Connect any combination of Fieldbus and Industrial Ethernet from networks such as: CANopen, CC-Link, ControlNet, J1939, Lonworks, Interbus, Modbus RTU, as well as industrial Ethernet versions supporting Profinet, Profinet-IRT, IRT Fiber Optic, EtherNet/IP, ModbusTCP, EtherCAT and CC-Link IE Field. For some Ethernet networks the X-gateway supports dual port Ethernet interfaces which allows for daisy-chaining and removes the need for an external switch.

The X-gateways are designed for use in industrial automation plants where many different networks are used. The X-gateways help system integrators to easily interconnect any two networks, enabling consistent information flow throughout the entire plant.

Compatible with all leading PLC manufacturers
X-gateways are tested and proven with all leading manufacturers of PLCs such as, Siemens, Allen Bradley, Schneider Electric, Mitsubishi, ABB, Omron, Hitachi, Beckhoff, Pheonix Contact, Bosch Rexroth and more.

Easy installation - No programming required!
No programming skills are needed to set up the X-gateways. As factory default the X-gateways have a pre-defined I/O size of 20 bytes I/O.

Fast transparent data transfer between the two networks
The X-gateway's primary focus is with the transfer of cyclic I/O data between two networks. In additions and depending on network combinations, also acyclic parameter data can be transferred. ( eg. SDO, DPV1, PCP, or Explicit messaging ) The use of parameter data enriches the functionality of the gateway and allows for the transfer
of time uncritical blocks of data between the two networks. The X-gateway can also mix parameter and I/O data to
allow a very flexible interconnection between the two networks.

X-Gateway family

The Anybus X-gateway series consists of over 200 different products aimed at connecting almost any possible combination of industrial networks.
