Description

The ibaFOB-H PC card is used for the connection from Hitachi Energy MACH3 HVDC systems to the ibaPDA data acquisition system. The card fits in a 1.0-x1-compatible PCI Express slot.

The connection supports a data transmission rate of 1 Gbit/s. Up to 400 analog or digital signals can be transmitted.

Updating the firmware can be done by ibaPDA without disassembling the card.

Interface configuration

As with the other ibaFOB cards, you should first select the card node in the interface tree in the I/O Manager.

You can set the interrupt mode in the Configuration tab, if needed.

The interrupt mode is automatically determined by ibaPDA: "Slave mode” is set as soon as other iba cards are inserted. Only in the event that no other card types are inserted besides several ibaFOB-H cards you can determine which of the cards has the "Internal interrupt master" mode and thus generates the interrupt for the other cards. The interrupt is transmitted via the synchronization line to the other iba-PCIe cards (interrupt slaves) (with the supplied flat ribbon cables).

Check "In use" if the card should be used by ibaPDA.
Test connection

Select the "Link" node of the card in the interface tree.

The connection to the Hitachi Energy MACH3 HVDC system is established by clicking on the <Test connection> button in the Connection tab.
