The Diagnostics tab in the eLumina module provides information about the connection between the ibaPDA server and the eLumina CCU.
Communication via the eLumina interface is based on the ibaNet-E protocol. Consequently, the following texts refer to ibaNet-E. The information on the Diagnostics tab of the eLumina module is similar to that for the ibaNet-E generic connectionless module.
Connection
Connection phase
Each ibaNet-E connection can run in different phases.

Connection type
Type of ibaNet-E connection.
-
ACQ: Receive connection; isochronous acquisition of all values; with telegrams repeated in the event of transmission errors
-
PLC: Send connection; only the most recent value is transmitted; no resending in the event of transmission errors
Direction
Incoming or outgoing
-
IN: Receiving data from the ibaNet-E device (here: eLumina CCU)
-
OUT: Sending data to the ibaNet-E device (here: eLumina CCU)
Telegram counter
Number of telegrams for this connection
Lost, duplicated and discarded images
Number of lost, duplicated and discarded images
Ping time
Current maximum and minimum ping time for this connection.
The ping time is a measure of the connection quality of the Ethernet network. The shorter this time is, the better the connection quality, and the more secure the data transmission.
Frame interval and frame header
These areas provide statistical values for the time interval between two frames. The average, maximum and minimum time between two frames is measured both since the connection was established and currently per second.
They also provide information on the number of images per frame, fragments per image, and image size, as well as the date and counter values of the first and last frames received.
