8 Connection type
The connection type defines the mode of connection between control system
(Originator) and the measuring system (Target).
In this case, the data stream is distinguished:
● O -> T: Data packets from
Originator
to
Target
● T -> O: Data packets from
Target
to
Originator
The measuring system supports the following connection types:
1. Exclusive Owner
Exclusive Owner
specifies an independent connection where a single device
controls the output states in the target device. If already an
Exclusive Owner
connection to a target device is present, it is not possible to specify another
Exclusive Owner
connection to that same target device.
2. Input Only
Input Only
specifies 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 outputs; it only receives inputs. It is possible to
specify multiple
Input Only
connections to the target device from different
originators.
3. Listen Only
Listen Only
specifies a dependent connection where a device receives inputs
from the target device, but does not send configuration data with the network. A
Listen Only
connection only functions properly when another NON-
Listen
Only
connection exists to the same target device. A
Listen Only
connection
does not send outputs; it only receives inputs. It is possible to specify multiple
Listen Only
connections to the target device from different originators.
