Introduction
ibaDAQ-C can be used as stand-alone unit to acquire and record data. ibaDAQ-C inte-
grates a complete ibaPDA system, an internal solid state disk (SSD) with sufficient
memory space and powerful integrated Intel®-Atom™-CPU. The extremely slim and ro-
bust compact unit is designed to fit into the extremely confined space of control cabinets,
test stands, cranes, etc.
The range of applications includes:
Mobile measurement acquisition
Start-up
Troubleshooting
Test stands
Calculation of process parameters
Data acquisition via Ethernet
ibaDAQ-C provides 2 independent Ethernet interfaces with standard 1 Gbit connection.
This allows ibaDAQ-C to capture and record Ethernet-based protocols. The license for
the communication interface ibaPDA-Interface-MQTT, for the MQTT messaging protocol,
as well as the ibaPDA-Interface-PLC-Xplorer license are part of the delivery. For other
protocols and modules, separate licenses are required for the respective communication
interfaces. Using the interfaces of ibaPDA-PLC-Xplorer, it is possible to aquire and rec-
ord data from different PLC systems:
S7-Xplorer (interface to SIMATIC S7 systems)
AB-Xplorer (interface to Allen-Bradley systems)
B&R-Xplorer (interface to B&R systems)
Bachmann-Xplorer (interface to M1 systems)
Codesys-Xplorer (interface to CODESYS based systems)
Logix-Xplorer (interface to ControlLogix systems)
MELSEC-Xplorer (interface to Mitsubishi MELSEC systems)
Sigmatek-Xplorer (interface to SIGMATEK systems)
TwinCAT-Xplorer (interface to Beckhoff systems)
Integrated cloud connectivity
With the included license ibaPDA-Data-Store-MindSphere-16, data can be written di-
rectly into the MindSphere cloud and processed there.
The license ibaPDA-Data-Store-MQTT-16 enables data streaming of 16 signals via the
MQTT messaging protocol and is also included in the scope of delivery.
Configuration
Equipped with connections for a monitor, mouse, and keyboard, ibaDAQ-C is as conven-
ient to operate as an ibaPDA system running on a computer. Moreover, it can be oper-
ated with an ibaPDA client connected via the network.
The ibaPDA version in ibaDAQ-C provides the full functional scope of ibaPDA and a
license for 64 signals in the standard version. The number of signals can be increased
to 1024 with a license extension.
