Product Highlights
Coupling to Field and Drive Buses
By using the iba bus monitors, an iba data acquisition system can be connected to standard bus technologies and acquire data from the buses and the connected hardware.
No interferences
All bus monitors are coupled without interferences in the bus and facilitate the monitoring and recording of data traffic between automation and peripherals, without compromising or straining the automation.
Sniffer Mode
The iba bus monitors usually have two modes of operation. In the sniffer mode (= listening), the values communicated via the bus are read and recorded as signals. Configuration changes are not required in this case.
Active Mode
In the active mode, known as "active slave", the bus monitor can receive the values sent to it from the control system. The bus monitor can be specifically addressed by the bus master and supplied with any measured values. All internal values can be collected in this way without having to place them on an analog or digital terminal.
Diagnostics
The iba bus monitors offer a substantial amount of diagnostic information about the status of the field bus in order to be able to quickly detect bus errors. Information on the slaves is also displayed.
Convenient Configuration in ibaPDA
The configuration of signals conveniently takes place in the I/O manager of ibaPDA. By using automatic detection in ibaPDA, the connected devices are detected in ibaPDA and displayed in the I/O manager.
The required adjustments for the signals are made quickly thanks to the simple user interface and are stored in the devices.
The modern Classic of Data Acquisition
As the central core of the iba system, ibaPDA has proven itself as one of the most versatile data acquisition systems for maintenance and production for many years. Among the many powerful features of ibaPDA are asset-agnostic acquisition, high-speed synchronous archiving, and real-time streaming analytics.
