HMS recently launched the Raspberry Pi Adapter board, which provides industrial equipment manufacturers with a simplified way to test and evaluate the Anybus CompactCom module, an off-the-shelf communication interface that connects devices to any industrial network. While previous adapter boards were designed to test Anybus CompactCom modules using STM32 or NXP (formerly Freescale) microcontroller platforms, this new adapter board is customized for use with Raspberry Pi.
The new adapter board has the following features:
Compatible with the popular Raspberry Pi
Easy to install and use

S20330-SRS

Fully compatible with the free download Anybus Host Application Sample Code (HAEC)
Andreas Stillborg, Anybus Embedded Product Manager at HMS Industrial Networks, explains: “Raspberry Pi is extremely popular, with more than 45 million units used worldwide. Many of our customers are already using Raspberry Pi and are very familiar with it. So we developed an adapter board to make it easier for customers to test and evaluate Anybus CompactCom using the Raspberry Pi.”

The Raspberry Pi adapter board is fully compatible with the free download Anybus Host Application Sample Code (HAEC). The code includes a reference port designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi, which customers can use in combination with the adapter board and Anybus CompactCom module to jump-start their embedded development projects.

“We are excited to introduce this new adapter board as it allows our customers to quickly set up and familiarize themselves with the Anybus CompactCom product.” Andreas Stillborg concludes.
