Introduction
ibaDAQ can be used as stand-alone unit to acquire and record data. ibaDAQ integrates
a complete ibaPDA system and an internal solid state disk (SSD) with sufficient memory
space.
The range of applications includes:
Mobile measurement acquisition
Commissioning
Troubleshooting
Test stands
Calculation of process parameters
Modular concept
The central unit is the heart of the iba modular system. It can be complemented by up to
4 I/O modules. ibaDAQ is the new smart central unit in the iba modular system that en-
ables data acquisition with ibaPDA functionality independent of an external computer. All
channels are sampled synchronously with a rate of up to 40 kHz.
Configuration
Equipped with connections for a monitor, mouse and keyboard, ibaDAQ is as convenient
to operate as an ibaPDA system running on a computer. Moreover, it can be operated
with an ibaPDA client connected via the network.
The ibaPDA version in ibaDAQ provides the full functional scope of ibaPDA and a license
for 64 signals in the standard version.
Monitoring and alarm
2 digital inputs and 2 digital outputs are available and can be configured for special func-
tions. One output can serve as an alarm output if the watchdog function is activated in
ibaPDA. In addition, the device can be shut down and powered off safely if a trigger
signal signals the interruption of the power supply at a digital input.
Connection via ibaNet
The FO input and output provides the function of an ibaFOB-io card supporting the
ibaNet protocols 32Mbit Flex, 32Mbit, 5Mbit, 3Mbit, and 2Mbit. It allows additional iba
devices to be connected such as the ibaPADU family, iba bus monitors, or system inter-
face connections.
Connection to several networks
With the two independent 1Gbit/s Ethernet interfaces, ibaDAQ can operate in two net-
works and thus enable the separation of IT and process networks. This separation al-
lows, for example, databases and storage systems to be connected to ibaDAQ, which
are located in the IT network.
