Specify which signals you require for full control of the ibaQDR system.

To do this, it is useful if you have specified the required measuring locations first. For example, measuring locations that are located within the same speed zone can obtain their length signals based on the same speed signal.

Are there measured length values or meter pulses, or are only speed signals available? Depending on whether or not the required signals are available in sufficient quality, you either have to program suitable signals in the PLC or create them in ibaQDR. Where you have clear length signals, you should use them.

In addition, for each measuring location (except measuring locations with offset) you need a signal that transmits the tracking ID.

Some measuring locations require additional signals:

• A measuring location in front of the tracking start requires an “Active” signal.

• A dividing measuring location requires two tracking ID signals.

• A reversing measuring location requires signals for the passes.

To ensure a clear configuration, it is advisable to list the signals in a table.
