Basic principles ibaDatCoordinator

2 Basic principles

ibaDatCoordinator is the central component for automac processing of measurement data and

is hence vital for the use of the iba system in producve systems. All iba measurement les gen-

erated by ibaPDA or other systems (e.g. ibaQDR or ibaLogic) as well as data from HD stores of

ibaHD-Server can be processed automacally.

2.1 Funconsandapplicaons

The main task of ibaDatCoordinator is the post-processing of measurement data, which can be

available in dierent forms. In addion to processing DAT les and data from ibaHD-Server, ex-

ternal formats can also be processed (as a fee-based add-on). Depending on the data source, a

suitable "job" must be created.

Available jobs:

.dat-le triggered job Automac processing of DAT les in one or more directories

Scheduled job Processes data that is queried from an ibaHD-Server at regular

intervals

Event job Processes data that are retrieved from an ibaHD-Server based

on events (ibaHD event store).

One me job

External le triggered job Responds to various external formats (currently: CSV, DAS,

COMTRADE, PARQUET) and converts the data to DAT format.

Subject to license.

Details about the dierent job types can be found in chapter ì Processing data -

ibaDatCoordinator Jobs, page 54.

While the job type determines the data source, any number of tasks can be created for each job

(excepon: the external le triggered job) to control the further processing of the data.

The following tasks are available:

Report task Generates a report based on an analysis le with the

report generator of ibaAnalyzer.

Extract task Extracts data into a database or into a new le (iba

DAT le or external format).

Subject to

license

Script task Executes arbitrary scripts.

Copy task Copies data les to another locaon.

Upload task Uploads data les to dierent data storage servers.

Condion Implements a branching for task processing based on

dened criteria in the data le/HD query.

Pause task Interrupts the processing for an adjustable me

span.

Cleanup task Deletes les with an congurable lename extension

from a folder.

Splier task Splits one data le into two parts based on an ex-

pression or analysis le.

HD oine event task Generates an event, based on a data le or HD query

together with rules dened in an analysis le and

writes it into an HD event store.

Kaa Publish task Publishes values calculated on the basis of an

analysis le to an Apache Kaa cluster.

Basic principles ibaDatCoordinator

2.2 Licenses

ibaDatCoordinator is basically a freely installable and usable soware product. A comprehen-

sive basic funconality can be used free of charge, for more advanced funcons the appropriate

licenses per congured task or job have to be purchased.

The tasks for simple processing of DAT les (copy, cleanup, upload, report and splier task), the

general tasks (pause, condion, script and transfer data task) as well as the ibaHD tasks (ibaHD

import and HD oine event task) can be used free of charge and allow the conguraon of ex-

tensive automated processing workows.

Automated extracon of data (me series and calculated values) in databases requires one pur-

chased license per congured task (ibaDatCoordinator-DB). Extracng data in les requires one

purchased ibaDatCoordinator-File-Extract license per congured task.

The automated conversion of les from external formats into DAT les requires one purchased

license (ibaDatCoordinator Convert-CSV-to-dat / DAS-to-dat / COMTRADE-to-dat / Parquet-to-

dat) per congured job, depending on the external format used. The ibaAnalyzer instance used

in the job must also have the ibaAnalyzer-E-DAT license for reading external formats.

Publishing calculated values via one of the publish tasks (OPC UA, SNMP or Kaa) requires the

purchased ibaDatCoordinator-Publish license per congured task. In case of an extracon in da-

tabases, this license is also sucient, as long as only scalar values ('Info assignments' and 'Calcu-

lated columns' in the ibaAnalyzer data extractor) and no me series are extracted.

The special tasks for the subsequent update of measurement les (Data update task) and

for wring into SIMATIC S7 data blocks (S7 Writer task) also require separate licenses but

are not limited by counters per congured task (ibaDatCoordinator-Update Data Task,

ibaDatCoordinator S7 Writer).

Aracvely priced 10-task bundles are also available for some task types.

You can open the version history via the Help - version history menu in ibaDatCoordinator client.

All relevant requirements regarding the operang system and other iba components for the re-

specve version of ibaDatCoordinator are listed in the "Version compatbility" secon.

Compabilitytootheribaproducts

ibaAnalyzer is the essenal applicaon for the funcon of ibaDatCoordinator as it processes

many tasks in the background, such as extracon and reporng.

Note

Most of the funcons of ibaDatCoordinator require ibaAnalyzer to be installed as

well. We recommend to always use the latest available version of ibaAnalyzer.

In some cases, certain versions of other applicaons like ibaPDA or ibaHD-Server are also re-

quired.

Note

To use certain funcons of ibaDatCoordinator, a connecon to ibaHD-Server

must be possible.

Due to these cross-dependencies iba recommends installing the most recent versions of the in-

volved applicaons.

ibaDatCoordinator Basic principles

2.4 Installaon

The installaon les for ibaDatCoordinator are located on the data medium "iba Soware &

Manuals" in the directory "01_iba_Soware\ibaDatCoordinator".

Execute the ibaDatCoordinator_vx.y.z.exe le to start the installaon.

Follow the instrucons of the installaon wizard. When prompted, select the desired installa-

on type for ibaDatCoordinator. The following opons are available:

Install ibaDatCoordinator as

stand alone executable

In this case, ibaDatCoordinator does not run as a service, but

locally in a separate process. This installaon type is recom-

mended for interacve use (standalone) and tesng purposes.

For producve use, we recommend the installaon as client/

server.

Install ibaDatCoordinator

server and client

Standard installaon. ibaDatCoordinator is installed and ex-

ecuted as a service. The conguraon is done via the client

applicaon.

Install ibaDatCoordinator cli-

ent only

Can be selected if no ibaDatCoordinator service is to be oper-

ated on the PC, but only the client is needed for remote con-

guraon on another system.

When the ibaDatCoordinator service is installed, select the user account under which the ser-

vice is to be operated. The default seng "Local System Account" is recommended for most ap-

plicaons. For operang ibaDatCoordinator with a so-called Managed Service Account, see also

chapter ì Create a managed service account, page 138.

Finally, select the installaon directory of ibaDatCoordinator.

14 3.0

Basic principles ibaDatCoordinator

Note

When installing as a service, the system automacally checks whether the re-

source allocaon in the operang system is opmally set in the Windows reg-

istry le. If tasks with a high demand on resources are to be performed, it is

recommended to perform opmizaon. This can be manually done later via the

ibaDatCoordinator status applicaon.

Note

If ibaDatCoordinator is installed as a service (client-server installaon), the

jobs are executed by a Windows service. The service is congured with the

ibaDatCoordinator client. When you close ibaDatCoordinator client, the process-

ing of jobs is not stopped.

When installing as a service, the ibaDatCoordinator Status program is also installed. It is

used for operaon and diagnosis of the ibaDatCoordinator service. Aer installaon, the

ibaDatCoordinator status icon appears in the Windows taskbar.

The dierent symbols indicate the following states:

ibaDatCoordinator service running

ibaDatCoordinator service stopped

2.4.1 Installaonviacommandline

The installaon of ibaDatCoordinator can also be started via a command line. This is helpful for

central soware administraon or when using deployment systems.

The installaon process can also run in the so-called "Silent Mode", meaning that there is no

interacon with the user (clicking the <Next> buon in the installaon wizard).

You can control how the installaon should take place and which components should be in-

stalled with the command line switches that are set aer the call of the installaon program.

Notaon:

ibaDatCoordinatorSetup_vX.Y.Z.exe [/S] [/installtype=] [/port=]

[/D]

3.0 15

ibaDatCoordinator Basic principles

/S With this switch, you install ibaDatCoordinator in "Silent Mode", i.e. no

interacon is required during the installaon.

Without specifying further parameters, the installer is executed as if

<Next> was always pressed in the dialog. This will install the program parts

from the default seng during a fresh installaon. During an update instal-

laon, the selected program parts from the previous installaon remain

selected.

/installtype= Use this switch to select the installaon type of ibaDatCoordinator.

Allowed values are:

0: installs ibaDatCoordinator as program

1: installs ibaDatCoordinator server and client

2: installs only ibaDatCoordinator client

/port= With this switch, you select the TCP port over which ibaDatCoordinator

service communicates with the client. The port can be set later in the

ibaDatCoordinator Status applicaon.

This switch can only be used together with the /installtype=2 opon.

Default seng: 8800

/D Use this buon to specify the installaon folder, i.e. the program folder.

The switch must be the last parameter on the command line and must not

contain quotes, even if the pathname contains spaces. Only absolute path

specicaon is allowed.

2.5 Starngtheprogram

2.5.1 ibaDatCoordinatorclient

There are dierent ways to start the ibaDatCoordinator program or client:

The applicaons can be found in the start menu under:

■ Windows start menu – All programs – iba – ibaDatCoordinator

If ibaDatCoordinator client is used, it automacally tries to connect to the last connected server.

The currently connected server is displayed in the status bar of the program (boom right).

16 3.0

Basic principles ibaDatCoordinator

Note

Normally, the communicaon is encrypted. Only if the ibaDatCoordinator service

version does not support this, the conguraon is transmied unencrypted.

If you want to select a dierent server, open the Service menu and select Connect.

Select the server to be connected to the client in the dialog.

3.0 17

ibaDatCoordinator Basic principles

The selecon of the ibaDatCoordinator server is done either by double-clicking the server in the

list or by selecng the server and then clicking <OK>.

The <Search> buon starts and stops the search for acve ibaDatCoordinator servers on the

computer and network. The search process is displayed by a blue progress bar in the dialog win-

dow.

If the server is not found in the network, it is possible to enter the IP address and port manually.

The default port is 8800.

The eld has a drop-down list that allows you to select a server from the 10 most recently con-

nected servers.

If you conrm the dialog with <OK>, the client aempts to connect to the selected server by the

specied port. If you leave the dialog using <Cancel>, the client remains connected to the previ-

ously connected server.

Note

When installing ibaDatcoordinator as a program, it is not necessary to connect to

2.6 ibaDatCoordinatorstatusapplicaon

The ibaDatCoordinator status applicaon provides funcons to monitor and congure the

ibaDatCoordinator service.

Service

Priorityofservice

You can dene dierent priories for the ibaDatCoordinator service. The default value is "Nor-

mal".

If you choose a higher priority the process is given more CPU-me. If you lower the level, more

CPU me is provided to other processes. Keep the seng "normal" if you use only one or a few

jobs and there is enough me to complete the task.

Choose a higher priority if there is less me available and the execuon of the job should not be

interrupted by other processes. If the priority of service is changed, the ibaDatCoordinator ser-

vice will need to be restarted.

Automacallystartservicewhenwindowsstarts

When this opon is enabled, the ibaDatCoordinator service starts automacally when Windows

is starng.

Buon<Opmizesystemresources>

If you click this buon, ibaDatCoordinator checks the resource allocaon in the operang sys-

tem and corrects the sengs in the Windows registry le if necessary.

If this opmizaon is not done, the number of simultaneously available ibaAnalyzer instances is

reduced to a maximum of 6.

When clicking the buon, ibaDatCoordinator stores a back-up copy of the registry entries in the

program folder.

Status

In the status display, you can see if the service is running or not.

<Start>,<Stop>and<Restart>buons

With these buons, you can stop, start and restart the ibaDatCoordinator service.

Especially with extensive conguraons, stopping all jobs and the service can take a long me.

If necessary, all involved processes can be manually forced to stop immediately with the <Force

Stop> buon.

ibaDatCoordinator Basic principles

Port

This is the port number through which the ibaDatCoordinator service communicates with the

client. The port number can be adjusted via the <Change> buon if necessary.

Default seng: 8800

Note

When installing in exisng networks, the port number might be used by other

devices or processes, or the port number might be blocked by the rewall. In

such cases, the operaon of the ibaDatCoordinator service, e.g. starng and

stopping jobs, is not possible (no connecon to the service, red header bar in

the client). In this case, change the port number so that it can be used only by

ibaDatCoordinator and/or is approved in the rewall.

OpenibaDatCoordinatorclient

Clicking the ibaDatCoordinator symbol opens the ibaDatCoordinator client which automa-

cally connects to the correct server.

ibaAnalyzer

Executable

This displays the path to the ibaAnalyzer.exe applicaon (read-only). When you click on the but-

ton with the ibaAnalyzer symbol, ibaAnalyzer is started. If no ibaAnalyzer installaon was found,

this is also displayed.

When you click the buon with the ibaAnalyzer icon, ibaAnalyzer is started so that you can veri-

fy your seng.

Buon<TransferibaAnalyzersengs>

Sengs of ibaAnalyzer, like default sengs, macros and lters are usually stored user-related. If

ibaDatCoordinator is installed as service, the user accounts of ibaDatCoordinator client and ser-

vice can be dierent. If ibaAnalyzer sengs for the tasks that are to be fullled have been nal-

ized and saved under the client user, these sengs are not available to the service for process-

ing tasks as the service starts ibaAnalyzer under a dierent user account. Execung a macro, for

example, would then not work.

When clicking the buon, ibaAnalyzer sengs are transferred from the local user account to the

system account so that they are available for the execuon of analyses by ibaDatCoordinator

and/or ibaAnalyzer.

This applies in parcular to the printer sengs. It may be necessary to run the service under a

dierent user in order to use network printers.

2.7 Featuresoftheclient-serverinstallaon

Mulpleclientconnecons

It is possible for mulple clients to connect to the same ibaDatCoordinator server. This means

that mulple clients can modify the jobs and tasks of ibaDatCoordinator on the server.

Clients can detect whether another client has made changes. If this is the case, a dialog appears

where the client is able to save local changes before the changes of the other client are applied

to the current client.

To prevent mulple clients from modifying the server conguraon, the password funconality

can be enabled in the Sengs dialog of the navigaon menu.

Execungtheserviceonaremotesystem

If the service is executed on a remote system, analysis les, scripts, and source and target direc-

tories should be on the remote system. When specifying a local le system path, it should be a

local path on the server system. If the path leads to a shared network folder, ibaDatCoordinator

converts the path to a UNC path.

Clicking the browse buon where you can specify such paths opens a dialog that emulates a

browse dialog running on the server system. For tasks where you can specify an analysis le (on

the remote system or on a shared network locaon), a copy of the analysis le is downloaded to

the client system each me. If changes have been made, the le can be uploaded to the server

manually.

Plugins

If plugins are to be used in the ibaDatCoordinator, these must be installed on the server system.

If you aempt to install the plugins on a system on which only the client is installed, you will re-

ceive a warning and the installaon will be canceled.

When a client connects to a server for the rst me, the les needed for the execuon of the

plugin will be transferred from the server to the client. If the client connects to another server,

the already loaded plugin components might not be compable with the version of the new

server to be connected. If this is the case, ibaDatCoordinator will have to be restarted so that

the plugins can be copied correctly.
