Overview
Anybus X-gateway PROFINET IRT (2.32) is a multi purpose communication solution offering in-
dustrial protocol support as well as web and email capabilities. It acts as a PROFINET device
(slave), which means it can be accessed by a PROFINET controller (master), but it will not ini-
tiate communication by itself.
The PROFINET IRT network interface exchanges data via two memory buffers that can be ac-
cessed via a built in webserver or via industrial network protocols such as PROFINET IO.
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.
