Manual ibaBM-SLM
6 Product description
6.1 Application
The ibaBM-SLM device can be used to capture data from one or more frequency con-
verters of the SIMOVERT masterdrive series. The SIMOLINK Board (SLB) is integrated
in the SIMOVERT Masterdrive in order to guarantee the communication via the
SIMOLINK bus. The same board is inserted n the ibaBM-SLM device and hence en-
ables the connection of the device to a SIMOLINK system.
The SIMOLINK board is a participant within the SIMOLINK ring. In a closed ring all par-
ticipants work with the same system cycle.
The SIMOLINK board reads all telegrams on the SIMOLINK and saves the selected te-
legrams in a reception memory.
ibaBM-SLM was developed to capture and analyze the data of the SIMOVERT Master-
drives with an iba system. The central parts of the device are the iba technology and
the integrated SIMOLINK board (SLB).
For further information refer to Operating instructions SLB SIMOLINK Board
The goals of the ibaBM-SLM diagnostic unit are
Fast identification of errors from frequency converters (drives)
Quantification of drive regulator tuning and estimation of motor condition from volt-
age/current signals
Motor control optimization
Applications for the ibaBM-SLM are foreseen for the following purposes.
Permanent interface to an ibaPDA data acquisition system in a SIMOLINK topology
Intermediate use for troubleshooting and commissioning purposes
Short-term interface via a portable PC or notebook PC (if necessary, also as an ad-
dition to a fixed installation).
6.2 Advantages
The ibaPDA software is optimized for large-scale process monitoring. Up to 2048 ana-
log and binary signals can be visualized and recorded synchronously. Specifically for
the ibaBM-SLM Simolink Monitor, the ibaPDA software has been extended to support
sample resolutions in steps of 100 sec. This provides for bus update cycle matching
integer multiples of the Simolink bus cycle rate (min. 1.6 milliseconds per cycle). Set-
tings from 1.6 ms in steps of 100 µs are also possible (e.g. bus cycle time of 1.8 ms)
Apart from the ibaBM-SLM, additional I/O interfaces and software components exist for
multiple PLC systems (SIMATIC S5, SIMATIC S7, MMC216, SIMADYN D). ibaPDA
supports these interfaces in parallel. It should be noted, that the number of values must
not exceed the licensed number of signals.

6.3 ibaBM-SLM
6.3.1 Properties
Rugged metal housing for DIN rail mounting
1 SIMOLINK bus connection, can be buffered against voltage failure (SIEMENS
SLM module)
SIMOLINK module address of the diagnostic unit is adjustable within ibaPDA
Two uni-directional fiber-optic links (3.3 Mbps) with ST fiber optic connections to
ibaPDA computer
2 wired connections (RS422 on RJ11 socket) for Notebook PC
Transfer of up to 128 analog (INT or DINT) + 128 binary signals. Each fiber-optic or
RS422 connection can transmit 64 Float and 64 binary signals.
Data transfer on fiber-optic links synchronous to SIMOLINK bus cycle
Parallel data transfer on fiber optic link and RS422, whereas only one RS422 inter-
face of an ibaCom-PCMCIA-F card can be used on the notebook side.
Unregulated 24 V DC power supply
Unregulated 24 V DC SIMOLINK buffer supply
Configuration is stored permanently in the device
6.3.2 Data types
The data to be measured from the SIMOLINK bus is defined by using a setup dialog
within ibaPDA. The following data types may be measured.
16 bit integer (INTLOW and INTHIGH: -LOW indicates lower word, -HIGH indicates
upper word of 32-bit data word)
32 bit integer (DINT)
bit; via ibaPDA packed binary input through bit selection from 16-bit status words
Each data type corresponds to a measuring value. Up to 128 analog (INT16; DINT)
and 128 packed binary signals per ibaBM-SLM device can be transmitted to ibaPDA.
Note
Regardless of selected data types, all data are transmitted as 32-bit IEEE floating point
values.
Due to the conversion from 24 bit measuring resolution to 32 bit format, inaccuracy
may occur when using DINT data format.

6.3.3 Overview device configuration
The data to be measured are selected in the I/O Manager of ibaPDA-V6. The defini-
tion of the measuring data to be recorded in measuring files is done in the “Configu-
ration - Data storage” menu in ibaPDA-V6. You can define profiles which are avail-
able for several data stores and the number and the names of the data stores.
The configuration defined in ibaPDA is transmitted from the ibaPDA computer to
ibaBM-SLM via the serial interface.
