HMS Industrial Networks. HMS Industrial Networks assumes no responsibility for errors that may appear in this document There are many applications of the Anybus X-gateway module. Those responsible for the use of this device must satisfy themselves that all necessary steps have been taken to verify an application meets all performance and safety requirements including any applicable laws, regulations, codes, and standards.
Chapter 1 Anybus X-gateway Module Description 1-1 Anybus X-gateway Module Description Overview The X-gateway J1939 to Modbus Interface (JMI) allows you to monitor and con- trol data on a J1939 heavy duty vehicle network using a Modbus RTU master device. Data from J1939 messages are mapped to I/O table locations, making them addressable using standard Modbus read and write commands.
• Modbus RTU master device. • 24 VDC power connection • PC to execute Anybus X-gateway Configuration Tool (BWConfig). • RS-232 null-modem cable to connect PC running BWConfig to the JMI. Optional Hardware • DIN rail to mount the JMI.
Anybus X-gateway Module Description Hardware Description The Anybus X-gateway J1939 to Modbus Interface has a 15-pin D-Subminiature connector for power and network connections. This connector has pins for module power, J1939 CAN connections, and Modbus RS-485 connections. See “Installa- tion” Page 2-1 for details on using this connector.
PC has a 9-pin serial port (or USB serial adapter), use a 9-pin to 25-pin straight through cable. Note: The Anybus X-gateway does not make use of the modem control signals specified for a DTE connector. Connecting the module through devices, such as isolation modules, which assume control of these lines may cause the BWConfig communications to be unreliable.
Chapter 3 Configuration 3-1 Configuration This chapter describes how the Anybus X-gateway J1939 to Modbus Interface is configured using the Anybus Configuration Tool (BWConfig). Detailed descrip- tions of each configurable parameter in the JMI are provided as well as how they are set in the tool.

Configuration 3-2 Connecting to the Anybus X-gateway Module If the PC running BWConfig has a 25-pin serial port, use a 25-pin to 25-pin null- modem (pins 2 and 3 swapped) cable to connect the PC to the X-gateway. If the PC has a 9-pin serial port (or USB serial adapter), use a 9-pin to 25-pin straight through cable.
Network Communication Protocol The Anybus X-gateway J1939 to Modbus Interface supports the Modbus RTU serial protocol. The module acts as a Modbus slave on the network. i.e. The mod- ule does not transmit any messages on the network unless they have been requested by the Modbus master.
