A complete solution
with iba-Software
The Project
At the heart of the most modern flammability test laboratory in Europe is a fire test furnace in which can be
tested even gigantic tunnel dampers that are used for
the extraction of smoke in subterranean traffic (tunnels).
A fire test furnace simulates a fire through standardized
temperature curves. This way, you can observe and measure elements such as temperature, deflection, etc., thus
simulating the behavior of components while they are
exposed to fire.
The requirement was a data capture system which was
easy to use while carrying out flexible test experiments.
All test data, experiment results and reports should be
stored in a centralized well organized way.
ibaAnalyzer
The Technology
Control and automation of the test furnace is done with
ibaLogic. The experiments are run fully automatic. Results of the fire test such as pressure gradients, temperature gradients and object temperature are captured
and evaluated with ibaPDA as cyclic values. Two cameras
deliver real time images to the control room. The captured videos are stored synchronously with the recorded
data from the experiment. Inspection and evaluation of
the data and video sequences, including automatic report
generation, is done with the complementary ibaAnalyzer.
iba Products
ibaLogic combines the characteristics of a comfortable
signal manager with a powerful Soft-PLC. ibaLogic offers
an extensive function library as well as high transparence
with production and servicing of the application software.

ibaLogic as a Co-Processor
The Project
As a part of a preliminary study, the optimization potential
of a rolling stand (slab deposit and reversing process) was
analyzed with ibaPADU.
The goal was to increase the material flow-rate by minimizing dead time and slab idle time.
Standards for the optimization phase were the error free
process optimization during ongoing operations and the
documentation of old and new conditions.
ibaLink-SM-64-io
The Technology
Because the old system did not allow optimization during
operations (online), ibaLogic-System was deployed as a
Co-Processor. The communication with the old system
was accomplished with ibaLink-SM-64-io cards. All relevant data was collected, a new logic circuit was built and
introduced and thus, the stand subassemblies could be
controlled. The possibility to perform online programming
with ibaLogic, without time consuming compilations and
reloading, allowed rapid progress with the optimization.
Through the comparison of old and new values (ibaLogic dat-files), with the complimentary ibaAnalyzer, the
outcome of the optimization was quickly apparent. The
productivity rose by 30 to 60 percent.

two-high roll stand [Hoesch Schwerter Profile]
These features make ibaLogic-V4 a great solution for modernizing existing heterogenous automation structures.
With iba connectivity, different generations of automation
worlds and systems of different manufacturers can be
interconnected and combined. Bidirectional data exchange enables the communication between controls that
normally would be incompatible.
ibaNET750
The Technology
At the core of the new automation configuration are
control PCs (industrial computers) with ibaLogic-V4.
These PCs control the whole plant and are connected to
the input and output peripherals (WAGO System 750) by
iba interface modules and fiber optic cables (FO). Several
PROFIBUS master systems connect the drives to the
Logic computers. All important measured values are
captured by ibaPDA and stored as data files. The data can
be analyzed on any computer in the plant with ibaAnalyzer
(free of charge). The computer work stations are linked
via Ethernet. The plant has three building lots and one
repair lot, where the rolling stands for the requested special profile can be pre-assembled and calibrated. On large
platforms, the rolling stands roll directly to the rolling line
for mounting. Changing the rolling line for a new product
only takes 20 minutes.
iba Products
ibaLogic is a system for signal processing and automation. With ibaNet fibre optic cables, bus couplers and

The Technology
The main feature of this concept is the fact that the energy
needed for gernerating cold is given by the sun. There has
been a large reference project so far based on a similar
technogy - air-conditioning of the Berlin Federal Press
Office. iba AG wanted to show that air-conditioning only
based on solar energy can be done in a cost-efficient way
also for small and medium-sized builings. Flat collectors mounted on the roof of builings heat a solar liquid,
flowing in a closed circuit. This liquid transfers its energy
via a heat exchanger to a water circuit. The heated water
is lead to a 1000 gal buffer tank from where it can be used
for cooling and water heating.

ibaLogic combines the features of signal management
with those of a high-performing PLC - or as we call it
today - a Programmable Automation Controller PAC.

ibaPDA-S7-Analyzer
troubleshooting at a minesite
Advantages at a glance
Quick and easy ad-hoc setup for any S7 PLC related
troubleshooting and optimisation tasks incl. symbol
based selection of variables from the S7 program.
Ethernet based high speed acquisition, capturing,
trend display and analysis of analogue and digital
signals.
ibaPDA-S7-Analyzer
In this particular instance, the ROI (Return On Investment) was measured in minutes. It is estimated that
the usage of ibaPDA-S7-Analyzer saved many hours
of unscheduled downtime and associated production
loss.
The Challenge
After a scheduled maintenance shutdown in an ore processing plant, the start-up of a particular sequence came
to a grinding halt whenever a certain step in the sequence
was reached. The plant operators could not determine the
root cause of the problem, as their SCADA system was
flooded with seemingly unrelated alarm messages when
this sequence stop occurred.
A quick initial online monitoring of the S7 PLC logic by
the site engineer also yielded no meaningful clue to the
source of the problem.
ibaAnalyzer
cause was obvious and fixed a short time afterwards.
As it turns the digital output in question activated a
solenoid valve which had been immersed in water during
maintenance work. This now created a partial short circuit which drained the 24V supply.
All up, the identification of this rather simple problem
was made possible by the power of ibaPDA-S7-Analyzers
capability for high speed ethernet based data acquisition,
trending and analysis capability.
The Solution
As an iba user, the site engineer quickly realised that it
was time to get serious and to start up their ibaPDA-S7Analyzer. Thanks to symbol based S7 program integration, setup of the digital inputs and outputs that required
monitoring was a cinch.
The ethernet based acquisition times was then set to
10ms to get a high resolution capture of the seemingly
fleeting event. A short few minutes later, the plant operators were asked to attempt another sequence start.
As soon as the sequence crash occurred, the engineer
took one look at the live data on his ibaPDA trend screen
and immediately realised the root cause of the problem.
The trend clearly showed that all previously active 24V
digital inputs dropped to zero a mere 150ms after the
sequence program gave the command to activate a particular digital output.
This loss of all the 24V digital inputs led to the alarm
flooding on the SCADA system as well as the PLC program immediately aborting the sequence. Since this sequence stops also led to a deactivation of any associated
digital outputs (including the one that drained the 24V
supply), all inputs became healthy again some 50ms later.
As all of this happened in the blink of eye, it was impossible to observe it via traditional SCADA or S7 PLC online
monitoring means.
Based on the ibaPDA captured data though, the root

The technology
When partially automating major equipment, a wide variety of sensors is used. The raw data are prepared using
complex filter algorithms and provided to subsequent processes. A SIMATIC S7 control with the FM458 application
module assumes the control functions. The data recording
and the analysis of the process values from the automation devices provide the basis for optimizing the control
and the subsequent quality assurance.
As support for the commissioning of new drive technology
(e.g. for the 12x180kW DC-motors of the excavator chassis), the time-critical measured values of the control are
directly measured on the FM458 PROFIBUS interface.

a Reclaimer Reeler control scheme. The Reelers on this
machine had been historically problematic, causing
production delays and damage to the drive system clutches.
The data analysis allowed the engineering team to clearly
identify flaws in the existing control scheme. This allowed
control improvements to be developed offline, designed to
specifically target the issues identified in the data analysis.
The new control program was installed and the iba

new control improvements. It has resulted in a significant
improvement in machine reliablity and productivity. The
iba system has proved itself to be an invaluable tool for
both engineers and operators to monitor and maintain

The Project
Components in hot rolling mills, where there is the
potential for a malfunction, were to be better monitored

process events that are synchronized with corresponding
process data. This allowed a faster process analysis and a
reduction in cost through the removal of malfunctions in

ibaCapture-CAM is a complete system, consisting of
hardware and software components, for the synchronized recording of visual information and measured data
in cooperation with ibaPDA-V6. The intention is to focus
the video recording on process events of special interest
rather than using the system for general surveillance like
many other video systems. The precise linking of recorded
ibaAnalyzer
The Technology
Visual data from cameras is recorded by the ibaCaptureCAM video server and saved in a compressed form to
the hard drive. With continuous imaging, the fixed drive
storage is cyclically overwritten in a ring buffer. The so
called video trigger is configured to start and stop
imaging in specific procedure and sequence events. At
the same time, the storage domains are protected so that
the event triggered video recordings in the hard drive are
not overwritten by continuous imaging. Thus, important
process events are preserved for a long period of time and
available for later analysis.
The supervision of the continuous as well as the event
triggered imaging is taken over by ibaPDA-V6 which is in
constant contact with the ibaCapture-CAM video server
over the network.
The study and evaluation of measurement data and video
sequences takes place in the ibaAnalyzer with the help of
the data files. The video recordings of every camera module can be shown in a dockable window next to the usual
measurement signal curves. The marker position in the
measurement curve and the video image are accurately
synchronized.

be installed in direct sensor vicinity. This reduces the influence of electromagnetic interference to a great extent.
The cards of the ibaFOB family are communication boards
for ibaNet fiber optic cable connections. The ibaFOB-4i-S
board is used to connect a computer running iba software
applications and peripheral devices such as ibaPADU
ibaBM-DPM-S
ibaFOB-4i-D
The Technology
A broad range of interfaces guarantee the connection to
the automation systems from different vendors:
The data from SIMATIC-S7 is read with the ProfibusSniffer ibaBM-DPM-S and the process data from the
roughing and finishing trains are read in with ibaPADUs.
As an interface to the SIMADYN automation systems,
ibaLink-SM-64-SD16 is used. (Cards of this type can be
directly plugged into a Simadyn D rack and behave like
a standard Simadyn D card.) The data is transferred via
fiber optic cable to a data acquisition computer containing
input cards from the ibaFOB card family along with the
acquisition software, ibaPDA-V6. All data is stored in data
files and evaluated with the complimentary ibaAnalyzer.
The ibaAnalyzer-DB-Extractor compresses the DAT-Files
into a database. The result is a central product data information system which covers plant wide networking, from
single machines to cross-plant operations.

Quality data recording
The Technology
With strip processing lines, all quality relevant parameters, which are measured at various points in the
facility, are recorded and assigned to the corresponding
one-meter segment of the finished product. The length
and product related data can then be analyzed with the
complimentary ibaAnalyzer.
With the ibaDat-Coordinator, it is possible to control
further automatic data processing. For example, it can
initiate database extraction with the ibaDat-Extractor or
create reports with the help of the report generator. Naturally, everything is fully automatic.

ibaPDA-V6 is a PC-based system to centrally record process data. The recording can be made referring to either
the time/length or the batch/product. The data is filed as
so-called DAT-files and can be analyzed, processed and
archived with the ibaAnalyzer free of charge. An efficient
report generator allows for the creation of customized
analytical reports.

ibaPADU-8
The Technology
For cyclic flexural and load tests, an oscillating force is
put on the tie by means of a hydraulic cylinder. The force
and position is measured continuously with ibaPADU-8
devices. The devices are connected to an ibaFOB card
which is installed in a PC by means of an optical fiber
cable. The ibaPDA software can collect and process the
data in its own measurement cycle.
Per 1000 test cycles, an average value is generated from
10 measurement cycles. The force and position values
are clearly represented in a coordinate system. Also
statistical information, such as the maximum, minimum,
average value and standard deviation as well as the rate
of change of the flexural force are available by one mouse
click. The values are always calculated for a part of the
curve quickly and freely adjustable with the cursor. The

The Technology
In order to fulfill the project requirements, an integrated control concept compatible with the bench test was
realized with ibaPDA-V6, ibaQPanel and ibaAnalyzer. As
to the optimization, several test cycles are to be run with
varying parameters. If, after some testing, the optimal
behaviour of the system is found this state is documented
in a report which is also used as acceptance protocol. The
data files from the earlier failed attempts can then be
deleted.
The measurement data is captured with a decentralized
measurement unit from the modular family ibaPADU-S
which among other things is equipped with input modules
for high voltages and currents. With the help from the
software ibaQPanel, which is a visualization add-on to
ibaPDA, a user friendly graphic interface and data display
were realized. The electrical values were computed with a
special online function in ibaPDA.

Gradually modernizing
automation systems
Advantages at a glance
Cost savings by revamping during production without
a line stand-still.
Existing software can be transferred, while functionality and response of the plant or line remain the
same.
Switching without faults by comparing old and new
values.
ibaLogic-V4
ibaPADU-8
Modernization - now more than ever!
The Technology
As iba designs all system controls to operate bidirectionally, we can not just read values out of an automation
system but also write values in an active way. This is
the main feature used for soft-revamping. The data of
the old system are analyzed by one or more iba system
modules. Meanwhile, the new system gradually takes
more and more of the tasks until the old system is
superfluous.
In older systems, the decentral peripherals can not
be integrated by a field bus. Instead, they use central
input and output groups integrated into the automation
system. Often, these groups when they have been used
for a certain time, cause problems as they show more
and more failures. In this case, we offer a solution: we
establish a direct connection between the iba system
groups integrated in the old system and ibaPADUs or
ibaNet750-heads with intelligent WAGO/Beckhoff cage
clamps.
ibaLogic is a system for signal processing and automation that allows connecting ibaNet fibre optic cables,
bus couplers and other interface connections. Moreover,
linking can be done via field bus, Ethernet and special
protocols. These features make that ibaLogic-V4 is a
great solution for modernizing existing heterogenous
automation structures. With iba connectivity, different generations of automation worlds and systems
of different manufacturers can be interconnected and
combined. Bidirectional data exchange enables the
communication between controls that normally would be
incompatible.
ibaPADU (Parallel Analog Digital Unit) is a device family
for measuring analog and digital signals of any process.
ibaLink-SM-64 and -128V are interface cards:
The ibaLink-SM-64-io module is an interface card adapted to the SIMATIC S5 and Simicro MMC 216 systems.
With this interface card, measuring data are transferred
from a Simatic S5 or Simicro MMC 216-system to
ibaPDA or ibaLogic. The card can also be used for realizing a so-called frame-linking. On its front side, the card
has a pair of FO sender and receiver.
The ibaLink-SM-128V card connects VME bus systems
to iba measuring systems and ibaLogic. It offers two FOcable sending links to 64 analog and 64 binary channels.
With a surplus receiving link with 64+64 channels, the
card offers communication functions. Moreover, VME
systems can be expanded by adding iba peripherals. All
signals in the FO-cable bus have an update rate of 1ms.
The card can be used without initialization. Data (signals)
are directly written into the dualport RAM of the module
and read from there. Hence, you do not need complex
driver interfaces within the VME-bus.
