2 Description
2.1 Introduction
The Anybus X-gateway consists of two Anybus fieldbus or Ethernet network interface modules
and an intelligent gateway platform which transfers data between the two networks.
The X-gateway can be configured via a USB port using a Windows-based application, Anybus
Configuration Manager. The on-board network interfaces are normally configured from the re-
spective networks, using third-party configuration tools.

This document describes only the gateway platform. The network interfaces are described in
the respective Network Guides that can be downloaded from www.anybus.com/support.

2.2 Data Exchange
Fig. 2 Anybus X-gateway data exchange
The terminology and definitions used for different types of data vary between different network
types. Most networks distinguish between fast, cyclical I/O data, and less time-critical acyclic
data. In the Anybus X-gateway these types of data are generally referred to respectively as I/O
Data and Parameter Data.
Each of the two network interfaces exchanges data on its network through its own buffer, which
can hold up to 512 bytes of data. The actual amount of data that can be exchanged depends on
the settings in the network interface and may therefore be significantly less than 512 bytes,
which is only the maximum size of the buffer. The default setting is 20 bytes in each direction.
See the Network Guide for the respective network interface for more information.
In addition to the I/O data the buffers may contain network status information and instructions
for controlling the network interface. Depending on the type of network interface this may be
general diagnostic information (Status Word), a list of the active slaves (Live List), or other net-
work-specific information. In a network master, part of the buffer may be used to start/stop data
exchange and to reset the gateway (Control Word).
The exchange of data between the buffers is separate from the network data exchange. While
the X-gateway ensures data consistency (where applicable), it does not feature any mecha-
nisms for synchronisation between the two networks.

2.3 Status and Diagnostics
2.3.1 Status Word
Runtime status and diagnostic information can be provided through the Status Word, which (if
enabled) takes up the first two bytes of the output area (data to the network).
The Status Word is disabled by default and must be enabled for each network separately
through Anybus Configuration Manager.

Gateway Cycle Counter General Error Counter (reserved) Master Mode Init Run
Gateway Cycle Counter
A 4-bit counter, incremented for each successful gateway cycle (each time data has been suc-
cessfully transferred between the network interfaces).
General Error Counter
A 4-bit counter, incremented each time the throughput of the gateway exceeds 100 ms.
Master Mode (master configurations only)
If a network interface is confgured as a network master, these bits indicate the current operation
mode of the master to the other network.
The exact definition depends on the network interface type. See the Network Guide for the re-
spective interface for more information.
Init
Indicates if the other network interface has been initialized.
Bit set (1) = Other network interface successfully initialized
Bit cleared (0) = Could not initialize other network interface
Run
Indicates the status of the data exchange on the other network.
Bit set (1) = Other network is online and exchanging data
Bit cleared (0) = Other network is offline or not exchanging data

2.3.2 Live List (Master Configurations Only)
The Live List provides the active status of the slaves associated with an on-board network inter-
face acting as master. The list is assembled by the master interface and forwarded to the other
network each gateway cycle.
The Live List functionality is disabled by default and must be enabled for the master interface
through Anybus Configuration Manager.

Bit cleared (0) = Slave not active
The exact definition of each set or cleared bit depends on the network interface used. See the
Network Guide for the respective interface for more information.
2.3.3 Network-specific Status
Some network interfaces may provide additional registers or status lists. See the Network
Guide for the respective interface for more information.
