Overview

The Anybus X-gateway PROFINET IRT (2.32) is a multi purpose communication solution offering
industrial protocol support as well as web and email capabilities. It acts as a PROFINET device
(slave), which means that it can be accessed by a PROFINET controller (master) but will not
initiate communication by itself.
The interface exchanges data via two memory buffers that can be accessed via a built in
webserver or via industrial network protocols such as PROFINET IO.
