3.1 General Information
The connection tool is a piece of software designed to interface ibaPDA with up to 4
Sinamics Perfect Harmony drives through UDP generic protocols.
This manual only describes the usage of this tool to link with both ibaPDA and a
Sinamics Perfect Harmony drive.
References
Reference to additional documentation or further literature.
ibaPDA-V6 manual (http://www.iba-oceania.com/) ibaPDA-Interface-Generic-UDP manual (http://www.ibaoceania.com/)
The Sinamics Perfect Harmony Connection Tool can be used by any computer with
ibaPDA UDP Generic license and networked to a Sinamics Perfect Harmony drive
compatible with the NXG Debug Tool.
The tool can connect and pool data from up to four Sinamics Perfect Harmony drives.
This data is wrapped up in a UDP packet compatible with ibaPDA and sent directly to
the interface through a loop back IP address and does not leave the host computer.
The UDP messages are IP Unicast messages sent to user specified ports that must be
reserved by ibaPDA generic interface.
Following drawing gives an overview of a possible configuration where 4 drives are
connected and transmitting UDP messages to 1 ibaPDA system through the
Connection Tool
Each UDP connection is uniquely identified within the connection tool by the ibaPDA
port number, drive IP address and drive name.

Interface-SiMVD Connection Tool specific limitations
The maximum amount of connected drives at one time is four.
The drives must be compatible with NXG Debug Tool
Host computer must have both the Connection Tool and ibaPDA installed and
additionally must be networked to the drives.
The Generic UDP ports specified in the tool must be unused in ibaPDA (default
5010 – 5020 for UPD Generic) prior to configuring ibaPDA with the tool.
3.2 System Topologies
The connections to the drives can be established via the computer's standard Ethernet
ports.
Note
It is recommended carrying out the communication on a separate network segment to
exclude a mutual influence by other network components.
3.3 Installation and Startup
If there is a previous version of ibaSiMVD please uninstall it by means of the Windows
control panel software control.
If you have a zip-file of the new ibaSiMVD version available, e. g. after a download,
unpack it into a (temporary) folder of your choice.
1. Run SiMVBSetup.MSI which will install both the ibaSiMVD service and the
ibaSiMVD interface. e. g. by double-click on the filename in the Windows
Explorer. Follow the instructions of the installation wizard.
2. At the end of the installation both the service and the interface will be installed
AND running.
Important note
While installing a windows warning will pop-up asking for administrative permissions
with an unknown publisher listed. This is a standard pop-up and administrative
permissions must be given in order to install ibaSiMVD.
3.4 Configuration and Engineering ibaSiMVD
To add a Sinamics Perfect Harmony drive, the following must be entered into one of the
drive list rows;
1. enter a drive name,
2. the drives IP address,
3. desired UDP port into the tool
Interface-SiMVD Manual

4. click the associated
Note
The drives must be on the same network and subnet as the ibaPDA server hosting the
configuration.
An example of this step is indicated in the screenshot below.
Once the drive is added the row will change colour and prevent further editing of the
data entry fields.
A gray row indicates that the drive currently is not connected while a green row
indicates that a connection is established to the drive and the data streams are
available to ibaPDA. The associated
If the row is yellow, and is listed as unrecognized, this indicates the drive listed is
incompatible with ibaSiMVD, see Section 4.3.3 for more detail.
Each additional drive must be given a unique name, IP address and UDP Port.
The
including its information in the Drive List and change back to an
for a new drive to be added.
At the top of the interface is a menu, its functions are covered in section 3.6.
Manual Interface-SiMVD
3.5 Configuration and Engineering ibaPDA
To build a custom ibaPDA I/O configuration file click the
ibaSiMVD interface. This will open a new dialog where you can select which of the
current drives to include into the configuration. Clicking
configuration in a text file that is populated with the selected drives.
Important note
When adding new modules to ibaPDA it is possible to add the same drive twice. This
could happen when generating and importing an already imported drive.
Ensure that the drives selected when generating an import file do not already have a
module listed in ibaPDA or remove the modules in ibaPDA already associated with the
drive before importing.
Within ibaPDA navigate to the I/O Manager and click import configuration from text file
and navigate to the configuration text file generated from the ibaSiMVD connection tool
to import.
If other modules are already installed a popup might inform you that the module
number imported is used. Select the option that suggests the next free module number.
These can always be changed later.

Note
The source IP address column will always display 127.0.0.1 and will not display the
drive IP address. It is important to know which ibaPDA port is assigned to each
Sinamics Perfect Harmony drive by looking at the respective Drive name / port in the
ibaSiMVD Connection Tool.
3.6 User Interface
The ibaSiMVD connection tool has the ability to save the current configuration of drives
to a file. This feature is accessed through

firmware, licensed dongle number and version numbers. Additionally there is a information for iba support… > menu option which will prompt you for a directory to place a zipped diagnostic report. Lastly selecting support will display a page of contact information. 12 Issue 1.1 Interface-SiMVD Manual 4 Diagnostics 4.1 License Check Each copy of ibaSiMVD is licensed and linked to a unique iba dongle, for this reason the correct iba dongle must be inserted into the machine in order for the services to operate properly. The dongle number of the dongle licensed for a particular copy of ibaSiMVD can be found in the about screen of the ibaSiMVD interface. 4.2 Log Files ibaSiMVD keeps a log of all drives connected to the service and user interactions with the service including: Addition of drives. Removal of drives. Starting and stopping of interface application. Any miscellaneous errors such as a dropped connection. The log is available through the interface under available within windows event viewer. To collect information into a diagnostic report including information from the logs and ibaSiMVD application for support and debugging select the menu option information for iba support…> under file to the selected directory. 4.3 Connection Issues 4.3.1 Drive will not connect to the Sinamics Perfect Harmony Connection tool. Check that the drive can be accessed using the default NXG debug tool on the same computer as the connection tool. If the connection is not possible with the NXG debug tool check the drive is properly setup on the same network as the computer. This can be checked by simply trying to ping the IP associated with the drive through command prompt. 4.3.2 Module connections are not active (Green) in ibaPDA with active connections listed in the Interface. Check the UDP generic port range covers the desired UDP ports. The port range can be found under Manager. Ensure that the destination UDP ports listed in the ibaSiMVD interface match up with the ports within ibaPDA. The UDP port is listed as destination port under the general tab when the module is selected in ibaPDA I/O Manager. One solution is to remove all the associated modules by right clicking them, in the I/O manager, and selecting as per section 3.5 to add the modules back with the correct ports. Additionally add the above ports as exceptions in Windows Firewall settings. Issue 1.1 13 Manual Interface-SiMVD 14 Issue 1.1 4.3.3 Drive has a yellow row in ibaSiMVD and is listed as unrecognized. This indicates that the current drive is using an unsupported firmware version and will not be useable with the current version of ibaSiMVD. Create a support zip file by finding the menu strip. Send the created .zip to iba-Oceania support to indicate that you have compatibility issues with ibaSiMVD. The support files will accelerate the ibaSiMVD compatibility development process for your unsupported drive. Tip To add a port to the exceptions list : 1. Open Windows Firewall. 2. Click the Exceptions tab, and then click Add Port. 3. In Name, type a name for the port exception. This name will appear in the exceptions list. 4. In Port Number, type the number of the port that you want to add to the exceptions list. 5. Click UDP and then click OK.
