HMS Networks introduces the Raspberry Pi Adapter Board - further simplifying integration of the Anybus CompactCom

HMS Networks introduces the Raspberry Pi Adapter Board. This offers industrial device builders a simplified method for testing and evaluating the Anybus CompactCom, a turnkey communications interface that connects devices to any industrial network. While previous adapter boards were designed for testing Anybus CompactCom modules with STM32 or NXP (formerly Freescale) microcontroller platforms, this new adapter board is made specifically for use with the Raspberry Pi.

The new adapter board offers:

Compatibility with the widely popular Raspberry Pi.
Easy installation and use.
Full compatibility with the free downloadable Anybus Host Application Example Code (HAEC).

Andreas Stillborg, Anybus Embedded Product Manager at HMS Networks, explains:

"The Raspberry Pi is incredibly popular, over 45 million units are used worldwide. Many of our customers already have a Raspberry Pi and are familiar with it. Therefore, we were eager to develop an adapter board that would allow our customers to easily use the Raspberry Pi for testing and evaluation of Anybus CompactCom."

The Raspberry Pi adapter board is fully compatible with the free downloadable Anybus Host Application Example Code (HAEC). This code contains a reference port designed for the Raspberry Pi, which customers use along with the adapter board and a Anybus CompactCom module can quickly start their embedded development project.

"We are excited about this new adapter board because it allows our customers to get up and running quickly and become familiar with our Anybus CompactCom offer," concludes Andreas Stillborg.
