Configuring ibaBM-DP
-
Start the ibaPDA client and open the I/O Manager.
-
In the interface tree (left), select the link of the ibaFOB card to which ibaBM-DP is connected.
Click on the blue command Click to add module. Select the ibaBM-DP module in the dialog box and assign a name via the input field if required. Confirm the selection with <OK>.
-
If you operate the device in Flex mode, ibaPDA sets the IP address of the device on the General tab under Connection automatically.
If you operate the device in compatibility mode, enter the IP address of the device on the General tab under Connection: either as name e.g. "DP_000100" or as IP address e.g. "192.168.81.123".
Note
An online connection to the device via Ethernet or USB is mandatory in compatibility mode. The manual of the ibaBM-DP device explains how to establish and check this connection.
The device manual also describes differences between Flex mode and compatibility mode in detail.
-
Add a request module (or several modules, in case you need more connections to one or to different S7-CPUs) to the ibaBM-DP module on the respective PROFIBUS connection Bus 0 or Bus 1. Available modules are:
-
S7 request (for acquiring analog signals and digital signals)
-
S7 request decoder (for the acquisition of up to 1024 digital signals)
-
-
Configure the required module settings and signals as described in the following chapters. The General and Connection tabs are identical for all Request modules. The Request modules only differ in the Analog and Digital tabs.
-
After you have finished the configuration, click <Apply> or <OK> to transfer the new configuration to the device and start data acquisition with ibaPDA.
