iba AG sends Historical-Data-server into the competition
ibaHD-Server
ibaHD-server (HD=historical data), the new software component developed by the Fuerth based iba AG, records data continuously over long periods of time and displays these data consistently. With the same tool, users can watch live data and access historical data without any delay.
Whether in paper manufacturing industries, processes in continuous casting or chemical plants: especially in long technical processes, the possibility to record data over file boundaries is a clear advantage. So far, iba AG has followed an approach that offers very good solutions for batch processes: The ibaPDA system for data acquisition generates single data files that can be displayed and analyzed by means of the ibaAnalyzer analyzing tool. Analyzing these data over a long period of time, has been so far rather tedious. You either had to analyze single data files or to arrange a string of files in the ibaAnalyzer tool. The new software component ibaHD-server facilitates this long term analysis.
Analyzing measured data from milliseconds up to years
The ibaHD concept comprises a client- and a server component. The server component runs under Windows, either on the ibaPDA-computer or on a separate computer in the network. ibaPDA continuously acquires data and sends these to the HD-server. The measured data are stored in a special file structure for weeks, months or years. A client component, which is integrated in the ibaPDA-client, displays the data. With only a few clicks, the user has access to long term overviews as well as to signal details in a range of milliseconds.
An ibaPDA-system can supply several historical data records on one or more HD-servers with data. This way, you can e.g. separate production and maintenance data. You can define individually for each HD recording, which signals are to be stored. Moreover, several ibaPDA-systems can write their data on one single HD-server, but in different HD-recordings. Hence, the HD-server is e.g. a superior level solution for recording data from several installations of a plant.
Solutions tailored to your needs
The scope of performance of the ibaHD-server can be customized. The basic licenses are graded according to the number of signals and comprise one HD-server, two HD-recordings and two HD-clients. According to Dr. Ulrich Lettau, CEO of the iba AG, the system is to be extended: “We want to improve the ibaHD-server continuously. To take an example: in the near future, the software will be able to record and display historical data in a product-based manner.“
ibaHD-server at a glance
• Continuous recording of data over a long period of time
• Direct access to historical data out of the ibaPDA data acquisition system
• Intuitive interface for visualizing historical data (e.g. browsing, scrolling, jumping to a certain date)
• Fast zoom function (annual, monthly or weekly overview up to a millisecond range)
• Combined display of current and historical data in one application
• Simple configuration by means of the familiar ibaPDA-V6-interface

More Releases from iba AG
iba connectivity grows by connection to PROFINET network
With ibaBM-PN, iba AG has again broadened its extensive connectivity to automation systems and bus systems of many automation suppliers. The newly developed PROFINET bus monitor ibaBM-PN supports the PROFINET IO communication standard. This way, iba extends its range of field bus and drive bus monitors, which serve as interfaces for data acquisition in ibaPDA (the process data acquisition system of iba). By this, data from automation systems and peripheral…
iba AG enhances software for data acquisition by two new interfaces
Plant builders, service technicians and control programmers can now benefit from extended options of ibaPDA-PLC-Xplorer: recently two new interfaces have been added to iba’s popular data acquisition software. Now it can also be combined with Beckhoff controllers and B&R systems.
With the new TwinCAT-Xplorer interface, the user has access to Beckhoff controllers with the Beckhoff-ADS protocol. It supports the TwinCAT versions 2 and 3. As for most of the ibaPDA-PLC-Xplorer…

Research project by iba AG and the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz
Flat products in metal processing industry are produced in several steps. The individual process steps are usually not interconnected directly, but are separated by transportation routes and interim storage facilities. When the coils are supplied to the next process step, they might be mixed up. For identifying the coils, iba AG has developed in cooperation with the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz mathematical algorithms and processes that are based on…
ibaPDA-V6 now available with interface for Bachmann-M1-controller
iba AG has added to the connectivity of ibaPDA-V6 - its PC-based system for central acquisition of process data - a request interface for M1 control systems by Bachmann. Using this interface, users can configure conveniently the measurement of data from the control during operation. By means of the request technology, the user gets important information for troubleshooting in course of the running production process.
The ibaPDA-V6 process data acquisition system…
ibaLink-VME connects iba components to common controllers
