage of both series in one prod-
uct. This document describes the differences between the CompactCom 30-series and the
CompactCom 40-series in order to add guidance on how to modify an existing product to sup-
port the latest 40-series modules in addition to existing 30-series support.
