Product Description

The Anybus X-gateway copies I/O-data in both directions thus enabling data exchange between the two networks. Default I/O configuration is 20 bytes Input and 20 bytes Output. Changing default settings is very easy using the windows based configuration software Anybus Configuration Manager X-gateway from HMS (free of charge).

The EtherNet/IP Scanner interface supports connection of up to 64 adapters (slaves) at 10/100 Mbit/s. The module also supports IT functionality such as Web server, SSI-scripts, E-mail client and FTP-server. Ethernet settings are configurable through the built-in Web server or the software Anybus IP configuration utility from HMS. The Anybus X-gateway also has on board IP configuration switches. The EtherNet/IP interface module is certified by ODVA and has proven conformance and interoperability with leading PLC’s HMI’s etc. The configuration of the EtherNet/IP network is done with a built in web interface or with RS Networx from Rockwell.

The Modbus RTU Slave interface is implemented according to Modbus Protocol ref guide (PI-MBUS-300). All data is mapped to 3x and 4x Modbus areas meaning the Input Status and Output Register Word areas. The Modbus RTU standard baud rate is 19200 Bit/s but can be modified on the gateway between 1200 Bit/s to 57 600 Bit/s.
