ibaDAQ can be used as a stand-alone device to acquire and record data. For this purpose, ibaDAQ has an integrated, complete ibaPDA system and an internal SSD (solid state disk) with sufficient storage space.

The range of applications includes:

  • Mobile measurement acquisition

  • Start-up

  • Troubleshooting

  • Test stands

  • Calculation of process parameters

Modular concept

The central unit is the heart of the iba modular system. It can be complemented by up to 4 I/O modules. ibaDAQ is the smart central unit in the iba modular system that enables data acquisition with ibaPDA functionality independent of an external computer. All channels are sampled synchronously with a rate of up to 40 kHz.
Configuration

Equipped with connections for a monitor, mouse and keyboard, ibaDAQ is as convenient to operate as an ibaPDA system running on a computer. Moreover, it can be operated with an ibaPDA client connected via the network.

The ibaPDA version in ibaDAQ provides the full functional scope of ibaPDA and a license for 64 signals in the standard version.
Monitoring and alarm

2 digital inputs and 2 digital outputs are available and can be configured for special functions. One output can serve as an alarm output if the watchdog function is activated in ibaPDA. In addition, the device can be shut down and powered off safely if a trigger signal signals the interruption of the power supply at a digital input.
Connection via ibaNet

The FO input and output provides the function of an ibaFOB-io card supporting the ibaNet protocols 32Mbit Flex, 32Mbit, 5Mbit, 3Mbit, and 2Mbit. It allows additional iba devices to be connected such as the ibaPADU family, iba bus monitors, or system interface connections.
Connection to several networks

With the two independent 1Gbit/s Ethernet interfaces, ibaDAQ can operate in two networks and thus enable the separation of IT and process networks. This separation allows, for example, databases and storage systems to be connected to ibaDAQ, which are located in the IT network.
