Description 4 (10)
2 Description
2.1 Overview
POWERLINK is a deterministic real-time protocol for standard Ethernet. It is an open protocol
managed by the Ethernet POWERLINK Standardization Group (EPSG). POWERLINK extends
Ethernet according to the IEEE 802.3 standard with mechanisms to transfer data with predictable
delivery. The communication meets timing demands typical for high performance automation
and motion applications.
POWERLINK manages the network traffic using dedicated time-slots for isochronous and
asynchronous data. Only one networked device at the time gains access to the network media.
Thus transmission of data will never interfere and precise communication timing is guaranteed.
This mechanism is called Slot Communication Network Management (SCNM).
SCNM is managed by one particular networked device, the Managing Node (MN). All other
nodes are called Controlled Nodes (CN). The Anybus X-gateway POWERLINK Slave can participate
as a Controlled Node in POWERLINK networks.
2.2 Data Flow
The Anybus X-gateway POWERLINK Slave network interface exchanges data via two memory
buffers that can be accessed via a built in webserver or over POWERLINK.
Input Buffer Contains data coming from the gateway, i.e. data from another network.
Output Buffer Contains data to be sent through the gateway to another network.

4.1 Anybus Configuration Manager
Fig. 4 Anybus Configuration Manager
The interface can be configured over the USB port using Anybus Configuration Manager, which
can be downloaded from www.anybus.com/support.
The following settings are available when the POWERLINK interface is selected in Anybus
Configuration Manager:
Input PDO Size (bytes) Amount of cyclical I/O data to exchange on POWERLINK
Output PDO Size (bytes)
Input SDO Size (bytes) Amount of acyclical I/O data to exchange on POWERLINK
Output SDO Size (bytes)
Offline option Action if the POWERLINK network goes offline
Clear = reset the data from the network to zero (0).
Freeze = keep the current value.
Control word/Status word Enables/disables the control word and status word on POWERLINK.
Node ID (1–239) The Node ID of the POWERLINK interface.
Valid values = 1 to 239, 240 is reserved for the managing node.
For more information, see the built-in help in Anybus Configuration Manager.
