iba AG is expanding its product portfolio with the new "ibaFOB-R" network card. This PCIe plug-in card allows control systems based on Reflective Memory to be seamlessly integrated into the iba system. Reflective Memory enables real-time synchronization and data exchange between multiple systems, and is particularly used in complex, distributed control systems and simulations within industrial environments. Combined with ibaPDA (from version 8.8), the ibaFOB-R card facilitates data acquisition in these settings and simplifies deterministic and reliable real-time data communication. To capture data in ibaPDA through Reflective Memory, only the ibaPDA-Interface-Reflective-Memory license needs to be activated.
This makes ibaFOB-R flexible for integration into both existing and new systems, thereby extending the process connectivity of the iba system.
