The TDC Request data interface is based on the ibaFOB-TDC and ibaFOB-TDCexp component. The purchase of an additional license for this extension is required. With this interface, you can easily access all signals of the TDC stations connected to the GDM.

The use of this interface must be enabled in the dongle and an ibaFOB-TDC or ibaFOB-TDCexp card must be inserted into the ibaPDA computer.

The only connection required is a fiber optic link between ibaPDA and the GDM of SIMATIC TDC.

The following modules can be used in ibaPDA with the TDC Request interface:

• TDC Request

  • Access on all data of all TDC stations connected with the GDM, per request

  • max. 1024 modules per interface

  • max. 1000 analog + 1000 digital signals per module

  • Convenient signal selection via signal browser (address book)

  • Convenient signal selection using drag & drop from the SIMATIC Manager (CFC) to ibaPDA. (The ibaPDA client must be installed on the same PC as the SIMATIC Manager.)

The number of signals to be used is only limited by the ibaPDA license and the performance of the systems.

Note
	All of the items described here also apply to Simadyn Request (CFC programming required).

	A detailed description of this interface and its configuration can be found in the corresponding manual ibaPDA-Request-SD-TDC.
