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 re-
spective networks, using third-party configuration tools.
