Introduction

Application

The ibaFOB-TDCexp card couples the iba Process Data Acquisition system ibaPDA with

the Siemens control system SIMATIC TDC. To achieve this, the ibaFOB-TDCexp card

must be connected to one of the free ports of the CP52IO (GDM Interface Module of the

SIMATIC TDC).

Characteristics

The card has the following characteristics:

 PCI Express card for 1.0-x1 compatible slot

 100 % functional compatible with the predecessor ibaFOB-TDC

 Firmware update without dismounting the card

 Bidirectional fiber optic link with 640 Mbit/s

 Absolutely noise free acquisition of process data

 Enhanced SIMATIC TDC system diagnostics

 Display for card id, processor and link status via 7-segment display and LEDs

 Up to 4 PCIe cards per PC

 Plug and play installation

 All component parameters are 100% controlled by software. No wiring or jumpering

is necessary for that card.
