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 gen

eration can be processed by this card.

Furthermore, the ibaNet protocol 5 Mbit/s for fast data acquisition (25 kHz) over de

vices ibaPADU-8-ICP, ibaPADU-8-M or -16-M is supported.

The valid ibaNet protocol of the fiber optic input data stream is detected automatically

by the card. The 32Mbit Flex protocol is supported with firmware version V2.00 (build

172 (C2)) or higher.

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 read

ing the data. It is a significant relief for the CPU load while data traffic is boosted.
