ibaFOB-4io-S Four-Channel Fiber Optic Input Output Interface Card

Product Overview

The ibaFOB-4io-S is a versatile fiber optic interface card featuring four independent bidirectional channels. It combines input and output capabilities in a single card, enabling simultaneous acquisition and transmission of analog and digital signals. This design makes it ideal for applications requiring real-time closed-loop control and monitoring within iba systems.

Technical Specifications

• Four independent bidirectional fiber optic channels

• Transmission rate: 3.3 Mbps per channel

• Supports simultaneous analog and digital input and output

• Compatible with ibaPDA and ibaLogic software platforms

• Designed for integration with ibaLink-SM-128V VMEbus interface

• ST-type fiber optic connectors

• Synchronous data transmission with 1 ms cycle time

System Integration

The ibaFOB-4io-S is fully compatible with the ibaLink-SM-128V VMEbus interface board, enabling bidirectional communication between VME-based control systems and iba data acquisition platforms. It integrates seamlessly with ibaPDA for data acquisition and analysis, and with ibaLogic for soft PLC applications requiring both input and output capabilities.

Application Areas

Typical applications include closed-loop process control, real-time monitoring with simultaneous actuation, and distributed I/O systems where both input and output are required. The card is particularly suited for applications where deterministic bidirectional communication is essential, such as servo control, regulatory loops, and synchronized machine control.

Operational Flexibility

The ibaFOB-4io-S offers flexibility in system design by combining input and output functions in a single interface. Each of the four channels can be independently configured for input or output operations, allowing system integrators to optimize channel usage based on specific application requirements. The card supports both point-to-point and cascade network topologies.

Reliability and Industrial Use

Designed for demanding industrial environments, the ibaFOB-4io-S features robust optical interfaces and high noise immunity. The fiber optic connection provides galvanic isolation between the host system and field devices, ensuring reliable communication over distances up to 2000 meters while protecting against electrical disturbances.

Summary

The ibaFOB-4io-S is a versatile four-channel fiber optic interface card that combines input and output capabilities in a single device. Its bidirectional design, high-speed synchronous transmission, and compatibility with ibaLink-SM-128V make it an ideal solution for closed-loop control and monitoring applications in industrial automation.
