Chapter 1
About the Anybus X-gateway
Introduction
The Anybus X-gateway is a series of network gateways, used to provide a seamless connection between
two networks of different type.
The gateway is based on patented Anybus
technology; a proven industrial communi- Network 1
cation solution used all over the world by 24V DC

leading manufacturers of industrial auto-
mation products.
The X-gateway enhances the common
gateway concept by providing gateway
versions with both master and slave func- Network 2
tionality as well as ethernet capabilities.
Furthermore, the gateway can be configured using common terminal emulation software and a standard
null-modem cable; no proprietary configuration software or utilities are needed (note however that ded-
icated configuration tools may be required when setting up the actual fieldbus network communication).
Functional Overview
Internally, the gateway consists of two Anybus-S network interface cards, interconnected through an in-
telligent gateway platform, which basically forwards data from one network to the other and vice versa
as shown below. This design allows almost any combination of network systems, in both master and
slave configurations.

Installation
DIN Rail Installation
The gateway is DIN-rail mountable. To ensure proper EMC behaviour, the DIN-rail must be connected
to protective earth (PE).
Snap On
1
To fasten the gateway onto the DIN-rail,
align it with the din rail connector accord-
ing to this figure, press firmly on top (1)
and push the lower part into position (2).
Snap Off
To remove the gateway, press firmly on 1
top (1) and pull the lower part away from

the din rail (2).
Power
The gateway requires a regulated 24V±10% power-

source. Power is applied via a 2 pole pluggable screw
connector.
Note that this connector is polarized; wrong polarity
will not work and may damage the product.
Network Installation
Network specific installation procedures are, when applicable, described in the separate interface adden-
dums for your product.
Chapter 2
Basic Operation
Data Exchange
Each of the two network interfaces exchange data on it’s network through two buffers. The gateway
forwards the data between these buffers as shown below. Note that this process is separated from the
network data exchange; while the gateway ensures data consistency (where applicable), it does not fea-
ture any built-in mechanisms for synchronisation between the two networks.
Data From Data From

Network 2 Network 1
Network 1
Network 2
Network Interface 1 Network Interface 2
Data From Data From

Network 1 Network 2
Each buffer holds up to 512 bytes of data, which is the theoretical upper limit for the number of bytes
that can be exchanged in each direction. Note however that the actual number of bytes that can be ex-
changed is highly network dependent.
Besides network I/O, these buffers are optionally also used to provide access to network status infor-
mation, and to control various aspects of the gateway. This may be general diagnostic information (called
the ‘Status Word’), list of active slaves (known as the ‘Live List’), or other network specific status infor-
mation. A dedicated Control Word may be used to start/stop the exchange of data, or to reset the gate-
way if needed.
Most networks distinguishes between fast cyclical I/O and less time critical acyclic data. Where applica-
ble, this is also reflected in how data is treated by the gateway and the on-board network interfaces.
The amount of data that shall be exchanged, and the use of the control- and status functionality, is spec-
ified separately for each network via the Gateway Config interface. This means that even though up to
512 bytes of data can be forwarded to an interface, the amount of data that will actually be exchanged
on that network is determined by settings in the network interface itself. While this may not seem logical
at first, it allows data exchange regardless of network specific needs and limitations.
Note that the available control- and status functionality highly depends on the actual gateway configu-
ration. Also note that the terminology and definitions used for different types of data varies greatly be-
tween different networking systems. In this document, they are simply referred to as ‘I/O Data’ (as in
fast, cyclic data) and ‘Parameter Data’ (as in acyclic, slow data).

Status Word
Optionally, the gateway provides runtime status and diagnostics through the Status Word. This func-
tionality is disabled by default, but can be enabled separately for each network via the Gateway Config
Interface.

Gateway Cycle Counter General Error Counter (reserved) Master Mode Init Run
(MSB) (LSB)
• Gateway Cycle Counter

This 4-bit counter is incremented for each successful gateway cycle, i.e. each time data has been
successfully transferred between the network interfaces.
• General Error Counter

This 4-bit counter is incremented each time the throughput of the gateway exceeds 100 ms.
• Master Mode1
These bits indicate the current operation mode of the on-board master to the other network
(these bits are not available on the master/scanner side).
The exact definition of these bits depend on the network in question. For further information,
consult the interface addendum for the on board master/scanner.
• Init
This bit indicates if the other network interface has been initialised as follows:
1: Other network interface successfully initialised.
0: Could not initialise other network interface.
• Run
This bit indicates the status of the data exchange on the other network as follows:
1: Other network is on line / running
0: Other network is not on line / not running

Basic Operation 2-3
Live List (Master Configurations Only)
Optionally, the gateway provides a list of the active status of the slaves associated with the on board mas-
ter. The list is assembled by the master interface and forwarded to the other network each gateway cycle.
This functionality is disabled by default, but can be enabled via the Gateway Config Interface.
Live List Contents:

• Bit Set (1)

Slave active.
(The exact interpretation of this bit is network specific. Consult the separate interface addendum
for the master network interface)
• Bit Cleared (0)

Slave not active.
(The exact interpretation of this bit is network specific. Consult the separate interface addendum
for the master network interface)
Note 1: Although certain masters may support more than 64 slaves, only node number 1... 64 will be
represented in the Live List.
Note 2: The EtherNet/IP Scanner Interface does not feature a Live List. Instead, it is possible to rep-
resent statistics about configured, active, and erroneous connections.

• Master Mode1
These bits specify the current operation mode of the on-board master from the other network
(these bits are not available on the master/scanner side).
The exact definition of these bits depend on the network in question, however common for all
networks is that if the Control Word has been enabled, it is required to specify a value for these
bits in order for the gateway to start exchanging data.

Data Mapping
If enabled, the Control- and Status Words, and the Live List (when available), affects how data is
mapped to the on-board network interfaces.
Note: The actual representation of the data on the network is highly network specific and is described
in detail in the interface addendums for your product.

Basic Operation 2-6
Error Handling
When a network goes off line, it is often desirable to have certain control over what happens on the other
network. The gateway can either freeze (keep the current value) or clear (set to zero) the data from the
network that has gone off line.
Which action to perform can be specified via the Gateway Config Interface.

General Information
Generally, the X-gateway requires very little effort to get up and running. However, since all networks
are different, certain settings may need to be adjusted slightly to fit a particular application. This is
achieved through the Gateway Config Interface, which features a text based user interface that can be
accessed using standard terminal emulation software (such as the Microsoft HyperTerminal).
From the physical point of view, this is a standard RS232 interface with the following properties:
Baudrate: 57600
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
