Description
The OMICRON IOB1 Input/Output Module expands the testing capabilities of the CIBANO 500 Circuit Breaker Analyser by providing six additional input and six additional output channels. Designed for advanced circuit breaker timing measurements, the IOB1 allows technicians to simultaneously monitor more auxiliary contacts and control multiple trip and close coils or breaker motors.
Connected to the CIBANO 500 via EtherCAT® communication, the IOB1 synchronously captures auxiliary contact data and transfers it to the main testing unit in real time. Its six output channels provide synchronised control of circuit breaker trip and close coils or motors, supporting more complex testing sequences without the need for repeated rewiring.
The IOB1 is particularly useful when testing larger circuit breakers or installations requiring multiple coil operations and different operating voltages. It also enables advanced timing analysis, including close-open (CO) sequences with overlapping trip and close coil operation.
Ideal for substation maintenance, commissioning and circuit breaker diagnostics, the OMICRON IOB1 provides additional flexibility for comprehensive circuit breaker testing.

Key Features
- Six additional input channels: Simultaneously monitor up to six auxiliary contacts and transfer data to the CIBANO 500.
- Six additional output channels: Control and analyse circuit breaker trip coils, close coils and motors.
- Real-time data transfer: Uses EtherCAT® communication for synchronised data acquisition and control.
- Advanced timing analysis: Supports complex close-open (CO) sequences with overlapping trip and close coil operation.
- No rewiring required: Allows multiple coils and different operating voltages to be tested without repeatedly changing the test setup.
- Expandable configuration: Supports connection of up to three IOB1 modules to a CIBANO 500, subject to system requirements.
Benefits
- Expanded testing capacity: Provides additional input and output channels for testing larger and more complex circuit breakers.
- Improved testing efficiency: Reduces the need for rewiring when testing multiple coils or auxiliary contacts.
- Accurate synchronised measurements: Captures auxiliary contact data in real time for detailed timing analysis.
- Greater testing flexibility: Allows multiple trip and close coils or breaker motors to be controlled simultaneously.
- Advanced diagnostics: Supports more complex operating sequences to help assess circuit breaker performance.
- Simplified integration: Connects directly to the CIBANO 500 through EtherCAT® communication.
