Name

The name of the asset (e.g. plant, aggregate group, aggregate, etc.) can be changed here.

Comment

Enable

You can use this switch to enable (green) and disable (red) the telegram.

Communication mode

Here you can specify whether you want to create a receive or a send telegram. A maximum of 2 receive and 2 send telegrams are permitted. For an output, “Send” should be set here.

Connection mode

Here you can set whether the CMU will actively set up the connection or wait as a passive subscriber until the communication partner sets up the connection. In the case of a send telegram, the Passive setting is recommended.

Byte order

You can choose between Big endian and Little endian.

IP address

Enter the IP address for the communication partner. Note that this IP address must be located in the same subnet as the IP address of the CMU. The IP address only has to be specified for active connection setup.

Port

Enter the number of the port to be used for the communication.

Cycle time

The cycle time is fixed at 20 ms and cannot be changed.

Update mode (Send telegram only)

You can choose between After snapshot and Cyclic.

After snapshot means that the values in a send telegram are updated after a snapshot was taken.

Cyclic instead means, that statistical values like RMS, Peak-to-Peak, Crest factor and vRMS 3-1000 are updated cyclically, based on the transmission cycle time of the telegram.

Constraints:

  • Cyclic cannot be applied to component based trends. These can only be updated after a snapshot.

  • ibaCMU-S supports Cyclic only.

  • ibaDAQ and ibaM-DAQ support both modes.

Aggregate group

The telegram can be linked here using drag & drop. To remove the link, click on the Delete button.
