The ibaFOB-D cards can be used for connecting a computer with iba field devices like ibaPADU analog-digital converter units, ibaNet750 devices, ibaLink system couplings and iba bus monitors. Moreover, the cards can be used for connecting an iba system with selected automation systems of other manu-facturers such as ABB AC 800PEC or SIMATIC TDC with LO5/LO6 interface. The cards are the successors of the former models iba-FOB-S and ibaFOB-X and they can entirely replace those cards. The cards provide different numbers of fiber optical links and they are available as short standard PCI or PCI express cards. Communication protocols All current and former ibaNet communication protocols are supported. Thus, data from an old ibaPADU device (S/N < 1000) as well as from an ibaPADU-S-IT of the new generation can be processed at the same time on the same card. Furthermore, the ibaNet protocol 5 Mbit/s for fast data acquisition (25 kHz) over devices ibaPADU-8-ICP, ibaPADU-8-M or -16-M is supported. The fiber optical input/output channels of one card can de-tect and process all valid ibaNet protocols independently from each other. Fast data processing with reduced CPU load Due to the DMA technology (DMA = Direct Memory Access) measured data are written directly into the computer's memory which is used by the software application for reading the data. It is a significant relief for the CPU load while data traffic is boosted. Moreover, the number of cards can be reduced consi-derably in existing systems by replacing old ibaFOB cards with ibaFOB-D cards. For example, up to 8 FO lines can be merged and connected to just one FO link on the card in combination with the device ibaBM-COL-8i-o. Extension module for output signals The cards ibaFOB-4i-D and ibaFOB-2i-D can be upgraded with up to 2 ibaFOB-4o-D output modules. The extension module is connected with the board inside the computer. The module provides 2 different functions: ■ Mirroring of inputs The optical signals of the input channels are mirrored to the output channels without delay. ■ Application outputs and duplex operation Software applications such as ibaPDA-V6 and ibaLogic-V4 can generate outputs like alarm signals or control output signals Only 1 ibaFOB-4o-D module is required for the cards ibaFOB-io-D and ibaFOB-2io-D to mirror inputs and out-puts. ibaFOB-4o-D www.iba-ag.com
