Introduction
3.1
Description
The device ibaPADU-16-M (Parallel Analog Digital Units) is especially designed for
high speed data acquisition and control purposes for up to 25 kHz sampling rate per
channel. The ibaPADU-16-M consists of 2 fully independent modules called Module A
and Module B which operate similar to an ibaPADU-8-M device.
The device can be factory configured for a variety of measuring purposes from low vol-
tage to power line voltages and currents with the following components:
ibaPADU-16-M basic device, with Product Safety specification according to
EN 61010-1 (CAT II)
Analog sub modules (single channel modules with different input types),
up to 16 modules may be operated.
Binary input sub modules (8-channel modules for different input types),
up to two modules can be used
Up to 4 rugged HARTING connectors depending to the used analog input types and
the amount of channels.
The device is housed in a rugged 19” rack mount chassis. All connectors are located in
the rear. The front panel holds the status LEDs and mode switches.
3.2
Applications
The devices are ideally suited for the following applications:
Power Line Monitoring (Transient Fault Recorder)
Machine Condition Monitoring
Predictive Maintenance (i. e. Bearing Monitoring and Fault detection)
Commissioning
To guarantee a good dynamic range or SNR ration of the signals every A/D channel is
equipped with its own A/D converter and signal conditioning circuitry.
In M mode (see chapter 7.1 "M Mode"), the full device (Module A and B) uses 2 bi-
directional inputs/outputs from an ibaFOB-4i/4o card. The fiber optic port output defini-
tion is 100% compatible to ibaPADU-8-ICP and ibaPADU-8-M. .
In F mode (see chapter 7.2 “F Mode”) up to 4 ibaPADU-16-M devices are cascadable
on the fiber optic links.
