The network settings for the CMU can be set here. If you are using an ibaCMU-S, ibaCMC requires an FTP connection to the CMU to be able to upload the configuration text files and download the calculation results, including raw data. No FTP-connection is required with ibaDAQ.

FTP connection settings (not available for ibaDAQ)

Data connection (online/offline)

In general:

If the data connection is online, the configuration will be uploaded to the device. If the connection is offline, the configuration can be created but not uploaded to the device. However, you can download the configuration as a ZIP file.

To ibaCMU-S applies:

By switching to online the folder Hard Disk2\cmd on the CMU is scanned for file CMUInfo.xml. Switching to online is possible if the file exists and if the device is accessible via FTP. If any precondition is not fulfilled, an error message pops up and the switch will be set to offline automatically. In offline state no trend or raw data will be retrieved from the device and no diagnostics will be performed on the device.

Host address

The network IP address of the CMU. This setting must match the local CMU settings. Depending on the CMU type, the setting method differs:

  • For an ibaCMU-S CMU type enter the IP address here, in order to establish a connection to the device.

  • For an ibaDAQ CMU type the IP address is filled in automatically after ibaPDA has established a connection to ibaCMC. It is not possible to change the IP address here. This must be done on the ibaDAQ device.

In case of questions concerning the IP address, consult the CMU administrator manual or your network administrator for more information.

FTP port

This value is the default FTP port number 21 and must not be changed. With a different port number, an FTP connection to the CMU is not possible.

FTP user

The FTP user depends on the CMU hardware type. This value is set automatically by the system. The values may not be changed.

FTP password

The FTP password depends on the CMU hardware type. This value is set automatically by the system. The values may not be changed.

FTP path

The FTP path depends on the CMU hardware type. This value is set automatically by the system. The values may not be changed.
