Anybus® X-gateway - PROFIBUS Master - Modbus TCP Server AB7629

The Anybus X-gateway allows you to seamlessly inter-connect PLC control systems and their connected devices between PROFIBUS and Modbus TCP networks.

FAST COPYING OF I/O DATA

The X-gateways primary function is with the fast transfer of cyclic I/O data between the two networks. This offloads your PLC from working with additional calculations. The gateway acts as a Master on the PROFIBUS network and a Server on the Modbus TCP network. The data transmission is completely transparent with a maximum data capacity of 512 bytes in each direction.

EASY CONFIGURATION - NO PROGRAMMING REQUIRED!

The connection between the two networks is quickly set up in the Anybus Configuration Manager software, included with the X-gateway. No programming skills are needed to set up the X-gateway. As factory default the X-gateways have a pre-defined I/O size of 20 bytes I/O.



PROFIBUS Master/Scanner interface

  • An Anybus X-gateway with an integrated PROFIBUS Master interface can be used when there is no existing PROFIBUS controlling PLC.
  • Complete Profibus DP Master functionality according to IEC 61158
  • Controls up to 125 slaves
  • Optional Live List of the active status of the connected slaves
  • Maximum 512 bytes of I/O data in each direction
  • Supports all baudrates up to 12Mbit/s
  • Profibus Master/Slave configuration via the included Anybus Configuration Manager Windows tool via an RS-232 configuration port
  • 1x D-Sub9 Male and 1x D-Sub9 Female connector


Modbus TCP Slave interface

  • Modbus TCP Slave settings can be made either via the built-in web interface, or by importing the provided .EDS file into engineering tool of the controlling PLC.
  • Conforms to Modbus TCP v1.0
  • Modbus TCP class 0, class 1 and partially class 2 slave functionality
  • 10/100Mbit operation in full or half-duplex
  • Integrated FTP server provides easy file management using standard FTP clients
  • Web server with dynamic data capability and Server Side Include (SSI) capability
  • Email client with dynamic data capability and Event-triggered email handling
  • Per-user security framework
  • Quality of Service (QoS) available
  • DNS Capability
  • TCP/IP settings via DHCP/ARP/Anybus IPconfig (HICP)
  • Integrated switch allowing for a daisy-chain topology
  • 2x RJ-45 ports available simultaneously.
