Anybus X-Gateway Ethernet/IP to Modbus-TCP question

Hey there,

I have a Anybus X-Gateway Article #AB7632-F

I was wondering if the Master PLC needs to be configured in such a way so that the X-gateway will be able to see all the points.

Hello,

I believe I spoke with you or someone you are working with on the phone earlier about this issue. You will need to configure the plc to talk to the Gateway. The gateway only exchanged the data between the two interfaces.

Take a look at the application notes section of theFile and downloads page for the device. You have 3 option to configure Ethernet/IP master to communicate with the device. With the EDS file, as a generic module or using message instructions.

From the modbus side you will need to configure the Modbus Client to make requests for data off of the device. Section 5 of the ethernet user manual covers the mapping from the buffer to modbus registers.

Regards,
Deryck
