1Introduction
The boards ibaFOB-io-PCI, ibaFOB-io-S, ibaFOB-4i-PCI, ibaFOB-4i-S, ibaFOB-4o and
ibaFOB-OF-Link are fiber optic communication cards which are used to connect a stan-
dard PC to the iba peripheral devices such as ibaPADUs, ibaNet750-BM devices and
ibaLink signal modules (SM).
As far as the following text does not refer to a particular card, the boards are referred to
as ibaFOB boards.
The unique peripheral I/O concept based on the ibaFOB boards, features characteristics
otherwise unknown on standardized field buses such as:
Full deterministic transmission profiles for all fiber optic buses and connected devices
(1ms).
Internal and/or external synchronization on the bus, even for more than one bus with
programmable cycle times between 1.0 and 9.9 ms in steps of 100 μs.
Deviation less than 2 μs between several busses (external synchronization)
The iba fiber optic transmission standard integrates not only A/D converters (ibaPADU)
but a huge variety of PLC interfaces and hence allows the realization of heterogene-
ous measuring and I/O topologies. The following devices can be connected:
ibaFOB x/4 (ISA)
ibaFOB x/4-F (ISA) with ibaFOB-OF-Link
ibaFOB 2/2 I/O (ISA)
ibaLink-SM-64-io (Siemens Simatic S5 115U, 135U 155U; MMC216 all types)
ibaLink-SM-128V-i-2o (VME32 & VME64 rack)
ibaNet750-BM (Wago IO system 750)
ibaBM-FOX-i-3o (FO-splitter and repeater)
ibaPADU-8, ibaPADU-8-ICP, ibaPADU-8-M, ibaPDAU-8-S, ibaPADU-16, ibaPADU-
32-T, ibaPADU-32-R and ibaPADU-8-O (A/D & D/A -converter)
ibaBM-SLM (Simolink Monitor for Siemens Motion Link Bus)
ibaBM-DDCSM (Monitor for ABB DDCS+ Drivebus)
Adjustable bus timing (ring topology in combination with ibaLogic only!)
Easy handling without the termination problems of copper based systems
The integration in hazardous areas is no problem in terms of EMI due to the fiber
optic communication concept.
One source can be accessed by multiple clients at the same time by just multiply-
ing the optical fibers (ibaFOx-3 and ibaFOB-OF-Link splitting devices) – so I/O pe-
ripherals may be used for process control and measuring at the same time. This
also makes redundant structures easy.
100% compatibility to its predecessors based on the ISA bus

The ibaFOB-4i-S or ibaFOB-io-S devices represent the new generation of iba's fiber optic
PC boards. These boards replace the ibaFOB x/4, ibaFOB x/4-F and ibaFOB 2/2 IO
boards which were based on the PC ISA bus definition. The new boards are 100% com-
patible on the fiber optical bus side while in the PC the interface and dual port ram layout
differ between the old and new boards.
The new cards features are:
Full Plug&Play functionality.
Enhanced throughput on the PC bus side.
Enhanced card diagnostics and card information (LEDs and 7-segment display).
Two modes of operation: F-mode and M-mode, to be selected for each FO-port in-
dividually
Optional synchronization modules for synchronizing multiple systems in conjunction
with ibaScope

3Safety Information
Please consider the following safety advises:
W A R N I N G!
To avoid electrical shock during installation or uninstallation of the device
disconnect the power supply from the computer before opening.
C A U T I O N !
This board contains components which can be destroyed by electrostatic discharge.
Prior to touching any electronics board, your body must be electrically discharged. This
can be simply done by touching a conductive, grounded object immediately beforehand
(e.g. bare metal cabinet components, socket protective conductor contact).

4Installation / Uninstallation
4.1 Preparation
The card fits in every compatible PCI slot.
C A U T I O N !
Use a ground line or discharge any electrostatic charge from yourself before touching
the card.
The standards for handling electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD) must be followed.
Note
Please follow carefully the advises below. Not to do so may void your warranty.
Remove and install cards only in a ESD designated workspace.
Remove all power connections from the PC before opening the PC and/or install-
ing/removing any device.
Never remove or (un-)solder chips or other parts of the device because this may
damage the device and void your warranty.
