Inputs for Current and Voltage Signals
ibaPADU is a device family for measurement of analog and digital signals.
The analog inputs are available as current and voltage inputs with different measuring ranges. Each channel is galvanically isolated and equipped with its own A/D converter. The devices support different ibaNet protocols and hence, offer different properties.
Compact Measurement Modules at a Glance
- Sampling rate of 1 kHz with ibaPADU-8AI-U and ibaPADU- 8AI-I
- Sampling rate up to 40 kHz with ibaPADU-D-8AI-U and ibaPADU-D-8AI-I
- Sampling rate up to 100 kHz with ibaPADU-4-AI-U
- Simultaneous data acquisition due to one A/D converter per channel, 16 bit resolution
- Adjustable level and input characteristic
- Full electrical isolation per channel
- Integrated filters reduce interference
- Comfortable configuration of the devices and signals in ibaPDA (except ibaPADU-C-8AI)
- Self-supplied data logger ibaPADU-C-8AI is a special module for power supply independent and mobile data acquisition and recording (internal battery)

ibaPADU-C-8AI: Self-Supplied Data Logger
With an internal battery, ibaPADU-C-8AI is a special module for power supply independent and mobile data acquisition and recording.
Using the easy-to-handle, compact device analog and digital signals can be recorded just where they arise. ibaPADU-C-8AI is intended for off-line data recording of process data. With the internal lithium ion battery the device can be powered for about 24 h independent of the power grid.
Once ibaPADU-C-8AI is connected to the power grid, the internal battery will be charged automatically.
ibaPADU-C-8AI
- Self-supplied data logger with internal lithium ion battery
- 8 analog inputs, 16 bit resolution
- 8 digital inputs
- Synchronous data recording of all channels
- Sampling rate 1 sample/min. to 1000 samples/s
- External trigger
- Data storage (4 or 32 GB) for local recording of measuring files
- USB interface
- Battery run-time up to 24 h during normal operation
