The interfaces of the ibaFOB cards are only visible in the I/O Manager of ibaPDA if one or more cards are installed in the computer. iba devices with an ibaNet connection (FO) can only be connected to ibaPDA via an ibaFOB card.
ibaNet-E is an Ethernet-based interface with a special protocol supported by compatible devices (e.g., ibaW-750).

ibaNet-E |
Ethernet-based (NIC) |
ibaW-750 |
The protocol can also be implemented on third-party devices (OEM) |
The devices themselves are configured as modules. Depending on the type of device, the measurement signals are configured in the directly connected device module or in other, subordinate device modules (e.g., ibaPADU-S modular system, ibaNet750) or software modules (e.g., bus modules such as ibaBM-DP).
You can see which devices or modules you can use on an interface in the I/O Manager if you click on "Click to add module" under the interface. ibaPDA always shows you the possible combinations. The figure below shows an example for selecting possible devices on a free link of an ibaFOB-io-ExpressCard.
The figure below shows an example for ibaW-750 on ibaNet-E.
