IBA ibaPADU-C-8AI Compact Measurement Modules

IBA ibaPADU-C-8AI  Compact Measurement Modules

On the “Diagnostics“ tab, the current versions of hardware, firmware and FPGA firmware

as well as the serial number are displayed. Moreover, you can carry out an update of the

firmware and reset the device to the factory defaults.

Reset to factory defaults

Having opened the following dialog by clicking on the button,

all settings are reset to factory settings by confirming with.

Saved streams, last saved

Number of saved data streams, and the time of the last saving.

❑ Streams used, configured, max.

Number of used, configured and maximum permitted data streams

❑ Monitor port status

Status of the monitor port

module is created. The automatically recognized configuration, such as originator and

target address, connection path, header sizes, is adopted.

The buttonis inactive if a module has already been created for this

connection.

The parameters on the right side show different EtherNet/IP detailed information.

Display telegram content

The current contents of the respective telegrams are displayed when you mark a branch

in the connection tree.

EtherNet/IP sniffer“ module

The module „EtherNet/IP sniffer“ is only available underneath a device node.

Basic settings

❑ Module type, Locked, Enabled, Name, Timebase, Use name as prefix

see chapter 9.2.1.1.

❑ Module No.

Logical module no. for clearly referencing of signals, e.g. in expressions in virtual mod

ules and ibaAnalyzer.

EtherNet/IP

❑ Originator IP address

The IP address of the originator of the EtherNet/IP connection you want to measure. The

originator is the one that initiates the connection. This usually is a PLC.

❑ Target IP address

The IP address of the target of the EtherNet/IP connection you want to measure. The

target is the one receiving a connection request. This is usually an I/O module.

❑ Connection path

The connection path of the EtherNet/IP connection you want to measure. This uniquely

identifies a connection between an originator and a target. If there is only a single con

nection between the originator and the target then the connection path is not required.

❑ Header size O->T

The size of the CIP real time format header. This determines the position of signal ad

dress 0 in the EtherNet/IP user data.

Header size T->O

The size of the CIP real time format header. This determines the position of signal ad

dress 0 in the EtherNet/IP user data.

Module Layout

❑ No. analog signals

Defining the number of analog signals for this module (max. 1024).

❑ No. digital signals

Defining the number of analog signals for this module (max. 1024).

Enter the analog signals you want to acquire in sequential order here. The individual

columns in the signal list have the following meanings:

❑ Name

Here, you can enter a signal name and additionally two comments, if you click on the

icon on the signal name field.

❑ Unit

Here, you can enter the physical unit of the analog value.

❑ Gain / Offset

Gradient (Gain) and y axis intercept (Offset) of a linear equation. You can convert a

standardized and no unit value transferred into a physical value.
