Connection settings

The following settings must be made for the connection:

Destination address

Here specify the destination address of the system with which the connection should be established.

Port number

Here specify the port via which the target system should communicate.

Update time

Update time determines in which cycle ibaPDA sends telegrams. If the update time is set to 0 ms, then ibaPDA sends a telegram as soon as output data is available. As for all output modules, the shortest cycle is 50 ms (see calculation time base).

Send mode

The selected send mode determines when ibaPDA should send the data.

  • Cyclic: A telegram is sent at the set update time, at least every 50 ms.

  • On change: A telegram is sent each time the signal data is changed.

  • On trigger: A telegram is sent each time a rising edge is detected on the trigger signal.
