ibaAnalyzer database functionality
The Database Interface for ibaAnalyzer
With the database functionality of ibaAnalyzer, it is possible to further aggregate the measurement data in terms of length or time and to store the characteristic values (KPIs) calculated in ibaAnalyzer in databases.
At a Glance
- Database extraction via ADO.NET connectors
- Integration of basic process data into the production and quality management
- Transparent and comprehensible calculation and extraction of quality data and characteristic values (KPI) from high-resolution
- Using ibaAnalyzer and ibaAnalyzer-Reportgenerator based on database queries
- Answering process-related questions by database analysis
Calculation of Quality Data
With the iba system, production and quality data can be generated directly from data recorded with high resolution taking into account the above-mentioned requirements. For this purpose, high-resolution data must first be prepared appropriately with ibaAnalyzer, then aggregated with ibaAnalyzer-DB and afterwards loaded into a database.
Before data is loaded into the database, it can be fully „pre“-processed with the well-known analysis functions of ibaAnalyzer. In this process, existing analysis specifications can be used to extract a variety of data into the database, such as, for example:
measured signals
derived and calculated signals
(virtual signals)
statistic values,
such as maxima, minima, averages, standard deviations
characteristics calculated related to the product,
such as violations of limits, product blocking note, customer IDs, length calculations (e.g. undercoating length, prime piece length), etc.
Standard interface for databases
ibaAnalyzer-DB uses ADO.net for communication with the databases. Based on this concept, ibaAnalyzer can work with many different databases, such as, for example:
Product Highlights
Layer Model is broken
The classic layer model of communication in production automation is consciously broken through in order to be able to offer the following advantages:
- versatile connectivity
- fast data acquisition
- data pre-processing right after generation
- calculation of KPIs direct at the source
- source of KPI data is known and traceable
- drill down to raw data possible
- flexibility in case of changes - if different or more data have to be extracted into the database, only the configuration but not the communication interfaces between the individual levels need to be adapted.
Automated Data Extraction
Although ibaAnalyzer-DB uses completed measurement files as a source, analysis and extraction can be automated in a very process-oriented way. Using the post-processing function in ibaPDA or ibaLogic, the analysis can be started immediately after a measurement file has been created. Additional utilities, such as ibaDatCoordinator or batch files, are available for more sophisticated solutions.
Product Features
Loading data into database – scalable extraction
The user can define any number of archiving profiles for extraction in order to reduce the data volume to a small but informative amount. Each measured signal can be individually assigned to an archiving profile.
Topology – from local to plant-wide analyses
When using ibaAnalyzer-DB with a local database, e.g. quality data of a plant can be analyzed, traced and managed clearly. MSSQL Express or MS Access databases are often used for such systems.
Database query
The standard query wizard of ibaAnalyzer-DB assists the user during database query or in searching for specific data using different criteria. Queries can be saved for later use and managed with ibaAnalyzer.
Database analysis
The read data can be viewed and analyzed in used way with ibaAnalyzer-DB. It is particularly interesting to note that analyses can also be carried out directly on the basis of the prepared characteristic values of the database.
This Software is one of many useful Add-ons of ibaAnalyzer
ibaAnalyzer is characterized by its broad capability for analyzing and evaluating data. The application is intuitive and offers an advanced set of functions. The license for analyzing measurement files, which have been generated with the iba system, is free of charge.
