5 Configuration → Q.gate and Q.pac settings
A change in the baud rate is also carried out automatically on the
modules connected to the interface.
Communication monitoring: With a value > 0 the module
error LED is activated if there is a lack of communication after
this period.
Response delay: This
parameter is only needed when the mod-
ules are not directly connected to this interface, but instead con-
nected to a modem, for example. Then enter the time here which
is to be awaited
additionally due to the slow connection.
5.8.2 Host interface
This parameter group defines the settings for communication
with the host(s) (other Test Controllers, PC, PLC, etc.). Refer also
to Time synchronization, page 123 (Section 5.8.3.3).
Since the Test Controller can also operate as an FTP server and
FTP c
lient, the settings for sending e-mails, for example, can also
be defined here. Further information on these parameters can be
found in the System Guide Manual.
5.8.3 Settings
Using this parameter group you define, for example, life signs or
the location name. The parameters available are different for the
Q.gate and Q.pac; the parameters only available with the Q.pac
are appropriately labeled.
5.8.3.1 General remarks
Location
Here, assign a name for the Test Controller.
PAC functionality
(only Q.pac)
Activates or deactivates the PAC functionality. With active PAC
functionality only two ring buffers maximum (refer to
Section 5.8.3.4, page 125) are available. The PAC functionality
enables you to program more complex function
s such as PID con-
trollers, function generators, etc. via the software e.con, which
can be gra
phically programmed.
