Description 5 (16) 2 Description 2.1 Introduction The Anybus X-gateway consists of two Anybus fieldbus or Ethernet network interface modules and an intelligent gateway platform which transfers data between the two networks. The X-gateway can be configured via a USB port using a Windows-based application, Anybus Configuration Manager. The on-board network interfaces are normally configured from the respective networks, using third-party configuration tools. Fig.
Description 2.2 6 (16) Data Exchange Fig. 2 Anybus X-gateway data exchange The terminology and definitions used for different types of data vary between different network types. Most networks distinguish between fast, cyclical I/O data, and less time-critical acyclic data. In the Anybus X-gateway these types of data are generally referred to respectively as I/O Data and Parameter Data.
Description 7 (16) 2.3 Status and Diagnostics 2.3.1 Status Word Runtime status and diagnostic information can be provided through the Status Word, which (if enabled) takes up the first two bytes of the output area (data to the network). The Status Word is disabled by default and must be enabled for each network separately through Anybus Configuration Manager.
Description 2.3.2 8 (16) Live List (Master Configurations Only) The Live List provides the active status of the slaves associated with an on-board network interface acting as master. The list is assembled by the master interface and forwarded to the other network each gateway cycle. The Live List functionality is disabled by default and must be enabled for the master interface through Anybus Configuration Manager.
Description 2.4 9 (16) Controlling the X-gateway from the Network Some functions in the X-gateway can be controlled from the network by setting the corresponding bits in the Control Word, which (if enabled) takes up the first two bytes of the input area (data coming from the network). The Control Word is disabled by default and must be enabled for each network separately via Anybus Configuration Manager. When enabled, specific actions may be required in order for the X-gateway to start exchanging data.
Description 2.6 10 (16) Data Mapping Examples Usage of the Control Word, Status Word and Live List affect how data is mapped to the network interfaces in the Anybus X-gateway. The following generic examples describe typical configurations. The actual representation of data on the network is highly network-specific and is described in the documentation for the respective interface. Typical Slave-to-Slave Gateway Configuration Fig.
Installation 11 (16) 3 Installation 3.1 DIN Rail Mount The unit is designed to be mounted on a standard DIN rail. No tools are needed. The unit must be electrically grounded through the DIN rail for EMC compliance. Make sure that the unit is correctly mounted on the rail and that the rail is properly grounded. Fig. 5 DIN rail mount Sideways mounting The unit can alternatively by mounted sideways on the DIN rail. A T10 Torx screwdriver is needed to reposition the DIN clip. Fig. 6 Sideways mount 1.
Installation 3.2 12 (16) Connectors and Indicators Fig. 7 3.2.1 Connectors Power Connector (X3) Connecting power with reverse polarity or using the wrong type of power supply may damage the equipment. Make sure that the power supply is connected correctly and of the recommended type. Pin 1 2 3.2.2 USB Connector (X4) Pin 1 2 3 4 Housing 3.2.
Anybus Configuration Manager 4 Anybus Configuration Manager 4.1 Introduction 13 (16) The Anybus X-gateway usually requires only a minimum of configuration during setup, since the on-board network interfaces are configured from the respective networks. Some parameters in the gateway may however need to be adjusted to suit specific networks and applications. The gateway settings are accessed via the USB port of the X-gateway using the Windows-based application Anybus Configuration Manager.
Anybus Configuration Manager 4.2 14 (16) Setup 1. Download Anybus Configuration Manager and Anybus Transport Provider from www.anybus.com/support. 2. Unzip the contents of each archive in a folder on your computer and double-click on the setup executable, then follow the instructions in the installation wizard. 3. Connect a USB cable between the computer and the USB port on the X-gateway. 4. Start Anybus Configuration Manager and select Online > Select Connection. Fig. 9 5.
