This card is part of the ibaFOB-D card family and should be used for measuring purposes on mobile computers. It can also be used for connecting a notebook computer with iba field devices such as ibaPADU analog-digital converter units, ibaNet750 devices, ibaLink system connections and iba bus monitors.

Compared with the former ibaPCMCIA-F card, with its integrated FO adapter the ibaFOB-io-ExpressCard is suitable for higher data transmission rates of up to 32 Mbit/s, including 32 Mbit Flex, and exhibits a performance similar to the ibaFOB-io-D card. It can also be used under the current 64-bit Windows operating systems.

ibaPDA, version 6.24 or higher, is required for this card to be used.

The configuration dialogs of the ibaFOB-io-ExpressCard correspond to those of the ibaFOB-io-D card described above.

The card is available in two versions:

    • ibaFOB-io-ExpressCard-34 for ExpressCard slots 34 mm wide

    • ibaFOB-io-ExpressCard-54 for ExpressCard slots 54 mm wide

If you right-click on the board’s node in the interface tree in the I/O Manager then the context menu allows you to export the configuration file of the board. There must be a running measurement for an export. This function is only used for diagnostic purposes for our support.

You can insert the card into the ExpressCard slot of your notebook or remove it at any time. If the card is inserted and connected while the ibaPDA service is running, the automatic detection starts immediately.
