IBA ibaPADU-8AI-I Compact Measurement Modules

IBA ibaPADU-8AI-I  Compact Measurement Modules

Modules in the I/O Manager

If you want to use ibaBM-ENetIP with ibaPDA, you have to configure the device in the

ibaPDA I/O Manager. Use the step-by-step procedure described in chapter 9.1.

In the following paragraphs, we describe the available modules.

“ibaBM-ENetIP“ device module

The module “ibaBM-ENetIP” contains of 4 different tabs. The “General” and “Diagnos

tics” tabs are always visible. The “Analog” and the “Digital” tab contain dynamic online

views of the analog and digital signals acquired by the device. This is why these two tabs

are only visible after modules of „EtherNet/IP sniffer“ type have been added and the

configuration has been transferred to the device.

Locked

A module can be locked in order to prevent accidental or unauthorized changes in the

module settings.

❑ Enabled

Disabled modules are excluded from signal acquisition.

❑ Name

Enter here the name for the module as clear text.

❑ Timebase

Timebase for the data acquisition which is used for this device in ms. Cycles of down to

1 ms are possible (depending on the number of the signals).

❑ Use name as prefix

The module name is placed in front of the signal name as prefix.

Connection

❑ IP address

IP address of the device (via FO); cannot be changed.

❑ Auto enable/disable

If the value is TRUE, the data acquisition is started even though the device is miss-ing.

The missing device is temporarily disabled in the configuration. During the measurement

process, ibaPDA tries to re-establish the connection to the missing device. If this is suc

cessful, the measurement is restarted automatically including the device that has been

missing. If the value is FALSE, the measurement will not be started, in case ibaPDA

cannot establish a connection to the device.

9.2.1.2 “Analog“ tab

If analog signals have been configured in the modules „EtherNet/IP sniffer“ and the con

figuration has been transferred to ibaBM-ENetIP, you will see here an overview of all

acquired analog signals with an online overview of the currently acquired values.

“Digital“ tab

If digital signals have been configured in the modules „Device slot“ and the configuration

has been transferred to ibaBM-ENetIP, you will see here an overview of all acquired

digital signals with an online overview of the currently acquired values.
