Product Description

Ethernet/IP Scanner/Master – Profinet IO Device Industrial Network Gateway

The Anybus X-industrial network 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 Anybus OPC Server is supported and included with this X-gateway. It enables fast and dynamic transfer of fieldbus data to and from e.g. SCADA/HMI/Enterprice level systems based on Microsoft Windows. 

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 Profinet IO interface is a complete solution for a Profinet IO slave Device. The module is based on the Siemens Profinet IO software technology.
The Profinet IO baud rate is 100Mbit/s (full duplex). The IP-address and additional IP-settings is easily configured with the Anybus IPconfig utility for Windows. Additional ways to set the IP-address are either via DHCP or Profinet configuration tool. Four diagnostic LEDs will continuously indicate the actual Profinet IO status and possible error messages. The Profinet IO interface uses a normal RJ45 connector for the bus connection.
IT-functions like WEB-server, E-mail client, FTP-server are also supported. The IT functions can be used simultaneously with the Profinet IO communication.
