About this manual 

This manual is a supplement to the „ibaBM-DPM-S Profibus Sniffer“ manual and describes the use and the operation of ibaBM-DPM-S in simulation and mirror mode. 

1.1 Target group 

This manual addresses in particular the qualified professionals who are familiar with 

handling electrical and electronic modules as well as communication and measurement 

technology. A person is regarded to as professional if he/she is capable of assessing 

safety and recognizing possible consequences and risks on the basis of his/her specialist training, knowledge and experience and knowledge of the standard regulations.

Introduction 

Note 

The following description gives information about the operation of ibaBM-DPM-S in 

simulation and mirror mode. 

The basic handling of ibaBM-DPM-S should be known. 

Other documentation 

For the precise description of the handling of ibaBM-DPM-S please observe the 

ibaBM-DPM-S manual. 

Simulation mode 

The simulation mode is designed to test the software and the configuration of a DP 

master station, although the Profibus environment is physically not available. 

When working in simulation mode ibaBM-DPM-S is able to simulate slaves, which can 

be addressed by the master, but which are not present at the bus. Any master station 

(e. g. Simatic S7, ibaLogic with SST card) can be used as master, when it is accordingly configured. The corresponding I/O data of the simulated slaves can be generated 

by a simulation program (e. g. ibaLogic). 

Mirror mode 

The mirror mode is helpful during migration to a new control system (soft revamp). A 

new DP master system can be tested in parallel to a running master system, which is 

still in use. 

As sniffer ibaBM-DPM-S reads all data of the slaves connected at Profibus interface 1. 

The data of the slaves are mirrored to the Profibus interface 2, where the second (new) 

master is connected. All data is available for the second master, just as if it would be 

the master of the Profibus line. ibaPDA can record the data of both systems, and the 

user can compare both systems. 

Supplementary licenses are needed for the use of simulation and mirror mode. The 

simulation mode licenses are scaled according to the number of simulated slaves. 

Please contact the iba support. 

Simulation mode 

3.1 Requirements 

 ibaBM-DPM-S firmware beginning with version B7. 

 Simulation mode license. The license can be purchased later on and activated via 

the ibaBM-DPM-S Web interface. 

Order number simulation mode license: 13.321010 

 Simulation PC with TCP/IP connection to ibaBM-DPM-S and any Internet browser 

e. g. Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox. 

3.2 Simulation mode configuration 

All necessary settings are to be done in the ibaBM-DPM-S Web interface, which requires a PC with a TCP/IP connection to ibaBM-DPM-S. 

Other documentation 

How to connect the PC and the device, please observe the "ibaBM-DPM-S" manual. 

Tip 

Basically the USB interface can also be used for simulation. But iba highly recommends 

the TCP/IP connection via Ethernet in order to minimize the reaction times of the slaves.

After having opened the website, the modes available on the device are displayed on 

the “Info” page. 

When simulation mode is not available, it has to be activated. You will receive the necessary license key by E-Mail after purchasing at iba.

Enter the license key: 

1. Login as user „admin“ on the „Admin“ page. 

2. Enter the license key under „Activate simulation, mirror or redundancy mode“ in the
