Page 6: An-X-Pbs Module Overview
Page AN-X-PBS Module Overview The AN-X3-PB module running AN-X3-PBS-UDP firmware (referred to hereafter as AN-X) acts as a gateway between a Profibus DP network and an Ethernet network using cyclic UDP messages. The AN-X module has a web interface for configuration of Profibus and Ethernet properties. -
Page 7: Ethernet Udp
Each block supports a standard frame size (MTU) of up to 1,500 bytes. There is an 8 byte QTS header that identifies the data at the start of each UDP frame (see page 21). With Ethernet, IP, UDP and QTS overhead, there are 1,448 bytes or 362 DWORDS (32 bits) available to map Profibus diagnostics and data. -

Page 16: Reconfiguring An An-X From An Unknown State
If the AN-X3 microSD becomes corrupted and the AN-X3 will no longer boot, or if you want to reinitialize the AN-X3 to factory state: • Download the appropriate factory image file from the QTS web site. qtsusa.com/dist/AN-X3 (AN-X3-PBS-uSD.v4.01.01.img.zip for example). WARNING: This process will erase all AN-X3 configuration files. -
Page 17: Configuration
AN-X3-PBS-UDP User Manual v1.3 17 of 41 Page Configuration The AN-X-PBS-UDP uses two text files for configuration.
