* Possible, but not recommended due to risk of crash of programming if the communication is lost.
Connection speed
Up to 3000 Bps
Hint:
IG-IB communication is typically faster than modem:
- when IG-IB is connected to controller via CAN and LAN - 3000 Bps
- when IG-IB is connected to controller via RS232 and LAN - 1200 Bps
- when IG-IB is connected to controller via CAN and Internet - ~500 Bps
- when IG-IB is connected to controller via RS232 and Internet - ~500 Bps (depends on the
internet line throughput).
Connection from PC
For connection from PC see the manual of the PC program (InteliMonitor, etc.).
Open the Open/Select connection window and set:
Internet type of connection
Controller address
Access code
IG-IB IP address
Note that IP address you set can be different from the IP address of iG-IB (when the iG-IB IP address
is not public). It depends on gateway setting:

COMPANY ETHERNET
One controller - RS232 connection
In this case no dongle is necessary.
One unit could be also connected via CAN interface.

Two controllers – CAN / Ethernet connection
The dongle must be used. The type of IG-IB dongle limits number of accessible controllers (up to 32).
Dongles for up to 3, 7, 15 and 32 controllers are available. See also IG-IB Dongle
