2.2 Features
Anybus X-gateways for Modbus-TCP act as intelligent links between two industrial networks. On Net-
work 2, they function as clients (masters) while they function as servers (slaves) on Network 1. The im-
plementation is based on the Anybus NP30 ASIC technology.
2.3 Configuring the Modbus-TCP Network
The Anybus X-gateway is a Modbus-TCP server (slave) on Network 1. The general settings for the serv-
er interface are configured using the configuration web pages (see "Modbus-TCP (Network 1 Server In-
terface)" on page 35). All data transfers must be configured using the Modbus-TCP configuration tool.
Please note that the size of the I/O data that can be read from and written to the module is defined when
configuring the X-gateway using the configuration web pages.
There are a number of different configuration tools for Modbus-TCP available on the market. The
choice of tool depends on the application and the Modbus-TCP client of Network 1.
An application note, describing how to configure an Anybus Modbus-TCP server interface with RS
Logix and RS Networx, is available on the support pages for the Anybus X-gateway Modbus-TCP -
Modbus-TCP module at 'www.anybus.com'.
