If an ibaBM-DPM-S device is replaced by an ibaBM-DP device, it may be an advantage that the “ibaBM-DPM-S” device module is no longer used in the I/O Manager but is replaced by an “ibaBM-DP” device module.
The advantage of the “ibaBM-DP” device module is that separate nodes are available for bus0 and bus1. There are separate modules for each bus, such as sniffer, active slave, Dig512 sniffer. This way, configuring the signals is easier to manage.
Furthermore, functions such as the display of bus voltages and the event log can only be used with the “ibaBM-DP” device module.
Notes on the configuration in the ibaPDA I/O Manager:
Right-click on the existing “ibaBM-DPM-S” device module and select Replace module with ibaBM-DP.
A “ibaBM-DP” device module is automatically generated in the module tree. Existing modules under the “ibaBM-DPM-S” device module are automatically assigned to the correct bus node bus 0/bus 1. Modules containing signals from both buses are automatically split. For example, two sniffer modules for bus 0 and bus 1 are created if signals are present on both busses. The same applies to Dig512 sniffer modules. For each active slave configured in the ibaBM-DPM-S device, a separate “Active slave" module is created under the corresponding bus node.
After replacing, check whether the correct mode is set in the “ibaBM-DP” device module for your application. For a FOB-io card (bidirectional), the Flex mode is set in the device module. For a FOB-i card (unidirectional) the compatibility mode 32Mbit is set.
Example: Previous configuration in ibaBM-DPM-S
A sniffer module is configured under the “ibaBM-DPM-S” module. Active slaves are configured on bus 0 and bus 1 in the General tab. The tabs Analog and Digital contain signals on bus 0 and bus 1.
Configured active slaves in the ibaBM-DPM-S "Sniffer" module
Analog signals in the ibaBM-DPM-S "Sniffer" module
Digital signals in the ibaBM-DPM-S "Sniffer" module
After selecting the Replace module with ibaBM-DP function, a message appears telling you which modules have been created.
New configuration with ibaBM-DP module
Under each bus, modules for the active slaves (
) are created, one module under the respective bus node for each active slave. The
name of the module "Sniffer..." is taken from the old configuration, because the active
slaves were configured in the module "Sniffer". The name can be changed subsequently.
Under each bus, a sniffer module (
) is created. The previously configured signals are transferred to the Analog and Digital registers.
Analog signals on Bus0
Digital signals on Bus0
Analog signals on Bus1
Digital signals on Bus1
