Systems and Design
5.1
System requirements
In order to be able to connect the devices, they must meet the following requirements:
Input side: device with a transfer rate of 2 Mbit/s or 3.3 Mbit/s with a cycle time of
1 ms
Output side: iba-card with a transfer rate of 32 Mbit/s, for example ibaFOB-D-card
or ibaFOB-X-card
Note
If all inputs of an ibaFOB-X-card are operated at the maximum capacity, some values
can get lost during data transfer. Therefore, it is recommended to use the latest iba
technology standard of the ibaFOB-D-cards with the device.

System without ibaBM-COL-8i-o
In this example all 4 inputs of the card are used.
