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 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.
