The timebase given here is independent from the K-bus cycle time. The K-bus cycle time depends on the number and the type of the connected terminals and may vary. The maximum cycle time on the K-bus is specified in the Diagnostics tab in the Maximum cycle time field. If each cycle is to be recorded, iba recommends that the time base for ibaPDA should not be more than half the maximum cycle time. It is always the current data telegram that is captured. |
