2 Introduction
The ibaMBox mobile measuring system is based on the iba modular system, which is
integrated in a compact and sturdy aluminum case. The same modules are used in
ibaMBox as are in the iba modular system; the backplane has been newly designed for
ibaMBox. In ibaMBox, a central unit can be combined with up to 4 I/O modules; the
central units and I/O modules available for ibaMBox are listed in the table below. The
communication and power supply of the modules is provided via a backplane bus built
into the case. ibaMBox is supplied pre-configured.
Central units
I/O modules
- ibaPADU-S-CM

- ibaPQU-S

-ibaCMU-S
(for condition monitoring applications)
-ibaDAQ-S
(for stand-alone data acquisition)

Data acquisition
With the central units, ibaPADU-S-CM or ibaPQU-S, ibaPDA is required as an external
data acquisition system, which runs, for example, on a notebook. The notebook is con-
nected to the central unit via an ibaFOB-io-ExpressCard and a bidirectional fiber optic
connection.

With the ibaCMU-S central unit, the ibaCMC condition monitoring center is required for
configuration and visualization.The measurementwith ibaCMU-S can run autonomously
without ibaCMC.
Figure 2: Stand-alone data acquisition with ibaCMU-S, configuration with ibaCMC
The ibaDAQ-S central unit is equipped with an integrated ibaPDA system and can cap-
ture and record data as astand-alone device. For configuration and operation, a monitor,
keyboard and mouse are required, or the configuration can be done via an ibaPDAclient
that has access to the device over the network.

client
Other documentation
The handling and configuration of central units, I/O modules and ibaCMC are described
in the relevant device manuals. You can find the device manuals on the iba Software &
Manuals DVD supplied.

2.1 Connections
All connections and interfaces of the built-in modules are clearly connected and labeled
on a connector panel. The connections are designed as BNC, banana or Phoenix con-
nectors depending on the I/O module. The different module types are marked using the
same color code as in the classic iba modular system. The assignment of connections
to the individual modules can therefore be seen clearly.
