The device supports different ibaNet protocols:

32Mbit Flex

Using 32Mbit Flex, configuration as well as process data is transmitted via a bidirectional

fiber optics connection. ibaPDA automatically detects the modules used and the signals

can be easily selected and configured by mouse click.

With 32Mbit Flex, the sampling rate can be flexibly set up to 40 kHz. The maximum data

volume to be transmitted depends on the adjusted sampling rate. The following rule ap

plies: the higher the sampling rate, the lower the data volume. The ibaPDA application

automatically determines the maximum sampling rate, which depends on the desired

data volume and the number of devices in the ring.

With the ibaNet protocol 32Mbit Flex, it is possible to connect up to 15 devices to a ring

topology. The signal limitation applies for the entire ring. Thereby, the distance between

the devices can be up to 2 km. Other 32Mbit Flex-enabled iba devices can be integrated

into the ring as well.

32Mbit

The 32Mbit protocol is especially used with ibaLogic-V4 version 4.2.5.464 or later. With

the 32Mbit protocol it is possible to connect an ibaNet750-BM-D system to ibaLogic with

a data transmission rate of 32 Mbit/s. The cycle time is 500 µs and up to 256 (REAL) /

512 (INT) analog and digital signals are transmitted. A bidirectional fiber optic connection

is necessary in order to integrate output terminals.

3Mbit

Using the 3Mbit protocol, the device is compatible to the previous ibaNet750-BM version.

Up to 8 devices may be connected in a line topology and used as pure input or output

devices. If input and output signals should be processed at the same time, it is recom

mended to use a ring topology. Moreover, the devices may operate peer-to-peer without

a PC involved. The cycle time is 1 ms in all applications.
