IBA Field and Drive Buses

Field and Drive Buses

iba Bus Monitors for Field and Drive Buses

An essential feature of the iba system is the distinct connectivity to other automation systems and bus technologies. The iba bus monitors make it possible to connect to different field bus and drive technologies.

iba Bus Monitors

We get along with almost anybody

The iba system offers various ways to access the signals of control systems. In automated manufacturing, the components involved communicate frequently over field and drive buses. 

To date, different field and drive bus standards have been established in the industry. 

By using the iba bus monitors, an iba data acquisition system can be connected to standard bus technologies and acquire data from the buses and the connected hardware
