Operating state and user-defined displays

Multi-colored LEDs (Lic and Dat) indicate the status of the license and data recording. It

is possible to assign signals to 2 multi-colored LEDs in ibaPDA to display user-defined

states.

Operating elements

ON/OFF switch S11

By switching the device off and on again, the supply voltage is disconnected and re

connected and the device is rebooted. There are different ways to shut down or switch

off the running device:

 Press briefly: system shuts down

 Press and hold (> 5 s): system switches off (no controlled shut-down)

Rotary switch S1

The S1 rotary switch is used to specify IP address settings:

Position

Description

0  User-defined settings can be assigned for the interfaces X21 and X22.

The IP addresses can be configured in ibaPDA or in the system settings.

1

2

DHCP active for X21 and X22 (factory setting)

fixed IP addresses

X21: 192.168.1.1

X22: 192.168.1.2

3…F

Not allowed

It is also possible to select different address assignment methods for the two interfaces

X21 and X22. Example:

 X21 = Interface for the IT network, DHCP is active

 X22 = Interface for the process network with fixed IP address 192.168.121.2

Procedure:

1. First, set switch S1 to position 1 and establish a connection between the ibaPDA

client and ibaDAQ-C. To do so, start the ibaPDA client on your PC and follow the

steps in chapter 9.1.

2. Set switch S1 to position 0.

3. Open the I/O Manager in ibaPDA, select the node ibaDAQ-C and switch to the "Info”

tab.

Assign the appropriate settings for the network interfaces. For the above example,

select "Use DHCP" for X21. For X22. uncheck "Use DHCP" and enter a fixed IP ad

dress that matches your network. Click onto activate the settings.

Communication interfaces

Network interface X21. X22

The device can be integrated into Ethernet networks via the network interfaces X21 and

X22. Settings for the IP address can be made at the S1 rotary switch.

 See chapter 7.3.2

DHCP is activated in the factory settings.

It is also possible to connect ibaNet-E capable devices via these interfaces.

USB ports

 USB 2.0 (X25): 480 Mbit/s

 USB 3.0 (X24): up to 5 Gbit/s

DisplayPort X26

DisplayPort to connect a monitor. If the monitor does not have a DisplayPort, an adapter

can be used, e. g. CSL - 3in1 DisplayPort to VGA + HDMI + DVI adapter.

Digital input X5

You can connect an input signal at the bottom of the device, bipolar and electrically iso

lated.

The X5 input can be used to initiate a safe shut-down when a trigger signal indicates that

the voltage supply is interrupted.

The switching threshold of the input is >4 V and the level must not exceed 60 V to prevent

damage to the device.
