Online Machine Condition Monitoring Topology
Figure 3 depicts a possible topology for online machine condition monitoring. In this
configuration, up to 4x96 ibaPADU-8-ICP can be sampled in a multiplex fashion to pro-
vide up to 3136 online channels per monitoring station. Each ibaFOB link can support
up to 96 ibaPADU-8-ICP, measuring one at a time.
Figure 3 System Topology for Online Machine Condition
Monitoring
Even in the branch with multi-
plexed ibaPADU-8-ICP devices
only one device can be used at a
time.
The selection of the devices
which signals shall be captured
can be automatically done in iba-
Logic or manually in ibaScope or
ibaPDA.
If an ibaPADU-8-ICP is con-
nected 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 different modes.
For example, ibaPADU-8 devices
can be used to monitor additional
process variables.
Note
The use of the ibaBM-FOX-i-3o splitter in conjunction with ibaPADU-8-ICP is not sup-
ported.
Due to the bidirectional data transfer between ibaPADU-8-ICP and ibaFOB-card it is
not possible to split the signals.
If a multiplication of signals is required, please contact iba.
