The gateway supports RS-232 through a 9-pole DSUB or RS-485 through the screw terminal block on the other side of the module. It supports 10/100Mbps Ethernet through a standard Ethernet connector (RJ-45). It can be configured via a web-interface or by using the free Anybus IPConfig utility. It also contains a Flash memory for easy software updates.The 9-pole DSUB, male connector on the Anybus module contains a fully equipped RS-232 interface.
This port can beused to connect to any equipment with an RS-232 interface. The gateway carries a screw terminal block with 12 contacts. Five of these can be used to connect to any equipment with an RS-485 interface.The IPConfig utility is a PC-based configuration utility to set TCP/IP network settings in the Anybus module. Anybus IP Config scans the Ethernet network for connected Anybus devices and lets the user set IP-address, net mask, gateway, DNS and host name for each unit.
