This includes time-critical data as well as user-specific quality data calculated in ibaPDA for product and process documentation. The MindConnect Library (MCL) forms the basis for the connection to MindSphere.
The iba system offers comprehensive process connectivity for data acquisition and can be linked to almost any common automation system via fieldbus connections, Ethernet protocols and system interfaces - regardless of manufacturer and device generation.
This allows data from existing systems using conventional PLCs to be published directly into MindSphere.
ibaPDA
As the central core of the iba system, ibaPDA has proven itself as one of the most versatile data acquisition systems for maintenance and production for many years. Among the many powerful features of ibaPDA are asset-agnostic acquisition, high-speed synchronous archiving, and real-time streaming analytics.
