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-M can be simultaneously sampled at up to 25 kHz. Each
ibaFOB link can support a single ibaPADU-8-M. Maximum 32 (analog and binary)
channels can be sampled continuously using this topology. For continuous process
monitoring, multiplex operation of the device network is not required.
If an ibaPADU-8-M is connected
with a fiber optic link of an iba-
FOB card, no other ibaPADU
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.
It is possible to couple other
process signals using other input
devices available from iba, in
which case the corresponding in-
terface must be available.
For example, ibaPADU-8 devices
can be used to monitor the proc-
ess state and indicate that high-
speed, ibaPADU-8-M monitoring
is required.
