The CFG_EventCH parameter should take the
$0C
value for the BioMax2 / KBio2-
Online Electronics to spontaneously transmit Online frames through this channel.
6.3. Routing and Localisation
BioMax2 / KBio2-Online electronics can be part of a local IP network, supporting
several communication protocols. There are several routing modes for this reason. The
different
BioMax2 / KBio2-Online electronics addresses can be consulted in the
configuration instructions (also see
section 8.2
) or
Kimaldi Localisation Service
(see SLK
- Programming Manual ).
6.3.1. Routing hardware
In terms of Hardware, the BioMax2 / KBio2-Online electronics have two jumpers (JP2
and JP1; see
chapter 4.2.: “Connection details, BioMax2”
or
chapter 4.4.: “Connector
signals, KBio2-Online”
) to encode the high part ( Application_ID ) of the bus address. Its
low part is encoded through a byte in the configuration.
The extended address of the node shall be binary encoded for the 10 bits: Jumpers (2,1),
CFG_KSP_AddrLo . With JP2 being the heaviest bit, followed by JP1 and then the
configuration byte. The jumpers take logic value 1 when the bridge is on and 0 if not.
The BioMax2 / KBio2-Online electronics reads the configuration of the jumpers on
receiving the power supply. Therefore, if the address is to be changed, the power supply
should be switched off for a moment or and an
ApplyCFG
instruction sent for the changes
to take effect.
6.3.2. KSP Address
If we communicate with the BioMax2 / KBio2-Online electronics via KSP (
Subsection
6.2.4.
), the address corresponding to it is determined in the following way:
- KSP Application: this has a value between 11 and 14 (
$0B
and
$0E
), obtained by
adding 11 to the JP1, JP2 value.
- KSP ID: this is an 8 bit value ranging from 1 to 254 (
$01
and
$FE
) that is
expressed by the configuration byte CFG_KSP_AddrLo .
6.3.3. MAC Address
The MAC Address of each BioMax2 / KBio2-Online electronics is unique and assigned
by the manufacturer. It is labelled above the electronics in hexadecimal format.
6.3.4. IP Address
The IP address of each BioMax2 / KBio2-Online electronics will be user-assigned based
on the characteristics of the local area to which it is connected. This is generally a
configuration field, which can be user-modified through the
Kimaldi Localisation Service
or any service for connection to the Host (see all configuration fields in section 8.2 ).
