iba Oceania announces the launch of
ibaPDA-PLC-Xplorer, an entry-level solution designed for PC based data
acquisition, recording and analysis.
Catering for Ethernet based signal acquisition
without the need to program the PLC, ibaPDA-PLC-Xplorer connects to an ever
growing range of control systems such as SIMATIC S7, Codesys and Allen-Bradley among
others.
Considered the troubleshooting and
commissioning tool of choice worldwide, ibaPDA-PLC-Xplorer is also recommended
for long term analysis and process optimisation. It provides the complete functionality
of ibaPDA and is able to record 64 signals from up to 16 independent PLCs.
Variable recording profiles
The new ibaPDA-PLC-Xplorer allows different
recording profiles to be defined for various applications and used
simultaneously. Continuous data recording is necessary for long term analyses
or process optimisations, but event based triggered recordings are useful when
errors have to be located.
Online display
The ibaPDA-PLC-Xplorer shows high
speed real time trends for analogue as well as digital signals complemented by
multimeter displays as well as oscilloscope and FFT views. Additionally,
different layouts and views can easily be created for different users.
Free analysis included
Users also have the advantage of
getting the generated historical data analysed flexibly according to different
criteria using the ibaAnalyzer software provided free of charge.
Scalable
In the event the user requires more
than 64 signals, the system can be converted to a complete ibaPDA system with
an upgrade license.
