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
respective networks, using third-party configuration tools.
Fig. 1 Anybus X-gateway concept overview
This document describes only the gateway platform. The network interfaces are described in
their own documentation.
Anybus®X-gateway™User Manual HMSI-27-262 4.0 en-US

Description 6 (16)
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 documentation 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
network-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 mechanisms
for synchronisation between the two networks.

Description 7 (16)
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.
(MSB) (LSB)
bit 15 bit 14 bit 13 bit 12 bit 11 bit 10 bit 9 bit 8 bit 7 bit 6 bit 5 bit 4 bit 3 bit 2 bit 1 bit 0
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
successfully 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 documentation for the
respective 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
Anybus®X-gateway™User Manual HMSI-27-262 4.0 en-US

Description 8 (16)
2.3.2 Live List (Master Configurations Only)
The Live List provides the active status of the slaves associated with an on-board network
interface 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 set (1) = Slave active
Bit cleared (0) = Slave not active
The exact definition of each set or cleared bit depends on the network interface used. See the
documentation 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 documentation
for the respective interface for more information.

Description 9 (16)
2.4 Controlling the X-gateway from the Network
Some functions in the X-gateway can be controlled from the network by setting the
corresponding bits in the Control Word, which (if enabled) takes up the first two bytes of the
input area (data coming from the network).
The Control Word is disabled by default and must be enabled for each network separately via
Anybus Configuration Manager. When enabled, specific actions may be required in order for the
X-gateway to start exchanging data.
(MSB) (LSB)
bit 15 bit 14 bit 13 bit 12 bit 11 bit 10 bit 9 bit 8 bit 7 bit 6 bit 5 bit 4 bit 3 bit 2 bit 1 bit 0
Reset Master Mode
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 documentation for the
respective interface for more information.
Reset
Can be used to reset the Anybus X-gateway.
Bit set (1) = Restart the gateway and re-initialize both network interfaces
Bit cleared (0) = No action
2.4.1 Network-specific Controls
Some network interfaces may provide additional methods of controlling the X-gateway from the
network. See the documentation for the respective interface for more information.
2.5 Error Handling
If a network goes offline the X-gateway can either freeze (keep the current value) or clear (set to
zero) the data from the network that has gone offline. Which action to take can be selected via
Anybus Configuration Manager.
See also Anybus Configuration Manager, p. 13.

Description 10 (16)
2.6 Data Mapping Examples
Usage of the Control Word, Status Word and Live List affect how data is mapped to the network
interfaces in the Anybus X-gateway.
The following generic examples describe typical configurations. The actual representation of data
on the network is highly network-specific and is described in the documentation for the
respective interface.
Typical Slave-to-Slave Gateway Configuration
Fig. 3 Slave-to-slave example
This example illustrates how data is mapped in a typical slave-to-slave gateway configuration.
The Control Word and Status Word is here enabled for both networks.
Typical Master-to-Slave Gateway Configuration
Fig. 4 Master-to-slave example
This example illustrates how data is mapped in a typical master-to-slave gateway configuration.
The mapping is similar to the slave-to-slave configuration but also features the Live List, which
indicates the active status of the slaves that are attached to the master interface.

Anybus Configuration Manager 13 (16)
4 Anybus Configuration Manager
4.1 Introduction
The Anybus X-gateway usually requires only a minimum of configuration during setup, since the
on-board network interfaces are configured from the respective networks. Some parameters in
the gateway may however need to be adjusted to suit specific networks and applications.
The gateway settings are accessed via the USB port of the X-gateway using the Windows-based
application Anybus Configuration Manager.
This section describes only the general features and how to install Anybus Configuration Manager.
The network-specific settings are described in detail in the built-in help system and in the
documentation for each respective interface.
Anybus Configuration Manager requires Windows XP or later.
