Below you will find examples of the connection to the ibaN-2E card. The data path is set in ibaPDA for the respective ibaNet-E device. ibaNet-E-capable devices from iba provide an ibaNet interface, such as ibaM-COM, etc.
Measurement data acquisition with ibaNet-E in a dedicated High Performance network
If an ibaN-2E card is used in the ibaPDA computer, it is possible to synchronously sample the data with up to 1 μs. To do this, the ibaPDA computer and ibaM-COM must be connected directly via a dedicated ibaNet-E network.

Other network components such as switches, media converters, routers, etc., or other network technologies such as WLAN/WiFi, VPN, etc., as well as the use of ibaPDA in a virtualized environment, are not permitted here.
Measurement data acquisition with ibaNet-E in a standard network
Transmission is carried out via an existing network (standard Ethernet). Switches can be integrated into the Ethernet network.

Notes on the network
In an “indeterminate ibaNet-E network,” depending on the scope of the topology or the network technologies used, it may no longer be possible to readily determine the synchronization accuracy. At best, in an “indeterminate ibaNet-E network,” the connection quality to the participant must be tested and evaluated using the function integrated into the ibaPDA, and, as a result, the ibaPDA’s reception buffer may need to be enlarged. It must also be taken into account here that measurement values from different participants may no longer be recorded with synchronous accuracy..
Although it is possible to use ibaPDA in a virtualized environment, this should be approached with caution.
Measurement data acquisition of ibaNet-E OEM devices via connectionless connection
An ibaN-2E card is used in the ibaPDA computer, which communicates with the connected devices via standard Ethernet components, e.g. a switch or OEM devices. The connectionless communication profile is used for this.
