The output module is not an autonomous module, but rather an extension of the Modbus Client module. With the output module, you can write data from ibaPDA to a controller.

You can configure the module in the Outputs tab. You do not have to add it separately. The module will be available as soon as a Modbus Client module has been added.

The settings correspond to those in the Inputs tab, apart from the module-specific settings, and can also be configured there. The connection settings also correspond to those in the Inputs tab.

For notes on the general module settings see General module settings

Please note the following differences to the settings of the input modules:

• For Analog type only "Holding register", single or multiple is possible

• For Digital type only "Holding register" and "Coils", each single or multiple are possible

• The transmission cycle of the messages is determined by the following parameters:

  • Update time (in ms): If you enter 0 or a value <50, the transmission cycle equals the ibaPDA task cycle of approximately 50 ms

  • Send only when changed:False: the output message will be sent in the above mentioned cycle (update time).True: the output message will only be sent when one of the signals changes its value, but at the latest after 1 min.
