Anybus X-gateway - Modbus TCP Client - EtherNet/IP Adapter

The Anybus X-gateway allows you to seamlessly inter-connect PLC control systems and their connected devices between Modbus TCP and Ethernet/IP 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 an Adapter on the EtherNet/IP 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 an EtherNet/IP 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
• SD memory card slot allows for backup, configuration and easy module replacement
• Robust stand-alone housing for use in harsh industrial environments
• Global free technical support and consultancy
