By using the data distributor ibaBM-DIS-i-8o in combination with the data concentrator ibaBM-COL-8i-o you can distribute e. g. the output signals of an ibaLogic system from one FO output link to several lines of devices, such as ibaNet750, and collect and merge the signals coming from these devices to be used as input signals for the ibaLogic system.

The number of ibaFOB input cards can be significantly reduced by replacement in this way for existing systems with many ibaNet peripheral devices. The cleared PCI/PCIe slots can be used for more iba input cards. This means that older devices can also be connected to the ibaNet technology with 32Mbit.
