The Anybus X-gateway allows you to seamlessly inter-connect PLC control systems and their connected devices between CC-Link and POWERLINK 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/Device on both networks. The data transmission is completely transparent with a maximum data capacity of 254 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.

• Fast copying of cyclic I/O data between the two networks (10-15 ms)
• Supports up to a maximum of 512 bytes of PDO + SDO Input and Output data in each direction
• Supports up to a maximum of 254 bytes of PDO Input and Output data in each direction
• Fast, dynamic transfer of fieldbus data to e.g. SCADA/HMI/Enterprise level systems based on Microsoft Windows, via the included Anybus OPC server
• Optional control status information added to I/O data for diagnostic purposes
• Robust stand-alone housing for use in harsh industrial environments
• Global free technical support and consultancy
