Industrial Network Gateway, Anybus X

Networks used in industrial automation are very often incompatible with eachother. The Anybus X-gateways interconnect the different networks and link between different fieldbusses or industrial Ethernet systems. Fully compatible with the PLC network systems of Siemens, Rockwell, Schneider Electric, Mitsubishi etc, the X-gateways make system integration easy. This family from HMS Industrial Networks is based on the proven Anybus communication modules. Embedded into a handy metal housing, the modules form an intelligent link between two industrial networks. The X-gateway family consists of 180 different versions and thus can interconnect all popular fieldbusses such as Profibus, DeviceNet and CANopen or connect these fieldbusses with the new Industrial Ethernet standards, Profinet, Ethernet/IP, Modbus-TCP and EtherCAT. The gateways are Stand-Alone devices built for DIN-rail mounting. After power-up the gateways are immediately ready for data exchange between the two selected networks. Configuration is done within a few minutes and no programming or specific PC hard- or software is required. The gateways transmit I/O data and parameters completely transparent between the two networks. The amount of data is configured within a simple configuration dialogue during setup of the gateway. The gateways can easily be integrated into industrial automation systems and ensure a seamless information flow between different networks. HMS Industrial Networks is the leading independent supplier of embedded network technology for automation devices. The company develops and manufactures solutions for interfacing automation devices to industrial networks. Development and manufacturing takes place at the head office in Halmstad, Sweden. Local sales and support is provided globally.
