  • Page 5: Introduction

    The boards ibaFOB-io-PCI, ibaFOB-io-S, ibaFOB-4i-PCI, ibaFOB-4i-S, ibaFOB-4o and ibaFOB-OF-Link are fiber optic communication cards which are used to connect a stan- dard PC to the iba peripheral devices such as ibaPADUs, ibaNet750-BM devices and ibaLink signal modules (SM). As far as the following text does not refer to a particular card, the boards are referred to as ibaFOB boards.
  • Page 6 Manual ibaFOB-4i-S / -io-S The ibaFOB-4i-S or ibaFOB-io-S devices represent the new generation of iba's fiber optic PC boards. These boards replace the ibaFOB x/4, ibaFOB x/4-F and ibaFOB 2/2 IO boards which were based on the PC ISA bus definition. The new boards are 100% com- patible on the fiber optical bus side while in the PC the interface and dual port ram layout differ between the old and new boards.

    I/O system for 256 analog and 256 digital in- and outputs. To do this connect the ibaFOB-4o to the ibaFOB-4i-S (with the 10 pole connector). The ibaFOB-4o as well as the ibaFOB-4i-S hold the additional connector (6-pole) to wire the ibaFOB-OF-Link card which monitors the in and outputs without additional time delay.
  • Page 14 Page 14 Manual ibaFOB-4i-S / -io-S  If the PC power supply is switched OFF, all “monitored signals” are off because the monitoring involves an optical – electrical –optical conversion - which cannot work without the PC´s power supply. ...

    8.3.4. Fiber Optic Interfaces of ibaFOB-4i-S The ibaFOB-4i-S provides four optical receivers (grey ST jacks). Channel 1 is located nearest to the 7-segment display.  If the card was configured for external synchronization, e. g. for operation with an ibaBM-SLM, the first (upper) input channel needs to be connected with the external device for proper function (otherwise the whole PC process will be stopped).

  • Page 18: Fiber Optic Interfaces Of Ibafob-4O (Optional)

    The ibaFOB-4o provides four optical transmitters (white ST jacks). Channel #1 is the up- per channel. Beside the fiber optic ports, this module provides fur- ther connections to… - ibaFOB-4i-S (compatible to all predecessors) - ibaFOB-OF-Link Two different builds are available: a) with short front plate (picture) ibaRackline PCs have special slots in the housing for this kind of build.

  • Page 19: Synchronisation Output Module Ibafob-Sync-Out (Optional)

    PCs may be synchronized. The blue jacks on the flat ribbon cable should be plugged into the light blue connectors on the iba PCI- cards in the master PC. One card among these must be configured as interrupt master.

  • Page 20: Configuration And Engineering

    The entire configuration is to be done in the I/O-manager of ibaPDA-V6. The board is managed as data interface of type FOBF-PCI. The same interface type is used for ibaFOB-4i-S and ibaFOB-io-S. The system automati- cally detects which type(s) of card(s) are installed in the PC and displays them in the sig- nal tree 9.1.1.

  • Page 21: Module And Signal Configuration

    / -io-S Manual Page 21 If you open the "link"-branches you can see the connected devices (= modules). Each link is subdivided in eight groups of eight channels each (64 in total per link) which corre- sponds to the smallest information package in the ibaPADU-8 philosophy.
  • Page 22 Page 22 Manual ibaFOB-4i-S / -io-S Under the tabs Analog and Digital you can enter and configure the signals. In the signal tables you can give a name to the signals assign physical units and limit val- ues (Max, Min) or set the signals active or passive. The column Actual shows already in- coming values when an active device is physically connected.

  • Page 23: Diagnosis

    The main branch General in the tree view, tab Interrupt Info, shows the interrupt counter. The counter iba-Interrupts must have 1000 increments per second! If not, the interrupt master is missing. In this case check the card settings. In the dialog box of the link level (see 9.1.1), tab Info, you can see if the communication between ibaFOB card and ibaPADU device is working by checking the baud rate value.

  • Page 24: Synchronization Of Several Boards

    Manual ibaFOB-4i-S / -io-S Synchronization of Several Boards Shut down the computer, remove the power connection and plug in the other iba PCI cards. Connect the snyc-wire between the devices. This is now necessary because the PCI bus does not support any synchronization signal on the bus which is available at all slots si- multaneously.
