Product features
4.1
Description
Data concentrator
Concentrates 8 ibaNet lines into one line
The inputs support 2 Mbit/s and 3.3 Mbit/s
The output supports 32 Mbit/s
Compatible to ibaFOB-X and ibaFOB-D-cards
24 V power supply
Assembly on the mounting rail
Robust housing
The device ibaBM-COL-8i-o can be used to connect devices with low transmission
rates (2 or 3.3Mbit/s) with devices using high transmission rates (32 Mbit/s). Moreover,
it concentrates the data streams of up to 8 ibaNet fiber optic inputs into one (fiber optic)
output. On the input side it is possible to connect all ibaNet devices that support the so
called F mode (3.3 Mbit/s). This includes for example the most devices of the ibaPADU
series, bus couplers and system interconnections. Since the device also supports the
ibaNet protocol with 2 Mbit/s, it is also possible to connect the earlier versions of
ibaPADU devices (serial number < 1000).
ibaPADU devices for fast measurements (ibaPADU-8-M, -8-ICP and -16-M) cannot be
connected.
The 8 telegrams on the input side with 64 analog and 64 digital values are combined in
the ibaBM-COL-8i-o device into one telegram with 512 analog and 512 digital values
and transmitted in the so called X-mode with 32 Mbit/s to the fiber optic output.
Therefore, an iba FOB-X card or iba FOB-D card must be inserted in the receiving
ibaPDA or ibaLogic-PC.
Application
The application of ibaBM-COL-8i-o allows transmitting the 8-fold data volume of a 2/3.3
Mbit/s transmission over a single fiber optic cable with 32 Mbit/s. Thus, it is possible to
achieve significant reduction of the number of ibaFOB input cards in the existing
systems that have a large number of ibaNet peripheral devices. The free slots resulting
from this can be used for new additional measuring cards. Thus, it also allows
connecting the earlier versions of devices to the ibaNet technology with 32 Mbit/s.
