  • Page 39 Manual Due to the large data amounts that are usually captured with ibaBM-DP, it makes sense in most cases to operate just one device on a 32Mbit Flex link. Reserved bandwidth for Ethernet communication The Ethernet channel (address 0) is used to transmit configuration data, to communicate with the web interface and especially with ibaBM-DP for the display of the Profibus diag- nosis.
  • Page 40: Configuration Of Output Modules

    Manual ibaFOB-D Configuration of output modules 8.2.1 Introduction For a number of devices, it is possible to transmit signals from ibaPDA to a device via the FOB output channel. These output signals are mainly intended to signal events or to trigger alarms or warnings.

  • Page 53: 32Mbit Flex Protocol And Ibafob-D Network

    The ibaNet 32Mbit Flex protocol (referred to as "Flex protocol") is a manufacturer specific data transfer protocol by iba AG. This protocol serves to transfer measurement and con- figuration data via FO connections between different iba devices. The PC boards of the ibaFOB-D/ibaFOB-Dexp and ibaFOB-io-ExpressBoard series, the ibaFOB-io-USB adapter as well as some devices for data acquisition support this protocol.
  • Page 54: Ibafob-D Network

     More information about data size in the Flex ring, see chap. 8.1.6.2 11.2 ibaFOB-D Network Beginning with ibaPDA version 6.26.0 or higher, an ibaFOB-D network adapter will be optionally installed. Optionally, the installation of the driver can also be disabled in the installation wizard. For an individual installation the file ibaFobDNetworkInstall.exe is available.
  • Page 55: Ip Addresses In The Ibafob-D Network

    11.2.1 IP Addresses in the ibaFOB-D network The Flex devices are identified via an IP address in the ibaFOB-D network. The IP ad- dress of the ibaFOB-D network adapter is by default: 172.29.0.100 and the subnet mask 255.255.0.0.
