Product Description

The Ethernet/IP Scanner/Master – ModbusTCP Slave/Server 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 Modbus-TCP interface consists of an embedded ModbusTCP 10/100 Mbit/s 2-port Ethernet interface with IT functionality such as WEB-server, SSI-scripts, Flash file system, FTP-server, Email client, Telnet etc. It is possible to build web pages displaying and controlling a factory floor process with data from the other connected network. The EtherNet/ModbusTCP interface module is certified by the Univeristy of Michigan and has proven conformance and interoperability with leading PLC´s, HMI´s etc. The 2-port Ethernet interface will allow daisy chaining thus removes the need for any external switch.
