Each card can be extended with up to 2 add-on modules ibaFOB-4o-D. Two designs are available for the extension modules:

• Short, for ibaRackline (special housing slots)

• Long for standard PCI slots or PCIe slots 1.0-x1 compatible

The extension modules should be connected by a flat ribbon cable with the card. Depending on the intended function the module should be plugged into the appropriate connector.

• Mirroring the optical inputs

  The optical input channels are mirrored on the output channels, with almost no delay. Thus, other iba systems equipped with ibaFOB input boards can be supplied with the same measured data.

• Outputs of application software

  In this case the ibaFOB-4i-D board operates in duplex mode, i. e. signals can be received and transmitted independently. With ibaPDA you are able to use the alarm outputs, with ibaLogic you are able to use these output channels as output resources.
