Compatible with all leading PLC manufacturers 

X-gateways are tested and proven with all leading manufacturers of PLC's such as, Siemens, Allen Bradley, Schneider Electric, Mitsubishi, ABB, Omron, Hitachi, Beckhoff, Pheonix Contact, Bosch Rexroth and more. 

Easy installation - No programming required! 

No programming skills are needed to set up the X-gateway as they contain a built-in configuration interface. As factory default the X-gateways have a pre-defined I/O size of 20 bytes I/O. In addition to the built-in configuration interface, versions containing a master interface require the usage of an appropriate master configuration tool. 

Fast transparent data transfer between the two networks 

The X-gateways primary focus is with the transfer of cyclic I/O data between two networks. In addition, and depending on network combinations, also acyclic parameter data can be transferred. The transfer time between the two networks is typically 10-15ms. 

Included OPC server for extended functionality 

Connect PC based OPC-Client applications via standard Ethernet networks and the X-gateway to all major fieldbus networks. The Anybus® OPC Server enables any PC-based OPC DA client application to access data of distributed field devices located in a fieldbus network without the need for a PCI fieldbus interface card. 

Designed for harsh industrial environments 

The X-gateways have been designed for use in harsh industrial environments featuring standard DIN rail mounting, IP20 rating and 24 Volt DC power supply. X-gateways are certified with hazardous location classifications such as ATEX and UL1604. They are intelligent stand alone devices supporting fan less operation and industrial operating temperature range. No moving mechanical parts or operating systems are used.
