Compatible with all leading PLC manufacturers
X-gateways are tested and proven with all leading manufacturers of PLCs such as, Siemens, Allen Bradley, Schneider Electric, Mitsubishi, ABB, Omron, Hitachi, Beckhoff, Pheonix Contact, Bosch Rexroth and more.

Easy installation - No programming required!
No programming skills are needed to set up the X-gateways as they contain a built-in configuration interface. As factory default the X-gateways have a pre-defined I/O size of 20 bytes I/O. In addition to the built-in configuration interface, versions containing a master interface require the usage of an appropriate master configuration tool.

Fast transparent data transfer between the two networks
The X-gateway''s primary focus is with the transfer of cyclic I/O data between two networks. In additions and depending on network combinations, also acyclic parameter data can be transferred. ( eg. SDO, DPV1, PCP, or Explicit messaging ) The use of parameter data enriches the functionality of the gateway and allows for the transfer
of time uncritical blocks of data between the two networks. The X-gateway can also mix parameter and I/O data to
allow a very flexible interconnection between the two networks.

Example 1: Master/Slave combination when only ONE Master/Scanner PLC/Controller is used in the installation.
This example uses a Siemens PLC running Profibus. The Anybus X-gateway is used to integrate a group of DeviceNet-connected automation devices into the central control of the Siemens PLC. The X-gateway functions as a slave on the Profibus network and a scanner on the DeviceNet network.

Example 2: Slave/Slave combination when TWO Master/Scanner PLC/Controllers are used in the installation.
In this example, a newly-installed part of the plant based on an Allen Bradley PLC running EtherNet/IP as the top level network, is inte-connected with an existing part of the plant based on a Modicon PLC running Modbus. Both network interfaces of the X-gateway have slave functionality. The two PLCs are controlling the flow of data through the gateway by writing/reading data into/from the gateway.

Example 1 - Master / Slave

Example 2 - Slave / Slave

Connecting two networks of the same type. eg. ( Profibus >< Profibus )
In this scenario, the X-gateway is used to interconnect two installations both using the same type of network. This can either be a fieldbus network or an industrial Ethernet network.

Using the X-gateway in this scenario allows to interconnect the two installations even in those cases when they are using different transmission speeds. Another benefit of this type of application is that the two installations can be logically and physically de-coupled from each other without losing the capability to transfer selected data between the two installations.

Finally, X-gateways can also be used as a logical extension when the maximum allowed number of devices to be connected exceeds the limitations of the network.

Connecting two different networks. eg. ( Modbus-TCP >< DeviceNet )
In this scenario the X-gateway is used to interconnect two installations based on different networks. A very typical scenario is to interconnect traditional fieldbus installations with modern industrial Ethernet networks. Another common application is connecting two different PLC installations via their different fieldbus/Ethernet networks.

X-gateways can bridge the PLC worlds of Siemens, Rockwell, Schneider Electric, Mitsubishi, Beckhoff and Pheonix Contact etc.

Easy configuration - No programming required! No programming skills are needed to set up the X-gateway as defined in the above steps. As factory default the X-gateways have a pre-defined I/O size of 20 bytes I/O. The configuration of the X-gateway is made via the in-built configuration interface. For this purpose, a PC with an installed terminal program (eg. Windows™ Hyper Terminal) is connected via a serial RS-232 cable to the config port of the X-gateway. The easy-to-use configuration software allows you to define the I/O data sizes on each network side and to define the mapping and data splitting between cyclic I/O data and parameter data.

Configuring a Master/Slave combination
The configuration of the X-gateway is made in two steps. Firstly the amount of I/O and parameter data as well as the mapping of the data between the two networks is defined by using the in-built configuration interface. Secondly, the network Master interface needs to be configured by using the appropriate master configuration tool such as Anybus NetTool or RSNetworx™ for CIP based networks.

Configuring the Ethernet network side of the X-gateway
If you have chosen an X-gateway with at least one Ethernet-based interface ( Modbus-TCP, EtherNet/IP or Profinet-IO), this Ethernet-based network interface needs to be configured regarding its IP address settings. For this purpose, the X-gateways has an built-in webpage that allows easy definition of the Ethernet address and parameter settings.

In case that you do not know your current IP address settings, HMS provides the free software "Anybus-IP Config Tool" which can be downloaded from the support section of this website.

IT Functions with Ethernet versions X-gateway versions supporting the Industrial Ethernet protocols Modbus-TCP, EtherNet/IP, Profinet, support industrial IT functions in addition to the real-time data transfer. These IT functions provide a dynamic Web server, with SSI functions, client side Java scripts and applets, and FTP & File access permissions. IT functions can be used to design and display fully customized web pages for diagnostic, control or maintenance purposes. The IT functions also allow the definition of alarm values that are used to send an email to a pre-defined recipient in-case of the alarm value is reached.

A webserver provides useful status & diagnostic information.

Anybus OPC Server
With the "OPC Connectivity Feature" of the Anybus X-gateways, PC based OPC-Client applications can access fieldbus data via standard Ethernet networks.

The Anybus OPC Server enables any PC-based OPC DA client application to access data of distributed field devices located in a fieldbus network without the need for a PCI fieldbus interface card. The connection between the PC in the control room and the field devices in the plant is established via existing Ethernet networks and the Anybus X-gateway.

In this concept, the X-gateway functions similar to a fieldbus PCI interface card. While the PCI card is located inside the PC in the control room, the X-gateway can be located directly on site and the expensive fieldbus cabling between the production line in the plant and the control room is eliminated. This saves installation cost and improves the flexibility.

The new “OPC Connectivity” feature is available for most Ethernet versions of the X-gateway family. Typical applications include OPC-based SCADA systems with remote visualization and control. The Anybus OPC server supports OPC Data Access (DA) v1.0, 2.05, 3.0. Key features include access to process data, an OPC tag editor and an online viewer/editor with read / write access to tag data.

The Anybus OPC server is tailor-made for use with the Anybus X-gateways and PCI cards. It is available free of charge for download from this website.
