Locate Errors and Eliminate Failures

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document explores the use of ibaPDA-PLC-Xplorer and ibaAnalyzer for troubleshooting in industrial and energy sectors. These tools are essential for understanding plant processes, identifying errors, and eliminating failures to enhance plant availability and product quality.
Specifications and Procedures
The iba method involves a two-step process: synchronous data recording from PLCs and subsequent data analysis. Tools like ibaPDA-PLC-Xplorer are used for data acquisition, while ibaAnalyzer is used for data analysis. The system supports various PLCs such as CODESYS, SIMATIC S7, and Allen-Bradley, enabling flexible and cost-effective data acquisition without additional hardware.
Data Recording and Analysis
Data can be recorded based on time or events, with triggers for specific error conditions. The online trend view allows real-time signal monitoring. Analysis can occur during or after data recording, with options for automated evaluations and report generation.
Benefits
  • Systematic acquisition of complex processes.
  • Increased plant availability by quickly locating failures.
  • Root cause analysis and prevention of system errors.
  • Process optimization.
Case Studies
Troubleshooting at a Minesite: A scheduled maintenance shutdown revealed a sequence halt in an ore processing plant. Using ibaPDA-PLC-Xplorer, the root cause was identified as a solenoid valve short circuit, significantly reducing downtime.
Packaging Manufacturer: In gravure printing, optimizing roll changes reduced waste from 40 meters to 5 meters by stabilizing web tension using iba systems.
Conclusion
The document underscores the effectiveness of iba tools in troubleshooting and optimizing industrial processes, emphasizing their role in reducing downtime and improving efficiency.
Overview
The document discusses the integration of ibaPADU devices and Profibus-Sniffer ibaBM-DPM-S in a gravure printing process to enhance efficiency and reduce waste. These devices convert analog signals to digital values and synchronize data acquisition with the printing machine's PLC.
Specifications
ibaPADU devices convert ±10-Volt signals from sensors and register controls into digital values. The Profibus-Sniffer ibaBM-DPM-S collects data from the machine's PLC, synchronized with the register control of the gravure printing press.
Procedures
The document outlines data analysis processes to improve print image quality by adapting the hydraulics of the pressure roller, significantly reducing waste during roll changes.
Results
The implementation of these technologies led to a 90% reduction in waste during the printing process, particularly during roll changes.
Training and Support
The document lists various training courses available for measurement and data evaluation using the iba system, including synchronous recording and automatic reporting.
Product Information
Details about the ibaPDA-PLC-Xplorer system and its interfaces for different PLC systems are provided, along with upgrade options and order information for ibaCapture products.
Contact Information
The document provides contact details for iba AG headquarters in Germany and its subsidiaries and sales partners worldwide, covering regions such as Europe, Asia, Australia, Oceania, Central and South America, North America, and Africa.

Area of application: Troubleshooting Understanding plants - Avoid errors Failures in automated plants lead to production downtimes and products of poor quality. Thus, it is extremely important to find these failures. In case of failure, the maintenance technician needs to have access to the measurement data which have been recorded during the disturbance. By analyzing these data, the technician finds the cause and eliminates the failure in the plant in a targeted way. Relevant data must be at hand In order to be able to conclusively analyze failures in a production plant, relevant data from the...

mat (* .dat), which can then be evaluated with ibaAnatyzer. Since data collection and analysis are separate, analysis can already be performed during recording or at a later time, such as by experts remote from the facility. ibaAnalyzer can run on several computers, so that multiple users can analyze the data individually. The data can centrally be stored on a server or sent by e-mail. Problem-specific analysis The analysis can be performed according to individual, problem-oriented aspects. ibaAnalyzer offers extensive mathematical functions to calculate characteristic values, to quantify and...

After a scheduled maintenance shutdown in an ore processing plant, the start-up of a certain process always resulted in a shutdown. The cause of the error could only be found when high-resolution data was acquired. The project After a scheduled maintenance shutdown in an ore processing plant, the start-up of a particular sequence came to a grinding halt whenever a certain step in the sequence was reached. The plant operators could not determine the root cause of the problem, as their SCADA system was flooded with seemingly unrelated alarm messages when this sequence stop occurred. A quick initial...

A critical point in the printing process are the changes of the rolls. By detailed analysis of the processes in the printing press the produced waste could be reduced considerably. The project Gravure printing is used for print jobs with a high edition of usually more than 300,000 copies. With the increasing competition on the market, the packaging manufacturers are constantly striving to enhance the efficiency of their plants, especially to reduce the set-up times and the waste. For this purpose, it is important to know and analyze exactly the processes running on the machine. A critical point...
