8 Connection Types – Connection Points
The connection type defines the type of connection between the sender = control system (originator)
and the target = measuring system (target).
A distinction is also made between the data flow:
• O -> T: Data packets from Originator to Target
• T -> O: Data packets from Target to Originator
The measuring system supports the following connection types:
Exclusive Owner
Refers to an independent connection where a single device controls the output states in the target
device. If an Exclusive Owner connection already exists to a target device no further
Exclusive Owner connection can be defined to this target device.
Input Only
Refers to 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 any outputs, only inputs
can be received. But several Input Only connections can be defined from various senders to the
target device.
