generated. The data is exchanged with the P2_DP_Communication program as ar-
rays with 244 Bytes. The following tasks are carried out:
Definition of the slaves to be simulated
Converting the received data (arrays) into the slave-specific data structures (see
table above).
Processing the received values and generating the data to be sent (simulation)
Collecting and converting the data structure to be sent into the 244 Byte arrays
for data transfer
P2_DP_Communication:
The TCP/IP communication with ibaBM-DP is handled here. The user data is se-
quentially processed, i.e. the headers are added and the data is sent consecutively
to ibaBM-DP via TCP/IP. The following tasks are carried out:
Process control of sending and receiving TCP/IP telegrams.
Selection of output data per slave
Calling the macro “transmit/receive”. The macro adds the headers before send-
ing, and evaluates and removes them after the reception.
The receive telegram is copied into the slave specific data array.
14.4.3 Diagnostics with ibaPDA
As described in chapter 14.2, you can use the diagnostic functions in ibaPDA in order to
check if all slaves are simulated and if the simulation program generates input data.
