You can find the description of all general settings that are identical for all Request-S7 modules in chapter General module settings.
Information about the connection settings on the Connection tab can be found in chapter Connection settings.
The S7 Request module for ibaNet-E has the following specific setting options in the General tab:
ibaNet-E
Sample time
Sample time on the controller side, corresponding to the cycle time of the function block requests.
Images per frame
Number of ibaNet-E images in one frame
Drift compensation
Disable drift compensation if the data is sent less frequently than every 10 ms to improve processing of the received data.
Time domain
ibaNet time domain from which the data is to be recorded
Enter the number of the ibaNet time domain here if the data belonging to this time domain is to be synchronized. When this property is set to zero (default), no time domain is used.
When using a time domain, drift compensation needs to be enabled (drift compensation = True).
Reference connection
The reference connection of a time domain is the connection to which the other connections of the same time domain are synchronized.
Connection
Auto enable/disable
If this option is enabled and ibaPDA is unable to establish a connection to the S7 at the start of acquisition, ibaPDA disables this module and starts acquisition without the module. During acquisition, ibaPDA tries to connect to the S7. If successful, acquisition is restarted with the module enabled. If this option is disabled and ibaPDA is unable to establish a connection to the S7 at the start of acquisition, ibaPDA does not start acquisition.
