Sniffing on the Profibus

The Project

iba Products

In a hot strip mill, several different measurement systems

were used within plant production areas. A unified measurement system, which enabled the analysis of complex
relationships, was requested. The data obtained was to
be accessible throughout the rolling mill and saved for
long-term analysis and quality evaluations. The control
systems used were Siemens S7 and SMS Xpact.

ibaBM-DPM-S is a fast interface device for Profibus DP.

The device has two modes of operation: sniffer mode and
active slave mode.
ibaLink-SM-128V connects VME bus systems with iba
measurement systems as well as ibaLogic. It has 64
analog plus 64 binary channels over two fiber optic
cables sender links. An additional receiver link with 64 +
64 channels supports communication functions as well

The Technology
Because of the high number of measurement signals,
an analog measuring method was ruled out. With the
Profibus Sniffer ibaBM-DPM-S, up to 512 analog and 512
digital signals can be read per milli-second. Neither the
Profibus nor the S7-CPUs must bear an additional load
because the sniffer module is not an active part of the
bus. It merely listens to the communication between the
automation modules and drive units such as distributed I/
Os. The Profibus data is transformed and sent through the
fiber optic link to a data acquisition computer containing
input cards from the ibaFOB card family along with the
acquisition software, ibaPDA-V6. Data acquisition from
VME bus-based system is carried out via interface board,
ibaLink-SM-128V-i-2o. All relevant data is placed in data
files in their entirety and can be examined and evaluated
with the complimentary ibaAnalyzer. Also, the data can
be archived in an external database for long-term content
analysis.

Konfiguration
Configuration fr
for Simatic S7
as the expansion of VME systems with iba peripheral
devices. The refresh rate of all signals on the fiber optic
bus is 1ms.
ibaPDA-V6 is a PC based system for centralized capturing and recording of process data. The recording can be
chosen as time, length, batch or product related. Measurements are stored as so-called DAT-Files and can be
evaluated with the complimentary ibaAnalyzer.
