Distribution mode

5.2.2.1 Distribution of signals of a 32 Mbit/s data stream
If the output signals of an iba device with 32Mbit ibaNet protocol should be transmitted
and distributed to ibaPADU-8-O or ibaNet750 devices then up to 8 FO links (3.3 Mbit/s)
can be supplied with data. In an installation with ibaPADU-8-O devices, for instance, up
to 64 devices can be connected.
5.2.2.2 Reduction of fiber optic cabling
In order to reduce the number of fiber optic cables, particularly over long distances, the
ibaBM-COL-8i-o can be used as a collector for up to 8 FO links (3.3.Mbit/s). Only 1 cable
is required for the data transmission over long distance. Seven FO cables can be saved.
On the target side an ibaBM-DIS-i-8o serves as a data distributor in order to supply 8 FO
links again.

The measuring signals from a PROFIBUS can be made available to several older S5
control systems. The bus monitor ibaBM-DPM-S receives the signals from the PROFI-
BUS and transmits them to ibaBM-DIS-i-8o. ibaBM-DIS-i-8o provides the signals to sev-
eral S5 control systems, equipped with ibaLink-SM-64-io cards as receiver.
