Important note

to “Ring” mode.
In DriveWindow, the parameter “CH3 HW CONNECTION” in the parameter set “DDCS
Control” of each drive has to be checked and set to “RING”.

Connection of a computer with DriveWindow
ibaBM-DDCS offers a third fiber optic connection for connecting an external computer
with DriveWindow software. The communication between the DriveWindow computer
and the drives is looped through ibaBM-DDCS, there is no active data exchange with
ibaBM-DDCS.
Important note
As long as the DriveWindow computer is active, ibaBM-DDCS slows down the active data
query on the parameter channel and passes on the DriveWindow computer query via this
connection. The passive logging of the signals (data set query) continues as usual.
