Introduction

Where to Use This Board

The board ibaLink-MBII-io is an interface board in Eurocard size (double) for Multibus II

systems.

The board is to be used for data transmission from a Multibus II system to an ibaPDA or

ibaLogic system or for realization of a so called frame-to-frame connection.

The board provides two pairs of fiber optical senders/receivers on the front panel.

Each sender/receiver pair can transmit up to 64 analog and 64 digital signals in each di

rection.

The ibaLink-MBII-io board uses an assigned memory range in the backplane memory of

the Multibus II system. The data to be measured should be written into this memory

range by the supporting system, then converted by the board and transmitted to an iba

system via the standard fiber optical interface with 3.3 Mbit/s.

The fiber optical receiver is used for data sent by an ibaLogic system to the Multibus II

system or for receiving data coming from other iba devices and systems (ibaPADU,

ibaLink-SM-64 / -128 etc.

A cross-over point-to-point connection between an ibaLink-MBII-io card and other iba

components with fiber optical sender/receiver may be sufficient to exchange data without

any software application from iba.
