The ibaFOB I/O Concept

The unique peripheral I/O concept based on the ibaFOB boards, features characteristics

otherwise unknown on standardized field busses such as:

 Full deterministic transmission profiles for all fiber optic buses and connected devices

(1 ms).

 Internal and/or external synchronization on the bus, even for more than one bus with

programmable cycle times between 1.0 and 9.9 ms in steps of 100 μs.

 Deviation less than 2 μs between several busses (external synchronization)

 The iba fiber optic transmission standard integrates not only A/D converters (ibaPADU)

but a huge variety of PLC interfaces and hence allows the realization of heterogene

ous measuring and I/O topologies. The following devices can be connected:

 ibaFOB cards incl. ibaFOB-OF-Link

 ibaLink-SM-64-io (Siemens Simatic S5 115U, 135U 155U; MMC216 all types)

 ibaLink-SM-128V-i-2o (VME32 & VME64 rack)

 ibaNet750 (Wago IO system 750)

 ibaBM-FOX-i-3o (FO-splitter and repeater)

 ibaPADU-8. ibaPADU-8-ICP, ibaPADU-8-M, ibaPDAU-8-S, ibaPADU-16.

ibaPADU-16-M-2. ibaPADU-32-T, ibaPADU-32-R and ibaPADU-8-O

 ibaBM-SLM (Simolink Monitor for Siemens Motion Link Bus)

 ibaBM-DDCSM (Monitor for ABB DDCS+ Drivebus)

 Adjustable bus timing (ring topology in combination with ibaLogic only!)

 Easy handling without the termination problems of copper based systems (ground

loops, termination etc.)

 The integration in hazardous areas is no problem in terms of EMI due to the fiber

optic communication concept.

 One source can be accessed by multiple clients at the same time by just multiply

ing the optical fibers (ibaBM-FOX-i-3o and ibaFOB-OF-Link splitting devices) – so

I/O peripherals may be used for process control and measuring at the same time.

This also makes redundant structures easy.
