At least a reference to the naming scheme in the higher-level systems and thus meaningful naming of the ibaQDR DAT file is essential. This text signal must exist before the ibaQDR DAT file is generated and is generally provided by Level 2/3 or the MES via a TCP/IP-telegram. As mentioned already, it is also possible to export this data directly from a database using the DB interface.

If the product name (e.g. the finished coil number) is not yet defined immediately before completion, it is possible to specify the final name later using ibaDatCoordinator (data update task). If temporary autonomous operation of the line without Level 2/3 (MES) is possible, the reference information should be provided directly by Level 1.
