Description 5 (18) Description 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.
Description 6 (18) Data Exchange Data From Data From Network 2 Network 1 Network Interface 1 Network Interface 2 Data From Data From Network 1 Network 2 Fig. 2 Anybus X-gateway data exchange The terminology and definitions used for different types of data vary between different network types.
Description 7 (18) Status and Diagnostics 2.3.1 Status Word Runtime status and diagnostic information can be provided through the Status Word, which (if enabled) takes up the first two bytes of the output area (data to the network). The Status Word is disabled by default and must be enabled for each network separately through Anybus Configuration Manager.

Description 8 (18) 2.3.2 Live List (Master Configurations Only) The Live List provides the active status of the slaves associated with an on-board network inter- face acting as master. The list is assembled by the master interface and forwarded to the other network each gateway cycle.
Description 9 (18) Controlling the X-gateway from the Network Some functions in the X-gateway can be controlled from the network by setting the correspond- ing bits in the Control Word, which (if enabled) takes up the first two bytes of the input area (data coming from the network).
Description 10 (18) Data Mapping Examples Usage of the Control Word, Status Word and Live List affect how data is mapped to the network interfaces in the Anybus X-gateway. The following generic examples describe typical configurations. The actual representation of data on the network is highly network-specific and is described in the Network Guide for the re- spective interface.
Installation 11 (18) Installation DIN Rail Mounting The unit must be electrically grounded through the DIN rail for EMC compliance. Mount on DIN rail The unit is designed to be mounted on a standard DIN rail. No tools are needed. Hook the unit onto the upper lip of the rail and push gently downwards.

Anybus Configuration Manager 13 (18) Anybus Configuration Manager Introduction The Anybus X-gateway usually requires only a minimum of configuration during setup, since the on-board network interfaces are configured from the respective networks. Some parameters in the gateway may however need to be adjusted to suit specific networks and applications. The gateway settings are accessed via the USB port of the X-gateway using the Windows- based application Anybus Configuration Manager.
Anybus Configuration Manager 14 (18) Setup Download Anybus Configuration Manager and Anybus Transport Provider from www.anybus.com/support. Unzip the contents of each archive in a folder on your computer and double-click on the setup executable, then follow the instructions in the installation wizard. Connect a USB cable between the computer and the USB port on the X-gateway.
