iba Applications
The described modes and analysis regulations are displayed differently in ibaLogic-V5
and ibaPDA. ibaPDA scales the calculated analog value to the target value with the ap-
propriate SI unit. The signal designations can be found in the related chapters.
9.1
Encoder parameter file
A so called encoder parameter file in xml format has to be available on the central unit
so that the encoder and the available modes can be detected and configured.
9.1.1
Creation of an encoder parameter file
There are two ways to create an encoder parameter file:
An encoder parameter file can be manually created. For this purpose, a template
may be used which is available on the DVD
“iba Software & Manuals”
(02_iba_Hardware\ibaMS4xUCO\EncoderParameterFiles-XML\Template\). The de-
scription of the encoder parameter file can be found in chapter 11.3.
iba recommends using the encoder parameter file editor (short: EPF editor), which
can be started in ibaPDA. The EPF editor is described hereinafter. The EPF editor
is also available as separate software tool, free of charge. Please contact the iba
support.
9.1.1.1 Encoder parameter file editor
The EPF editor can be started in ibaPDA by selecting the ibaMS4xUCO module in the
I/O manager and then clicking the
option “Create new encoder file…” on the “General”
tab in the encoder type field.
