Application

5.1
The ibaFOB-PlusControl card couples the iba process data acquisition system ibaPDA
with Siemens PLUSCONTROL systems. To achieve this, the ibaFOB-PlusControl card
must be connected to a PLUSCONTROL CP.
The connection supports a data transmission rate of 1 Gbit/s. Up to 400 analog or digital
signals can be transmitted.
The parameters are completely configured in the software. Jumper settings are not nec-
essary.

Characteristics

5.2
The card has the following characteristics:
 PCI Express card for 1.0-x1 compatible slot
 Firmware update without dismounting the card
 Bidirectional fiber optic link with SC technology
 Transmission rate up to 1 Gbit/s
 Absolutely noise free acquisition of process data
 Display for card ID, processor and link status via 7-segment display and LEDs
 Up to 4 PCIe cards per PC (depending on performance and workload, especially
when data transmission rate is high, the number of cards per PC should be limited
to 3 or 2)
 Plug and play installation

Operational modes

5.3
The ibaFOB-PlusControl card in combination with ibaPDA is suitable for measurement
data acquisiton with free operand/symbol selection.
The data to be measured is requested online by ibaPDA. For this purpose the symbolic
names and addresses of all available variables are read from the PLUSCONTROL CP
and stored internally in ibaPDA when the connection has been established for the first
time. This address book serves as base to select the measuring data using the address
book browser.
