Anybus® X-gateway™ Profibus Slave to DeviceNet Scanner

The X-gateway is a compact device for standard DIN rail mounting and requires a 24 Volt industrial power supply. It functions as a slave on the Profibus network and as a Scanner on the DeviceNet side. The DeviceNet Scanner functionality is configured with HMS´ Anybus NetTool for DeviceNet, a powerful but easy to use Windows-based configuration tool which comes free of charge with the X-gateway. After the initial configuration has been downloaded into the X-gateway, it passes up to 244 byte of input and 244 byte of output data via Profibus-DP and 512 bytes of Cyclic I/O via DP+DPV1, transparently between the two networks. Up to 63 DeviceNet slaves can be connected to the gateway. The DeviceNet Scanner interface can act both as a Scanner and/or Slave. The entire DeviceNet protocol is implemented in the gateway. Alternatively, RSNetworx™ for DeviceNet can also be used to configure the DeviceNet Scanner.The Anybus X-gateway family is a product line consisting of over 200 proven, robust and ready-to-use gateways aimed to connect almost every possible combination of two industrial networks. The product family supports 17 different fieldbus and industrial Ethernet networks such as Profibus, DeviceNet, CANopen, CC-Link, EtherNet/IP, Profinet and many more. All versions work the same way and provide a flexible standard solution to connect two industrial networks.
