2.1 Installation Overview
Prerequisites
The following items are required for installation and basic configuration:
• Configuration cable
• Subnetwork cable
• Ethernet cable
• Anybus Configuration Manager - Communicator RS-232/422/485
(4.5.0.0 or later)
• Anybus Configuration Manager - IIoT
• IPconfig (3.2.1.1 or later)
The Anybus Configuration Manager and IPconfig applications can be
downloaded from www.anybus.com/support.
Basic installation steps
1. Mount the Anybus Communicator on the DIN rail.
2. Connect the serial and IIoT network interfaces.
3. Connect the configuration cable between the gateway and a PC.
4. Connect the power cable and apply power.
5. Check the LED indicators to verify that the gateway is running and that the
serial and IT networks are connected. See LED Indicators, p. 9.
6. Use Anybus Configuration Manager - Communicator to set up the data
exchange configuration in the Anybus Communicator.
7. Use IPconfig to configure the TCP/IP settings for the Anybus Communicator.
8. Use Anybus Configuration Manager - IIoT to create a tag configuration and
transfer it to the Anybus Communicator.
9. Connect to the web interface of the Anybus Communicator and configure
MQTT/OPC UA communication.
