In the P2P mode, the following settings can be configured in the Settings page:

Transmission mode

The P2P mode uses the 32Mbit ibaNet protocol. In the transmission mode field, you define how this protocol is assigned. You can choose from the following transmission modes:

  • 4: 1024 Integer + 1024 Digital in 800 µs

  • A: 512 Real + 512 Digital in 800 µs

  • C: 2872 bytes in 1000 µs

The setting has to correspond with the setting in the 32Mbit communication partner (e. g. ibaLink-VME).

For each slave: bus number, address and active

The data from the ibaNet telegrams are mapped in send and receive direction on up to 8 slaves (A - H). For each slave, you can choose, on which bus it is to be activated, which PROFIBUS address should be assigned and if you want to use this slave at all.

Digital

The Slave H can be used in the transmission modes 4 and A, either for the analog value range or the digital value range. If you want to use the slave H for the digital values, then activate the "Digital" setting.

Submit

You activate changed settings by clicking on <Submit>.

Refresh

With a click on <Refresh>, the mask will be updated.

The colored bar visualizes the mapped data from the ibaNet-telegram. The mapping of the data is always identically for both directions.

Under Actual length you can see the length of the inputs and outputs in the web dialog that has been detected for the respective slave. This corresponds to the configured length in the PROFIBUS configuration (e. g. Step 7 HWConfig).
