Chapter 3
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.
The next chapter walks the reader through the configuration of an example appli-
cation to illustrate how the configurable parameters are used in a real-world appli-
cation.

Anybus Configuration Tool (BWConfig)

The Anybus Configuration Tool allows you to configure the parameters associ-
ated with the Modbus and J1939 network interfaces as well as to set up the con-
tents and layout of the I/O table.
BWConfig is a Microsoft Windows application that communicates with an Any-
bus X-gateway over a standard RS-232 serial link using the PC serial port or USB
serial adapter. BWConfig is compatible with Microsoft Windows 98, NT, 2000
and XP.

Install BWConfig from the CD by running Setup.exe which is found in the CD's
root directory.
If you have downloaded BWConfig from the web site, unzip the downloaded file
into a temporary directory and run Setup.exe which is found in the temporary
directory.
