Denion of task ibaDatCoordinator
2 Denionoftask
The ibaDatCoordinator program is generally only capable of forwarding one single analysis and
one single .dat le per launch of ibaAnalyzer. If in an analysis more than one .dat les are used,
e.g. by several ibaPDA systems belonging to dierent areas of a plant running in parallel, these
les cannot be processed just like that.

ibaDatCoordinator Approach for the soluon
3 Approachforthesoluon
For avoiding this restricon of ibaDatCoordinator, you have access to a so called ExtractScript
task. By means of this task, the ibaDatCoordinator program can execute any scripts that are
available as *.bat, *.vbs or *.js. The following examples show the soluon by means of “Win-
dows Scripng Host” les. The applicaon ibaAnalyzer can call these les with a greater number
of .dat les in the right sequence.
The criteria for merging matching data les may be dierent, depending on the the applicaon
case.
Criterium Applicaon
Date and me Temporal precise comparison of simultaneously created data les
on synchronized ibaPDA systems, e.g. In energy distribuon plants
Product-ID/ Number Collecng measured values from dierent producon plants,
passed by the same product one aer the other, which have their
own ibaPDA systems.
Event / trigger Comparison of measured values (me- and product-indepen-
dent) at a certain process event (triggered data les with pre- and
post-trigger me)

This approach works because the data les can be assigned clearly either by Technostring infor-
maon or by me stamp. The structure in the le system looks like the structure shown in the
following gure:
Fig. 1: Example for le system of data les for product-oriented analysis
The folders "Recording1", "Recording2" and "Recording3" correspond to the dierent ibaPDA
systems or producon plants respecvely and contain the corresponding les "Product number.
dat" (1 data le per product). The product numbers in the lenames are used for the assign-
ment of the data les from dierent staons later.
For data les, whose measured values should be compared precisely along the me axis, the
assignment can be done with consideraon of date/me.
Fig. 2: Example for le system of data les for me-oriented analysis
Note
There may occur problems if umlauts or special characters are used in lenames.
Therefore, name the les without blanks and special characters.

ibaDatCoordinator Conguraon
5 Conguraon
The applicaon ibaDatCoordinator has to be congured for a script task.
Fig. 3: Screenshot of the project conguraon for the job “dat.Merge”
As shown in Fig. 3, the project in ibaDatCoordinator is adapted to the specic requirements. As
Dat le directory, you specify the directory of the .dat les whose plant secon is processed last
(in me). This is how it is guaranteed that the les of the other recordings have been processed
as well. If we have e.g. a look at a hot strip mill, where data are recorded on the roughing mill,
nishing line and the coiler, you would have to dene the directory with the coiler´s data as Dat
le directory as it is the last process in the row.

Fig. 4: Conguraon of the script task
In Fig. 4, you can see the required sengs for the script task. In the „Script” eld, you can either
directly program a script or edit an exisng script. You can also upload an exisng le to the
project by clicking on the “Open le” buon. In the “Execute” eld, ll in “%f” as argument. This
way, the script for each .dat le is launched with the complete path of the le.

ibaDatCoordinator Applicaon examples
6 Applicaonexamples
In this chapter you will nd several examples for dierent applicaons.
Tip
The sample scripts and sample analysis les as well as some tesng data of the
examples can be found on the DVD “iba Soware & Manuals”, which is part of
each soware delivery.
6.1 Product-orientedanalysisinahotrollingmill
Applicaon
The process chain consists of the plants Roughing Mill, Finishing Line and Coiler, each using its
own ibaPDA system. The data les of the three ibaPDA systems are stored in the folders Record-
ing 1, Recording2 and Recording3.
The product ID (coil number) remains the same throughout the enre process chain. The mate-
rial tracking system provides for transmission of the correct product ID to each ibaPDA system,
enabling each ibaPDA system to write the product ID into the data lenames.
The purpose of this applicaon is to merge the measured values of the enre process chain into
one new data le. Therefore, all data les belonging to one product will be loaded into ibaAna-
lyzer together with the analysis le “mulle.pdo” and extracted into one new data le. In order
to avoid duplicated module numbers in the resulng data le, a module oset is applied during
extracon.

6.2 Time-oriented analysis in an HVDC plant
Applicaon
In this case, two data les from dierent staons, which were created at the same me by
triggered recording, should be merged into one le. By that, one is not urged to search for two
matching les in dierent folders.
ibaDatCoordinator is set on the folder “StaonA” where the data les of the rst staon are
stored. The script is looking for a matching le with the same date in folder “StaonB”. Both
data les will be loaded into ibaAnalyzer and merged by the analysis “Merge.pdo”. Then, the
new le will be renamed with a name as set in the script.
