AS-Interface Master - Modbus RTU Slave

Anybus X-gateway allows you to realize a seamless internal connection between AS-Interface and Modbus networks for PLC control systems and their connected devices.

Fast copying of I/O data

The main function of the X-gateway is the fast transfer of cyclic I/O data between two networks. This allows your PLC to do no additional calculation work. The gateway acts as master on the AS-Interface network and as slave on the Modbus network. The data transfer is completely transparent and has a maximum data capacity of 512 bytes in each direction.

Simple to formulate - no programming required!

The connection between the two networks is quickly established in the Anybus Configuratuion Manager software included with the X-gateway. no programming skills are required to set up the X-gateway. By factory default, the X-gateway has a predefined I/O size of 20 bytes.
