8 Connection Types – Connection Points
The connection type defines the type of connection between the sender = control system (originator)
and the target = measuring system (target).
A distinction is also made between the data flow:
•
O -> T: Data packets from
Originator
to
Target
•
T -> O: Data packets from
Target
to
Originator
The measuring system supports the following connection types:
Exclusive Owner
Refers to an independent connection where a single device controls the output states in the target
device. If an
Exclusive Owner
connection already exists to a target device
no further
Exclusive Owner
connection can be defined to this target device.
Input Only
Refers to an independent connection where a device receives inputs from the target device and sends
configuration data to the network. An
Input Only
connection does not send any outputs, only inputs
can be received. But several
Input Only
connections can be defined from various senders to the
target device.
