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 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 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 baudrate 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 the 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.
Modbus/TCP is also supported with “Read Data” functions.

The LonWorks interface is a high performance interface to LonWorks networks. The interface supports LonMark objects handling. The required network variables on the LonWorks side can be configured and stored in FLASH. It is based on MIP that allows high throughput and a configurable set of up to 256 input and 256 output network variables. The interface can, via the “LWtool” PC-based configuration utility program, link, and convert data between the other network side and devices located on a LonWorks Network. The LonWorks side of the product can be configured for any type of network variable e.g. SNVT’s or UNVT?s.
