Description

This interface was developed for a particular project and enables ibaPDA to access all internal variables of up to 4 MMC controls.

The C-nodes are used as gateways for communication between ibaPDA and individual virtual process environments.
Interface configuration

Port no.:

Usually, the default port no. 6115 can remain unchanged. The same port no. has to be configured also in the serial port server.

Address book path

Enter the full path name of the folder in which the MMC LOC files are stored.

User name / password

Enter the correct user name and password here if the address book path refers to a network drive that requires user credentials.

Disable signals on non-responding VEs

If this option is enabled, the measurement channels for non-responding VEs will be temporarily deactivated. They are reactivated with the next request.

Enable VE reconnect detection

If this option is enabled, missing VEs are also checked during measurement. In case the VEs are available again, the measurement stops, a request will be executed and the measurement restarts.

MMC VE response timeout [s]:

This setting defines the maximum period to wait for a response to commands to the MMC VEs. You may adjust the time according to the number of VEs and the MMC configuration.
Connection table

When connected to active MMC controllers and with an address book loaded, the table beneath the properties shows the MMC-internal names of the VEs and the corresponding symbol names.
