PLC Analysis
Application
Errors and failures in automated plants lead to production interruptions and products of poor quality. Thus, it is extremely important to find these errors quickly. For maintenance in case of a failure, it is essential to be able to access the measurement data as it provides information about how the failure occurred. Analysis of the acquired data allows the root cause of a failure to be identified and then eliminated quickly and in a targeted way.

To locate errors and failures, the plant behavior needs to be recorded continuously and thus made transparent.
ibaPDA provides a global view of the plant and also allows interactions between individual system components and multiple controls to be analyzed. An autonomous but permanently integrated acquisition system in the plant provides the required data immediately in the event of a failure. With ibaPDA you have a powerful tool at your disposal which allows flexible and mobile measurement and recording of signals from controllers. ibaAnalyzer includes a wide range of features for analyzing failures based on recorded measurement data. Signal trends, signal intervals, and delays are determined, allowing outliers and causal links to be identified immediately.
