Introduction

The card ibaLink-SM-64-io is an interface board in double European size, with modified

design for SIMATIC S5 (8 bit and 16 bit) and SIMICRO MMC 216.

It is used for transmission of measured data from a SIMATIC S5 or SIMICRO MMC 216

system to an ibaPDA or ibaLogic system or for realization of a so called frame connec

tion.

The card provides a fiber optical (FO) transmitter and receiver on the front panel.

Up to 64 analog (Integer / Float) and 64 digital signals can be transmitted over these

connections.

The ibaLink-SM-64-io-card uses a dedicated memory range on the backplane bus of the

S5 or MMC system. The data to be measured are written into this memory range by the

system where the card is plugged in and are transmitted over an iba standard fiber optical

interface with 3.3 Mbit/s to the iba system.

The fiber optical receiver is used for data being sent from an ibaLogic system to the S5

or MMC system and for input of measured data from other iba systems or devices

(ibaPADU, ibaLink-MBII, ibaLink-SM-128V-i-2o etc.) to the S5 or MMC system.

By means of a crossed over point-to-point connection between two ibaLink-SM-64-io

cards or an ibaLink-SM-64-io card and another iba component with FO transmitter and

receiver in another PLC system, data can be exchanged even without an iba software

application.
