5 Introduction
5.1 Application
The ibaFOB-SDexp PC card couples the iba Process Data Acquisition system ibaPDA
with the Siemens control system SIMADYN D (SD). Therefore, the ibaFOB-SDexp must
be connected to one of the free fiber optic links of the SIMADYN D CS12, CS13 or CS14.
The boards only differ in the amount of links supported by the cards (1, 4 or 8). If in the
following text the CS14 is referred to the meaning is valid for CS12 and CS13 too.
The slaves are connected via their CS22 cards to the master rack. The CS14 is the
coupling partner in the master rack. Via the communication memory of the CS14 the
slaves may communicate with the master and other slaves. The ibaPDA PC with an
ibaFOB-SDexp card acts like a slave rack in the SIMADYN D system, the ibaFOB-SDexp
card acts like a CS22.
This topology enables the ibaFOB-SDexp to communicate in theory with every processor
in one of the connected racks (max. 7) or the master rack. This would be up to 64 CPUs.
Figure 1: Example of configuration with ibaPDA
By means of the Siemens interface board CP53M0 the ibaFOB-SDexp card can be con-
nected with the SIMATIC TDC control system. The board is available in SIMATIC TDC
(D7-SYS V7.1 or higher) and can be configured as master or slave. In master mode one
port can be used for connection to ibaPDA with an ibaFOB-SDexp card. The other port
provides for connection to a slave rack. The slave rack can be either SIMADYN D with
CS22 board or SIMATIC TDC with CP53 board (slave mode).

5.2 Characteristics
The card has the following characteristics:
PCI Express card for 1.0-x1 compatible slot
100% functional compatible with the predecessor ibaFOB-SD
Firmware update without dismounting the card
1 bidirectional fiber optic channel with 96 Mbit/s (ST coupling)
Absolutely noise free acquisition of process data
Enhanced SIMADYN D system diagnostics
Display for card ID, processor and link status via 7-segment display and LEDs
Up to 4 PCIe cards per PC
Plug and Play installation
All component parameters are 100% controlled by software. No wiring or jumpering
is necessary for that board.
5.3 Operational modes
To measure SIMADYN D system numeric and binary values must be transported be-
tween the SD system and the PC, which means that internal variables of the SD system
may be visualized and recorded. For recording purposes two different software packages
are supported by the ibaFOB-SDexp card:
SD-TDC-lite:
All values to be measured by ibaPDA have to be manually programmed in the con-
trol unit. Changes of signals require a change in this program. Up to 16 process tel-
egrams are to be defined per card which transport the values to ibaPDA containing
32 analog plus 32 digital variables each. Structure and length of the process tele-
grams are determined by ibaPDA. Up to 4 cards in a PC are supported by ibaPDA.
In addition the ibaPDA-Technostring (non-structured ASCII-string with a length of up
to 512 bytes) can be configured.
SD-TDC-Request:
The definition of the signals to be measured is independent of the connected con-
trol unit system. All changes are done in ibaPDA. ibaPDA supports the functionality
to select the internal variables by their names, i.e. the chart, function block and the
connector names. To do that for every SD CPU special service function blocks must
be included in the program of the control unit.
The information about the variable names (address books) is transferred from the
SD CPU to the ibaPDA system directly (for CFC) or is created by the STRUC editor
and then transmitted to ibaPDA by file transfer.
ibaPDA supports up to 4 cards with up to 50 processor connections per card and
additionally the ibaPDA-Technostring.

7 Configuration
7.1 Configuration on the control unit
7.1.1 SD-TDC-lite transmission channels
When projecting the transmission channels, the following is to be observed:
The names of the channels are established and should not be used elsewhere.
The names of the max. 16 transmission channels (from the perspective of the
control) are as follows:
Channel 1: M0PDADAT
Channel 2: M1PDADAT
: :
Channel 10: M9PDADAT
Channel 11: MAPDADAT
::
Channel 16: MFPDADAT
The data structure of the telegrams is established and cannot be changed:
32 analog values as data type FLOAT and 32 binary values as DWORD.
The channels are to be projected as process data channels in the REFRESH or
MULTIPLE channel mode.
Important information
All channels must support the same channel mode, either all REFRESH or all
MULTIPLE.
The channels can be on different processors. The CTS connectors of the transmis-
sion function blocks must indicate the rack link component to which ibaFOB-SDexp
is also connected (CS14 or CP53M0)).
The channels can be projected in different time slices.
The "CTV" or "CTV_P" function blocks are to be used for transmission.
Note
When using the CTV function block, you have to apply all telegram data to the virtual
connection, see figure 4.
When using the CTV_P function block (for CFC only), you only have to enter the tele-
gram length 132 bytes at the NBY connector, see figure 5.
Note
All analog values are to be converted to FLOAT, if applicable.

7.1.2 SD-TDC-lite reception channels
Note
Though the current firmware version provides the reception channels, they are not yet
supported by iba-Software.
7.1.3 Technostring
The Technostring (TS) is a slow process data channel with which additional non-cyclical
alphanumeric data that accompany the measurement can be transmitted to ibaPDA. The
TS runs independently of the PDA data channels.
The TS channel must be projected on the control side. The user has to make sure that
the TS is transmitted to ibaPDA in case of a change or in a slow cycle (>= 1 second).
The TS channel is queried each second by ibaPDA.
Note
Only 1 TS is possible for each rack link. However, beyond the rack link you have the
possibility of transmitting other technostrings, e.g., via TCP/IP or serial interface.
The channel characteristics are defined as follows:
ibaPDA-Technostring
Channel name
PDA_ASCI
Channel length
512 Byte
Data format
Unformatted alphanumeric character string

Use
Transmission of strip attributes, technology and material related
data before entry of a new strip in the rolling train.
Cycle

Note
When using the CTV function block, you have to apply all telegram data to the virtual
connection or put the telegram together from partial telegrams.
When using the CTV_P function block, you only have to enter the telegram length 512
bytes at the NBY connector (see example below).
Note
Make sure that non-printable characters are used to indicate the end of the string, e.g.
0x0D ('CR') or 0x00 ('NUL').

7.1.4 Time synchronization
If you want to synchronize the time of the ibaPDA system with the Siemens control, then
you have to project an RTCM function block that reads the system time from a source or
generates it itself and distributes it on the frame. This time function block may only be
projected once per frame.
Synchronization is done by means of a DCF77 digital signal that is generated on the
control:
On the control side, project on one CPU a DCF77 function block in the fastest sampling
time (<5 ms). This function block supplies a digital DCF77 signal with polarity 0=active.
Put it on a bit of a SD-TDC-lite telegram.
The function block is contained in the FBAPDA function block library of iba AG. (If you
require more information, please contact the support of iba AG.)
Figure 6: Configuration DCF77 time signal
Alternatively the synchronization can be done with an IEC-1131 time signal. For
this, convert the integer value of the relative time stamp of the function block RTCREL
(CFC) resp. RTC005 (STRUC) (seconds and 1/10 milliseconds starting 01/01/1988) to
the data format REAL and enter the values into the SD-TDC-lite telegram.

7.2 Configuration in ibaPDA
If the card has been installed correctly it should be available in the I/O manager’s signal
tree as a data interface. If you click on the interface icon you will get a simplified image
of the card and essential information in the right part of the dialog.
7.2.1 Card configuration
Select the „Configuration“ tab.
Interrupt mode
The interrupt mode is automatically generated by ibaPDA: as soon as an ibaFOB-D card
is being used for configuration it is specified as “Interrupt-Master”. The “Slave-Mode” is
activated for ibaFOB-SDexp. In case the ibaFOB-D card is not being used but several
ibaFOB-SD(exp) or ibaFOB-TDC(exp) cards are activated, the mode “Interrupt-Master
intern” can be defined for one of these cards. As a result this card will generate the inter-
rupt for the other cards (Interrupt-Slaves). The interrupt will be transmitted to these iba
cards via the synchronization cable (sync cable is included in delivery).
Check the option “In use” if the card is being used by ibaPDA; remove the tick in the “In
use” checkbox when the card is used by other applications (e.g. ibaLogic).

7.2.2 Link configuration
If you mark the „Link 0“ under the ibaFOB-SDexp card in the signal tree, then the menus
for diagnostics of the communication connection appear on the right side.
Figure 9: Link level for ibaFOB-SDexp
In the “Configuration” tab you will find the data and entry fields which are necessary for
the connection to the CS14:
BGT name for PC:
With this name, ibaPDA logs in on the rack link function block group as BGT.
Default setting: “PDA001”
If there are several ibaPDA or ibaQDR system links to the CS14, it is recommended to
change the BGT name. For this purpose start the Windows Registry Editor “regedit”.
You will find the key “SDE_BgtName” under
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Service\PdaDrv.
BG name of FOB-SDexp link:
With this name, iba FOB-SDexp logs in on the rack link as BG. The default setting is the
ibaPDA license number, limited to 6 characters.
Important note
If there are several ibaPDA systems connected to a computer coupling, you have to
enter different BG names. The name of the connection needs to be unique within the
rack link.
BG name of CS12/13/14:
When the link is established, you can read the BG name from the control by a click on
<Autodetect system info>.
STRUC/CFC software version:
When the link is established, you can read the version of the software from the control
by a click on <Autodetect system info>.
Note
The following options will not be displayed if an “ibaPDA-Request-Simadyn-D”
(31.001330) license is available. In this case the options for the Simadyn-Request-Inter-
face are applicable.
