10.2.1 Operation with ibaBM-COL-8i-o
The device ibaBM-COL-8i-o concentrates the data streams of up to 8 ibaNet fiber optic
inputs with 3/2Mbit into one (fiber optic) output with 32Mbit.
The number of ibaFOB input boards can be significantly reduced by replacement in this
way for existing systems with many ibaNet peripheral devices. The cleared PCI/PCIe
slots can be used for more iba input boards.
Furthermore, this technique provides access to the fast communication for elder devices.
