Using 32Mbit Flex configuration as well as process data is transmitted via a bidirectional fiber optic cable connection.
What is particularly comfortable for the user: ibaPDA automatically detects the modules used and the signals can be easily selected and configured by mouse click.
With the ibaNet protocol 32Mbit Flex, the sampling rate can be flexibly set up to 40 kHz. The maximum data volume to be transmitted depends on the adjusted sampling rate: The higher the sampling rate, the lower the data volume.
The ibaPDA application automatically determines the maximum sampling rate, which depends on the type and number of the terminals.
With 32Mbit Flex, it is possible to connect up to 15 devices to a ring topology.
The signal limitation applies to the entire ring. Thereby, the distance between the devices can be up to 2 km. Other 32Mbit Flex-enabled iba devices can be integrated into the ring as well.
The 32Mbit protocol is especially used in ibaLogic applications. The device is connected to an ibaLogic system via a bidirectional fi ber optic connection. Using a cycle time of 500 µs data is transmitted with a minimum delay to ibaLogic, which samples with 1 ms.
Up to 256 (REAL)/512 (INT) analog and digital signals can be transmitted per cycle.
Using the 3Mbit protocol, the device is compatible to the previous ibaNet750-BM version. Up to 8 devices may be connected in a line topology and used as pure input or output devices.
If input and output signals should be processed at the same time, it is recommended to use a ring topology.
Moreover, the devices may operate peer-to-peer without a PC involved. The cycle time is 1 ms in all applications.
