Introduction
5.1
Application
The ibaFOB-SDexp PC card couples the iba Process Data Acquisition system ibaPDA
with the Siemens control system SIMADYN D (SD). Therefore, the ibaFOB-SDexp must
be connected to one of the free fiber optic links of the SIMADYN D CS12, CS13 or CS14.
The boards only differ in the amount of links supported by the cards (1, 4 or 8). If in the
following text the CS14 is referred to the meaning is valid for CS12 and CS13 too.
The slaves are connected via their CS22 cards to the master rack. The CS14 is the
coupling partner in the master rack. Via the communication memory of the CS14 the
slaves may communicate with the master and other slaves. The ibaPDA PC with an
ibaFOB-SDexp card acts like a slave rack in the SIMADYN D system, the ibaFOB-SDexp
card acts like a CS22.
This topology enables the ibaFOB-SDexp to communicate in theory with every processor
in one of the connected racks (max. 7) or the master rack. This would be up to 64 CPUs.

Example of configuration with ibaPDA
By means of the Siemens interface board CP53M0 the ibaFOB-SDexp card can be con-
nected with the SIMATIC TDC control system. The board is available in SIMATIC TDC
(D7-SYS V7.1 or higher) and can be configured as master or slave. In master mode one
port can be used for connection to ibaPDA with an ibaFOB-SDexp card. The other port
provides for connection to a slave rack. The slave rack can be either SIMADYN D with
CS22 board or SIMATIC TDC with CP53 board (slave mode).
