Fig. 1 Data flow Data from the X-gateway can consist of cyclical (DP) and acyclical (DP-V1) I/O data. The interface can exchange up to 244 bytes of I/O data in each direction, although the total data size (input + output) cannot exceed 344 bytes. The actual byte sizes of input and output data and the amount of cyclical versus acyclical I/O data are set up in Anybus Configuration Manager to match the application.

• PROFIBUS cable • GSD file for the PROFIBUS slave interface The GSD file can be downloaded from www.anybus.com/support. Basic installation steps Set the PROFIBUS node address using the rotary switches. Connect the PROFIBUS slave interface to the network. Connect a computer to the USB connector.
This file contains information about the device and is required by the PROFIBUS network configuration tool when adding the device to the network. The GSD file for the Anybus X-gateway PROFIBUS Slave Interface as well as a free Windows- based PROFIBUS network configuration tool called Anybus NetTool are available for download at www.anybus.com/support, where you will also find additional documentation.
Depending on the actual gateway configuration, parts of the I/O data produced by the interface may be used for status information such as Status Word and Live List. The Live List is only available on master-slave configurations. See also the Anybus X-gateway User Manual. Output Data is data going to the X-gateway.
