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.

7 Configuration
7.1 Configuration on SIMATIC TDC
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-
TDCexp is also connected (GDM).
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, you only have to enter the telegram 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

Handshake
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.
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 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
(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-TDCexp. In case the ibaFOB-D card is not being used but several
ibaFOB-TDC(exp) or ibaFOB-SD(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 for all other applications, e.g. ibaLogic.
