Links any two industrial networks (over 250 combinations) for I/O data exchange between PLCs.
Anybus X-gateway connects two industrial networks so that controllers of different brands can exchange I/O data. Each unit has two network interfaces, master or slave on either side, and a shared memory of up to 512 bytes in each direction that is copied cyclically between them. It is used where a Siemens PROFINET line must talk to an Allen-Bradley EtherNet/IP system, or a PROFIBUS DP network needs a Modbus TCP SCADA window.
The classic X-gateway family offers more than 200 combinations across fieldbus and Ethernet networks, with master interfaces for PROFIBUS, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP and AS-Interface and slave interfaces for most networks. The compact X-gateway Modbus-TCP and X-gateway EtherNet/IP series are single-box bridges with a web interface. X-gateway IIoT adds OPC UA and MQTT so PLC data can be published to IT systems, with up to 80 tags per unit.
Indian buyers state the two networks, which side is master or scanner and which is slave or adapter, the number of I/O bytes each way and whether OPC UA or MQTT output is wanted. Mention DIN rail space and 24 V DC supply so the correct housing is quoted.
Elume sells Anybus anybus x-gateway on order: send the part numbers or the specification and the quantity, and we come back with one GST-ready quote, usually within a working day. Bulk and project quantities welcome; delivery across India. See the whole Anybus range we quote on the Anybus page, or the full catalogue on Anybus's own site.
The series asked for most. Any other Anybus part number is quoted the same way.
A Communicator connects a serial, CAN or Modbus device to one PLC network. An X-gateway connects two PLC networks to each other, for example PROFINET to EtherNet/IP, so two controllers can share I/O data.
The classic X-gateway shares up to 512 bytes of input and 512 bytes of output between the two sides. Compact Modbus-TCP and EtherNet/IP series units have similar capacity; the IIoT version is limited to 80 tags over OPC UA.
Yes. The PROFIBUS Master versions scan up to 124 DP slaves and present their data as one PROFINET, EtherNet/IP or Modbus TCP device, which lets a new PLC take over the old I/O without rewiring the field.
