2 Scope of delivery
The following components are included with the delivery.
ibaFOB-TDCexp card
Manual
Synchronization cable (sync cable)
For more accessories not included in delivery, please see www.iba-ag.com.
3 Safety information
Please consider the following safety advises:
To prevent electrical shock during installation or uninstallation of the device disconnect
the power supply from the computer before opening!
This card contains components which can be destroyed by electrostatic discharge. Prior
to touching any electronics card, your body must be electrically discharged. This can be
simply done by touching a conductive, grounded object immediately beforehand (e.g.
bare metal cabinet components, socket protective conductor contact).

5 Introduction
5.1 Application
The ibaFOB-TDCexp card couples the iba Process Data Acquisition system ibaPDA with
the Siemens control system SIMATIC TDC. To achieve this, the ibaFOB-TDCexp card
must be connected to one of the free ports of the CP52IO (GDM Interface Module of the
SIMATIC TDC).
The CP52IO realizes the access to the GDM memory card CP52M0. Using a fiber optic
link the TDC racks are connected to the CP52IO via the CP52A0 card. Up to 44 TDC
racks can be connected to the GDM in total. For the TDC system, the ibaPDA PC with
an ibaFOB-TDCexp card acts like a TDC rack, the ibaFOB-TDCexp card acts like a
CP52A0 card.
This topology enables the ibaPDA system with an ibaFOB-TDCexp card to communicate
notionally with every processor in one of the connected TDC racks (max. 43).

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-TDC
Firmware update without dismounting the card
Bidirectional fiber optic link with 640 Mbit/s
Absolutely noise free acquisition of process data
Enhanced SIMATIC TDC 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 card.
5.3 Operational modes
To measure SIMATIC TDC system numeric and binary values must be transported be-
tween the TDC system and the PC, which means that internal variables of the TDC sys-
tem may be visualized and recorded. For recording purposes two different software pack-
ages are supported by the ibaFOB-TDCexp card:
SD-TDC-lite:
All values to be measured by ibaPDA have to be manually programmed in CFC
charts of the control unit. Changes of signals require a change in this chart. Up to
16 process telegrams 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 telegrams are determined by ibaPDA. Up to 4 cards in a PC are sup-
ported 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 TDC variables by their names, i.e. the chart, function block and
the connector names. To do that for every TDC CPU special service function blocks
must be included in the CFC chart of the control unit.
The information about the variable names (address books) is transferred from the
TDC CPU to the ibaPDA system directly via the ibaFOB-TDCexp card.
ibaPDA supports up to 4 cards with up to 50 processor connections per card and
additionally, the ibaPDA-Technostring.

Note
An additional software license “ibaPDA-Request-TDC” is required in order to use the
SD-/TDC request function. It must be enabled on the iba software dongle.
The service function blocks required for the request function are included in the iba
function block library FBAPDA. You find the library on the DVD-ROM delivered with
ibaPDA.
Other documentation
The configuration of the request function is described in the “ibaPDA-Request-SD-
TDC” manual.
