Cascade with 3Mbit mode
Up to eight cascadable devices may be cascaded in a single daisy-chain of fiber-optic
devices (Channel 1 only). Cascadable devices are: ibaLink-VME, ibaLink-SM128V,
ibaPADU-8/-16/-32 and ibaNet750, but not ibaLink-SM-64, because its cascading con-
cept is different.
The total of 64 a/d signals to be transmitted over one fiber-optic link is subdivided into
eight slots of eight a/d signals each. The slots are divided between several participants
in a cascade.
In this mode, each ibaLink-VME participating in the chain is forwarding the 8 incoming
data slots on its fiber optic input towards its fiber optic output, only replacing one or more
successive slots (S2 Range switch) by the data provided in the VME transmit buffer. The
first slot to be replaced is configured using the S3 Address switch.
Independent from the S2/S3 switches, the data of the 8 incoming slots is always available
in the VME receive buffer.
The setting of S1 switch is 0 (zero) or 1 in cascade mode.
Example 1: System Topology for Daisy-Chain of 8 ibaLink-VME with equal ranges
Figure 24 Cascade mode with 8 x ibaLink-VME
Eight ibaLink-VME interface cards are daisy-chained with each card transmitting 8 sig-
nals for the resulting daisy-chain telegram. The address switch position determines the
slot to be occupied. After the last ibaLink-VME card all slots are filled with data. The FO
input of the ibaFOB card receives 8 x 8 = 64 signals.
The second link of the card (Channel 2) may be used for independent transmission of up
to 64 a/d signals.
