For a number of devices, it is possible to transmit signals from ibaPDA to a device via the FOB output channel. These output signals are mainly intended to signal events or to trigger alarms or warnings. Analog values can also be output. The configuration is carried out in ibaPDA in the I/O Manager.
On the device side, you need a device that is suitable for processing output signals, e. g. ibaNet750-BM with WAGO output terminals or an ibaPADU-S-CM device with one or more output modules.
An ibaFOB board with FO-output links is required on the computer side. The outputs are either the integrated outputs on the card (io and 2io) or the outputs when an extension module ibaFOB-4o (-PCI/-Rackline slot) is connected as an output card.
Below you find a list of the interface cards that can be used for digital and analog output and their corresponding output modules.

Which output modules you can use depends not only on the devices used but also on the communication mode used at the FO link.
In 3Mbit mode only the output modules "FOB alarm" and "ibaNet750-BM" (with corresponding output terminals) can be used.
Most current devices, such as ibaPADU-S-CM or ibaBM-DP, only support the output function in 32Mbit Flex mode. In 32Mbit mode no output modules are available.
