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 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. 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 DeviceNet Master interface can act both as a Master/Scanner and/or Adapter/Slave. The entire DeviceNet protocol is implemented into the module. The module manages control of up to 63 DeviceNet slaves. Full DeviceNet configuration can be defined and loaded into the Anybus-M module via the HMS configuration software NetTool-DN (included free of charge) or via Rockwell´s RSNetWorx.
