Description

The Sisteam TCP interface can be used by any controller capable of sending messages using the Sisteam protocols, in particular the Sisteam controllers of INGELECTRIC S.A.

Sisteam over TCP/IP is limited to sending data packets to destination port 8738 (hex: 0x2222). This means that the ibaPDA driver can only receive messages over port 8738. The source port is generated randomly as expected by any TCP/IP application capable to establish multiple connections (links). With the TCP/IP driver, ibaPDA acts as a connection server and the controllers act as clients. This means that the ibaPDA station monitors port 8738 for sender information and connection requests.

Up to 64 connections or modules respectively are supported.
Interface configuration

<Allow ports through firewall>

When installing ibaPDA, the default port numbers of the used protocols are automatically entered in the firewall. If you change the port number or enable the interface subsequently, you have to enable this port in the firewall with this button.

Network interfaces

Using this drop-down list, you can select which network adapters on your computer are used for this interface. The sockets will be opened for communication only on the selected network adapters. In case a network adapter has multiple IP addresses configured, a socket will be opened for all of these IP addresses. At least one network adapter should be selected to get the interface configuration validated. If you select None, an error message will be displayed when validating the I/O configuration. By default, the option All is selected.
Connection table

Address

This is the IP address of the source computer from which ibaPDA receives data.

Module index

The module index indicates which module number in ibaPDA should be assigned to this connection. The module index must be configured in the source system, e.g. ABB, ibaLogic. This module index must correspond to the entry in the field, Module index, in the corresponding module of the I/O Manager (module level, General tab). If necessary, adjust the module index on the source page or in ibaPDA.
