Anybus X-gateway - Modbus TCP Client -
PROFIBUS Slave
The Anybus X-gateway allows you to seamlessly inter-connect PLC control systems and their
connected devices between Modbus TCP and PROFIBUS 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
Slave on the PROFIBUS network and as a full Master/Client on the Modbus TCP network. The data
transmission between the two networks is completely transparent with a maximum I/O data
capacity of 256 bytes in each direction.
EASY CONFIGURATION - NO PROGRAMMING REQUIRED!
Configuration is made via Ethernet and a built-in web page. The configuration page is used to
configure Ethernet TCP/IP settings, Modbus TCP client/server configuration and I/O data size
transfer between Modbus TCP and the chosen network.
Features and benefits
Fast copying of cyclic I/O data between a Modbus TCP and a PROFIBUS network (5 ms)
Allows for the integration of Modbus TCP based server/slave devices into other PLC control systems
Fulll Modbus TCP Client/Master functionality, eliminates the need for an PLC controller on the Modbus TCP network
Connects up to 64 Modbus Servers/Slave devices
Max I/O data capacity of 256 bytes in each direction
Possibility to build web pages displaying and controlling a factory floor process with data from the other connected network
