Create your first configuration in Anybus Studio

This example shows how to create a basic Anybus Studio configuration for simulated communication between Modbus RTU and PROFINET on the Evaluation Board.

It includes values you can use directly to create a working configuration.

The configuration is the same as the pre-installed one on Anybus ONE SoM. You can also download it, see Example configuration: download and use.

For detailed information about Anybus Studio configuration, see Configuration workflow.

Before you begin

Create an Anybus Studio account and login. See also Create your Anybus Studio account.

Download configuration files and signing tool

Go to Finalize configuration and download the configuration files.

Finalize configuration page, Download options window
Figure 35. Finalize configuration page, Download options window


The download zip includes the unsigned configuration HIFF file, PROFINET GSDML file, and the Anybus ONE Signing tool.

See also Download configuration files.

Sign configuration HIFF file

Extract the configuration files (.zip) folder and run the AnybusONE-SigningTool.exe.

The unsigned HIFF file and the private and public key files are selected by default.

The preselected private key is an example key provided with the Anybus Studio output. In a production configuration, this key is replaced with a user-generated private key.

Click Sign.
