IBA ibaPADU-D-8AI-U Compact Measurement Modules

IBA  ibaPADU-D-8AI-U  Compact Measurement Modules

Fiber optic connections X10 and X11

❑ X11 (RX): FO receiving interface

❑ X10 (TX): FO sending interface

On the ibaPDA system, a FO input/output card of the ibaFOB-D or ibaFOB-Dexp type or

an ibaFOB-ioUSB adapter has to be installed for receiving and sending the data.

Maximum distance of fiber optic connections

The maximum distance of fiber optic connections between 2 devices depends on various

influencing factors. This includes, for example, the specification of the fiber (e.g.

50/125 μm, 62.5/125 μm, etc.), or the attenuation of other components in the fiber optic

cable plant such as couplers or patch panels.

However, the maximum distance can be estimated on the basis of the output power of

the transmitting interface (TX) or the sensitivity of the receiving interface (RX). A model

calculation can be found in chapter 11.3.

The specification of the transmitter’s output power and the receiver’s sensitivity of the

fiber optic components installed in the device can be found in chapter 11.1 “Technical

data” under “ibaNet interface”.

Voltage supply X14

The ibaBM-ENetIP device has to be operated with an external DC voltage 24 V (unreg

ulated) with a maximum current consumption of 400 mA. The operating voltage should

be supplied using the 2-pin Phoenix screw connector included in delivery.

Pushbutton S10

With the S10 pushbutton, all settings can be reset to the factory settings:

1. Switch off the device.

2. Switch on the device with the pushbutton S10 keeping pushed.

3. Keep the pushbutton S10 pushed until the green LED “Run” of the operating status

display starts blinking rapidly. Now, release the pushbutton.

4. When the green LED “Run” stops blinking rapidly, the factory settings have been

applied. The device is immediately ready for operation and does not need to be

switched off and on again.

Rotary switch S2

With the 32Mbit Flex protocol, up to 15 devices can be connected in a ring topology. The

devices are addressed using the rotary switch S2.

TAP interface X42

With the TAP interface, the device can be operated in an Ethernet network without any

interferences. The whole data exchange can be recorded.

Communication via the TAP interface is maintained even if the power supply is inter

rupted.

Service interface X12

The Ethernet interface „X12 Service“ (RJ45) at the bottom of the device is designated

for service purposes.

The Ethernet interface is set to a static IP address 192.168.1.1 which cannot be changed.

The service interface is not used at the moment.

Monitor interface X13

The Ethernet interface „X13 Monitor“ (RJ45. 1Gbit/s, no autonegotiation) at the bottom

of the device is designated for connecting a network analysis tool like e.g. Wireshark1.

The communication via the TAP interface is mirrored and output on the X13 Monitor in

terface.

Shield connector X29

Connector (screw) for connecting the protective ground. Depending on the configuration

of the control cabinet, it might be necessary to connect the shields of the network cable

to the shield connector X29. Use a M6 terminal for connecting purposes.

If the shields of the network cables have been connected yet to the protective ground of

the control cabinet, also connect the shield connector X29 to the protective ground of the

control cabinet.
