7 Description of the device
7.1 Properties

Bus monitor for the ABB DDCS bus

Automatic detection of the system configuration


Additional connection options for computers with DriveWindow

Rugged design, mounting rail installation

Connection of up to 15 devices in a fiber optics ring with 32Mbit Flex protocol
7.2 Functions
The device logs DDCS bus signals which are used in ABB drives.
The device offers connections for 3 fiber optic cable pairs in order to realize the following
functions:

Logging of the signals, which are exchanged between controller and drive (data set
channel).

Active querying of additional measurements and parameters from the drives
(parameter channel).

Loopthrough of configuration and measurement queries of an external computer
with DriveWindow.
7.3 Configuration
The values to be measured are selected via a configuration dialog in the ibaPDA software
which is installed on the computer.
The device automatically detects the connected drives with the associated signals. The
signals to be recorded can be selected in the I/O Manager of the ibaPDA software.
7.4 Computer side
On the computer side, the iba modules ibaFOB-io-D, ibaFOB-2io-D or ibaFOB-4i-D with
the ibaFOB-4o-D supplementary modules are used.
Parallel to this, discrete signals can be coupled via other fiber optic connections, e.g.
using ibaPADU or ibaNet750-BM. The option of coupling in signals from other systems
using system connections and bus monitors is also available.
The ibaFOB-io-ExpressCard is used to couple notebooks.
