the Host. After a reset, and until no communication is received from the Host,
this decision is based on the
CFG_EventCH
parameter (see
.
- In the case of IP communications, the Host IP address to which the frame is to be
sent must be determined. This is the
IP-RemoteHost
parameter indicated in
- In the case of Bio-OCX UDP, the Host IP port must also be known. This will be
port 5501 by default.
- Nevertheless, if several
BioMax2 / KBio2-Online
electronics are being routed,
these should be connected to different IP ports in the Host. If they are assigned
automatically by the Host, simply specify a value of
0000
in the
Port-Remote-
Host
parameter (
). In this case,
BioMax2 / KBio2-Online
electronics
cannot determine the destination port until it receives a frame from the Host
and, therefore, no events will be received. This could be a limitation when faced
with an unexpected power cut, as when the power supply is restored,
BioMax2 /
KBio2-Online
electronics will stop generating events until it receives an
instruction from the Host. This limitation can be solved by using the KSP-UDP
protocol, as the event is then transmitted via the Host's 6001 port from any KSP
node.
- In the case of Bio-OCX TCP, events cannot be generated until the Host has
opened the TCP/IP Socket. It is not possible to configure the
CFG_EventCH
parameter (see
) so that events are spontaneously generated
via TCP/IP after a reset.
6. BioMax2 / KBio2-Online electronics communicates very slowly
There are three possible causes:
- The display is not connected or does not respond correctly. In this case,
BioMax2 /
KBio2-Online
electronics is waiting until the end of Display Time-out (
CFG-
UI_DisplayTMO,
). If the display is not connected, the
time-out value may be lowered: 0x0F is an advisable value.
- A computer is trying to communicate with
BioMax2 / KBio2-Online
electronics
via TCP/IP. If the IP filter is not enabled (see
SLK-Safety
in
BioMax2 / KBio2-Online
electronics will generate rejection frames to each
request. Enable the Remote Host IP filter to improve performance and increase
safety.
Many configuration parameters are being written from the application. Each write
requires an EEPROM recording time, which slows down the response times. It is not
advisable to write frequently on the EEPROM.
