Process Monitoring Topology Example
Figure 2 depicts a possible topology for process monitoring of mill chatter. In this con-
figuration, up to 4 ibaPADU-8-ICP can be simultaneously sampled at up to 25 kHz.
Each ibaFOB link can support a single ibaPADU-8-ICP. Maximum 32 (analog ICP
®
and
binary) channels can be sampled continuously using this topology. For continuous
process monitoring, multiplex operation of the device network is not required.
Figure 2. Star Topology
If an ibaPADU-8-ICP is connected
with a fiber optic link of an ibaFOB
card, no other PADU type can be
connected to the same link. But it
is allowed to use other devices on
the other links since the fiber optic
links on one card can work in dif-
ferent modes.
It is possible to couple other pro-
cess signals using other input de-
vices available from iba, in which
case the corresponding interface
must be available.
For example, ibaPADU-8 devices
can be used to monitor the pro-
cess state and indicate that high-
speed, ibaPADU-8-ICP monitoring
is required.
