The multistation operation offers the option to synchronize data acquisition on various ibaPDA computers with high precision. The multistation operation is used in cases where the number of measuring signals needed exceeds the maximum capacity of the input cards of a computer or if several ibaPDA computers are required due to spatial conditions.

You need a special license to use the multistation function:

ibaPDA-Multistation license (order no. 30.001130)

A multistation configuration can consist of 2 to 33 ibaPDA systems.

Perform the configuration of the ibaPDA system for operation in a multi-station network with the dialogs in this branch. Here, you determine whether the ibaPDA system is active as master or slave in the multistation group.

The standalone mode is set at the factory or if there is no multistation license.
