  • Data storage in the device
  • Data transfer over Ethernet
  • Extremely compact design for on-site installation
  • Extensive process and output connectivity
  • Automatic calculation of meaningful KPIs within the device
  • ibaPDA basic license for 64 signals included, upgrade possible

Product Highlights

Operation and configuration as on the PC

A monitor, mouse, and keyboard can be connected to ibaM-DAQ and can be operated as conveniently as an ibaPDA system running on a PC. Moreover, they can also be operated from an ibaPDA client connected via the network.

Data storage in the device

An internal SSD provides enough space for the measurement data. If required, the disk space can be expanded by connecting an external hard drive to the USB interface or via NAS.

Time synchronization

For global time synchronization, all time sources supported by ibaPDA (DCF77, PTP, ibaClock) as well as NTP can be used. The time is buffered by means of an internal battery.

Monitoring and alarm
A digital input and output are available on the processor module. The latter can be configured as an alarm output, for example. The input can be used to initiate a safe shutdown of the device, for example due to a monitored trigger signal.
Use of additional iba devices via fiber optics

The ibaM-FO-2IO interface module offers the functionality of the proven ibaFOB-io boards and supports the 32Mbit Flex and 32Mbit ibaNet protocols.

Licenses included

ibaM-DAQ is available with an ibaPDA basic license for up to 64 signals and two data stores. With the license ibaPDA-Interface-PLC-Xplorer, ibaM-DAQ has direct access to different PLC systems. The license ibaPDA-OPC-UAServer+ allows the ibaPDA system to be operated as an OPC UA server and to acquire all signals configured in ibaPDA via an OPC UA client interface. With the included ibaPDA-Data-Store-MQTT-16 license, signal data can be streamed to an MQTT broker.

Free analysis included

For the evaluation of the measurement data, the free analysis tool ibaAnalyzer can run directly on the ibaM-DAQ device or be used on a separate computer.

User-specific characteristics
Once the evaluation requirements have been defined, the analysis rule can be saved and reused at any time. Analyses can also be started and performed automatically.
Connect to a database with ibaAnalyzer-DB

If the data needs to be processed in a database, measurement data can be loaded into a database with ibaAnalyzer-DB.

Direct writing to databases/ clouds

Time-based data can also be written directly from ibaPDA to databases/clouds. For this purpose, special data stores subject to licensing are available.

Integration in SNMP monitoring

The ibaM-DAQ device can be integrated into a company-wide network management system via the SNMP interface (Simple Network Management Protocol) in ibaPDA.

ibaM-DAQ as edge device

Collect data on the edge device, process it autonomously and automatically

In the course of digitization, automation or operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) are increasingly converging. ibaM-DAQ can play an important role as an edge device.

The device acts as an interface between hardware-oriented acquisition in the OT sector and the processing and analysis function in the IT sector.

For superordinate systems, the data is also permanently available and traceable in the form of high-resolution raw data and/or aggregated characteristic values.

All software tools needed for these tasks are available with ibaPDA and ibaAnalyzer in the device.


Application examples

Data acquisition on mobile plants

  • Applications with Ethernet-based I/Os: Standard Ethernet protocols, ibaNet-E
  • Use of existing network infrastructure
  • Direct access to different control systems
  • Connection to the WAGO 750 I/O system via ibaW-750
  • Internal recording and KPI calculation
  • Applications in cranes, locomotives, special-purpose vehicles

Local acquisition of fast signals

  • Applications with Ethernet-based I/Os as above
  • Connection of existing iba devices by means of ibaM-FO-2IO via ibaNet FO with the 32Mbit and 32Mbit Flex protocols
  • Sampling rates of up to 100 kHz via FO, depending on the iba device
  • Applications on test benches, special-purpose machines, in the energy sector, etc.

Connection of classic iba bus monitors

  • Applications with Ethernet-based I/Os as above
  • Connection of existing iba bus monitors by means of ibaM-FO-2IO via ibaNet FO with the 32Mbit and 32Mbit Flex protocols
  • Applications for small to medium-sized plants with fieldbus structures
ibaM-DAQ is part of ibaMAQS

With the ibaMAQS modular system, iba has raised the bar in the field of measurement technology. This flexible system enables user-specific solutions and is both scalable and perfectly tuned for demanding tasks.
