Introduction to PDA

iba is the major supplier for Process Data Acquisiton Systems

for the leading Automation Companies of the world :

Basically its a tool which is useful for troubleshooting and

Monitoring of equipments in plant.

We can generate reports directly by using this tool.

Basic tools.

Fault analysis.
FaultanalysisisthemostimportantpartofPda,whichmakesyoua
stepaheadwhenfaultoccursinprocessspeciallywhenitis
repetitive.

General maintenance.

Blowing and cleaning of server and client cpu done at

monthly basis.
Fibre optics and profibus connector tightness checking done
at monthly quarterly basis.
Saved iba files transferred to external storage device on
weekly basis.
Back up of entire sever including configuration and signals
are taken on quarterly basis or after any changes.
Anti virus software run on regular basis.

Advantages

Process can be viewed graphically in the PDA server or client.

And can be judged for the better running of the process.
Health of the pinch rolls can be monitored. Even all the
devices connected in the mill attached to the PDA can be
viewed on the PDA and monitored for its working.
Problem in our case the reason for the cobble can be
analyzed with the help of the signals logged, with the help of
PDA.
Any signal which are not connected directly can be obtained
virtually be writing the expression for the signal.
Report can also be generated for any fault occurred.
Any special signal can be connected directly connected to
the PDA Digital module.
