The integration of process signals facilitates the use of any ibaPDA signal, which is acquired by CM devices such as ibaDAQ or ibaM-DAQ via the available ibaPDA interfaces in ibaCMC.

These signals can be used in ibaCMC for purposes as follows:

• Recording in snapshots

• Acting as trigger signals for snapshots

• Serving as a speed signal for component monitoring and order resampling

• Acting as a filter signal for trend filters

• Trending and monitoring of statistical indicators, such as average, minimum, maximum and standard deviation

Special modules have to be configured in ibaCMC to use the process signals, automatically creating a corresponding virtual module in ibaPDA for each.

Only analog and digital signals are permitted. Digital signals are automatically converted in analog values 0/1. Text signals are not permitted.

To use the process signals, the following steps are required:

1. Add a process signal module.

2. Add process signals to this module.

3. Configure process signals in ibaCMC.

These are the topics:

• Add a process signal module

• Add process signals to a module

• Configure process signals
