Description

The Codesys-Xplorer data interface for CODESYS is appropriate for measurement data acquisition via TCP/IP using the standard NICs. Access is transparent for the controller. It is not necessary to separately configure or program the controller. The signals to be measured can conveniently be selected based on the symbolic names supported by the ibaPDA symbol browser. This enables the access to all defined symbols of the linked CODESYS project.

Up to 16 connections can be used per interface license. By purchasing up to 14 licenses, the number of connections can be increased up to 240.

Interface configuration

Set all values to zero when the connection to a PLC is lost.

If this option is enabled, all the measured values of a CODESYS CPU are set to zero as soon as the connection is lost. If this option is disabled, ibaPDA will keep the last valid measured value at the time the connection was lost in the memory.

Start acquisition even when a PLC is not accessible.

If this option is enabled, the acquisition will start even if a CODESYS-CPU server is not accessible. A warning is issued in the validation dialog. If the system has been started without a connection to the CODESYS CPU, ibaPDA will try to connect to the CPU at regular intervals

Allow inaccessible symbols

Enable this option to start the acquisition even if no symbols are accessible. The inaccessible symbols are issued as warnings in the validation dialog. This can only occur if the address book is not up to date. If you do not enable this option then the measurement does not start if there are inaccessible symbols.
