Cascading ibaBM-DDCS devices
Up to 15 devices supporting the ibaNet protocol 32Mbit Flex can be connected to each
I/O link of an ibaFOB-D card in a fiber optic ring topology (e. g. ibaPADU-S-IT,
ibaBM-eCAT). The rotary switch S1 has to be set to a unique device number at each
device.
Keep in mind, that the total data rate in the fiber optic ring must be distributed among the
connected devices.
