Monitor Stream/Event
Data
ADAM modules support a datastream function. This allows you to
define the host (such as a PC) by IP, and ADAM modules will then
periodically transmit their I/O status to the host. The IP address
and transmission period can be configured from the Stream tab in
the Status Display Area. The Stream tab is introduced in Section
6.3.5.
Monitor Peer to Peer
Select this option to receive messages from ADAM modules that
have the P2P (event trigger) function enabled
Monitor GCL IO Data
Message
Select this option to receive I/O data messages from ADAM mod-
ules that have the GCL function enabled.
Note! When you enable the GCL function, the datastream function will auto-
matically be disabled until you disable the GLC function.
