IbaDAQ-C independent data acquisition device

Info tab:

Hardware information: Display board version, firmware version, and internal temperature.

Firmware update: Click the Write firmware button and select the. iba format update file to upgrade (the update process cannot be interrupted).

Device restart: Click the Reboot device button to remotely restart the device.

Remote Desktop Settings: Can configure whether to allow remote desktop connections (disable/allow all/secure connections only).

LED customization: Assign signals to PDA1 and PDA2 LEDs and configure the lighting color (green/yellow/red) to achieve visual indication of the on-site status.

Module addition and data collection

Users can add communication interface modules as needed. MQTT and PLC Xplorer interfaces are included in the factory, while other interfaces (such as OPC UA Server) require separate authorization. After adding the module, users can configure specific signal acquisition tasks.

File Sharing Settings

To facilitate data collection through network access, users can set up read-only file sharing on ibaDAQ-C. Attention should be paid when configuring:

If the device and workstation are located in the same domain, there is usually no need for additional authentication.

If the device is located in a workgroup, accessing the shared directory requires entering the device's username and password (such as daq/daq).

If you are unable to access the shared directory, please check if network discovery and file sharing settings are enabled.

Special functions and application scenarios

Use in conjunction with compact UPS

To achieve high reliability data acquisition, it is recommended to use a UPS with digital output function to power ibaDAQ-C. Connect the digital output of UPS to the digital input X5 of the device. When the mains power is interrupted, UPS can notify ibaDAQ-C to shut down safely through this signal. This digital input has the following characteristics:

Electrical isolation, supporting bipolar input

Logic "1" level:<-10 V or>+10 V

Maximum input voltage: ± 60 V

Response delay: approximately 50 μ s

Dual Network Separation Application

A typical application scenario is to place ibaDAQ-C between two networks:

X21 interface: Connect to the factory's IT network for remote monitoring and uploading data to cloud platforms or databases.

X22 interface: Connect to an independent process control network to directly collect real-time data from devices such as PLCs and drivers.

This architecture ensures the isolation of the process network, avoiding the impact of IT network traffic or potential security risks on critical production processes.

Mobile measurement and on-site debugging

With its compact size and sturdy design, ibaDAQ-C can be easily deployed in scenarios such as cranes, test vehicles, and mobile test benches. On site engineers can directly configure and view data locally by connecting displays, keyboards, and mice, or remotely connect through laptops, greatly improving the efficiency of on-site work.

Common problem handling

Unable to obtain IP address: In a managed network environment, IT department approval may be required for device access. You can contact the network administrator to add the MAC address of the device to the whitelist.

Unable to access shared folder: Check if "Network Discovery" and "File and Printer Sharing" are enabled in "Advanced Sharing Settings".

Remote Desktop cannot connect: Check the Remote Desktop settings in the "Info" tab of the device to ensure they are not disabled.
