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 simple and is carried out using the RS232 configuration port and a standard terminal interface on a PC, such as Hyper Terminal for Windows.

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 interface consists of an embedded ModbusTCP 10/100 Mbit/s 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. It is built on a dedicated 32 bit RISC micro processor (+60 mips) ensuring fast and secure Ethernet performance. 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 high performance DeviceNet Slave interface provides instant connectivity to the DeviceNet network. The module conforms to DeviceNet 2.0. The DeviceNet interface module is certified by the ODVA and has proven conformance and interoperability with leading PLC´s, HMI´s etc. Baud rate and MAC ID can be set via DIP switches.
