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 Profibus DP/DPV1 slave interface is implemented according to the standard IEC61158 as a modular slave, supporting all standard functionality such as Watchdog, Sync and Freeze and diagnostics. Including I&M functions. Standard DP as well as DPV1 acyclic data services (Class1/Class2) are supported. The Profibus interface module is certified by the Profibus user organization and has proven conformance and interoperability with leading PLC´s, HMI´s etc. Profibus address is set via rotary switches 0-99.

The Interbus 2MBit/s interface with a Fiber Optic bus-interface is an important complement to the standard module for copper based cabling. The Fiber Optic module is based on the OPC chipset from Pheonix, which gives support for optical diagnostics. This means the unit has a high EMC immunity and also a very low EMC emission. The Interbus interface 2Mbit/s module is a slave node that can be read from/written to by an Interbus master. Interbus has two ways of exchanging data; one through fast cyclical I/O data called ?Process Data?, and one through a somewhat slower protocol called PCP, which is mainly used for configuration purposes. It supports Interbus PCP V2.0. The module supports up to 10 words of data on the bus, out of which up to four words can be used for PCP.
