AB7500 Anybus Gateway
HMS Anybus X-Gateway PROFIBUS Master To PROFINET-IRT Device/Slave, DIN-Rail Mount, 24 VDC Powered, 0 to 65 deg. C.
 
Anybus X-gateway - PROFIBUS Master - PROFINET-IRT Device
The Anybus X-gateway allows you to seamlessly inter-connect PLC control systems and their connected devices between PROFIBUS and PROFINET-IRT networks.
 
FAST COPYING OF I/O DATA
The X-gateways primary function is with the fast transfer of cyclic I/O data between the two networks. This offloads your PLC from working with additional calculations. The gateway acts as a Master on the PROFIBUS network and a Device on the PROFINET-IRT network. The data transmission is completely transparent with a maximum data capacity of 512 bytes in each direction.
 
EASY CONFIGURATION - NO PROGRAMMING REQUIRED!
The connection between the two networks is quickly set up in the Anybus Configuration Manager software, included with the X-gateway. No programming skills are needed to set up the X-gateway. As factory default the X-gateways have a pre-defined I/O size of 20 bytes I/O.
