More flexibility and efficiency

With the new version 8.9 of ibaPDA, measurement data can be recorded and processed even more flexibly and efficiently. The main innovations are the support of non-equidistant data, the extended text creation module and the revised unit system.

With the support of non-equidistant data, time-based data with unequal intervals can also be stored and analyzed in combination with ibaHD Server from this version. This data can be generated either by modules with external time stamps, such as IEC 61850, or by a special data storage profile that samples signals via a trigger signal. The data is then stored in the HD memory at different aggregation levels, which means that both raw data and condensed information can be accessed at any time.

With the extended text creation module, user-defined data structures can be defined and converted directly into XML or JSON formats. The configuration is carried out intuitively by dragging and dropping the corresponding signals, and the structures can then be used flexibly, for example for communication via http(s) interfaces.

Switch units online when visualizing measurement data

Another innovation is the revised unit system. This makes it easy to switch the units of the recorded data online and thus display them in a different unit system. The signals remain stored in their original unit, while the visualization is adjusted online accordingly - for example from the metric to the imperial system. The scaling of the unit system works for both ibaPDA and ibaHD data. This not only facilitates collaboration across national borders, but also enables the operator to visualize the data alternatively in two unit systems.

With version 8.9, ibaPDA is thus strengthening its role as a reliable tool for industrial data analysis. The innovations create more options and make even complex data structures easier to understand.
