(Select ‘Fieldbus’ in the Navigation Section to gain access to the
parameters described in this section).
General
During start-up the fieldbus interface of the Anybus Communicator is initialized to fit the configuration
created in the Anybus Configuration Manager. Optionally, some initialization parameters can be set
manually to provide better control over how the data shall be treated by the gateway.
Fieldbus Settings
To be able to participate on the network, the following settings must be correctly made:
• Fieldbus Type
Anybus Configuration Manager supports a wide range of
networking systems. Make sure this parameter is set to
“EtherNet/IP 2Port”.
• Modbus Address Mode
Enabled - Use Modbus Address Mode
Disabled - Use Anybus Address Mode
See also “Modbus-TCP” on page 25
• Communicator IP-address, Gateway, Subnet Mask

I/O Sizes
These parameters specify how data from the internal memory buff-
er will be exchanged over EtherNet/IP. This can either be handled
automatically based on the sub-network configuration, or it can be
specified manually.
•Automatic
All data will be represented as I/O Data on EtherNet/IP.

starting at address 0x0000 of the respective memory buffers, will be reserved for and represented
