| SIMOCODE pro is a
flexible, modular motor management system for motors with constant
speeds. It optimizes the connection between the control system
and the motor starter, increases plant availability and allows
significant savings to be made for startup, operation and maintenance
of a system. When SIMOCODE pro is installed in a low-voltage
control cabinet, it is the intelligent interface between the
higher level automation system and the motor starter and includes
the following:
- Multifunctional, solid state full motor protection which
is independent of the automation system
- Flexible software instead of hardware for the motor control
- Detailed operational, service and diagnostics data
- Open communication via PROFIBUS-DP
The advantages at a glance
- Integrating the motor starter into the process control
system via a bus significantly reduces the
wiring outlay between the motor starter and the PLC
- Distribution of the automated processes by means of configurable
control and monitoring functions in the starter saves resources
in the automation system and ensures full functionality and
protection of the starter even if the control system or bus
system fails
- The acquisition and monitoring of operational, service and
diagnostics data in the starter and process control system increases
system availability as well as maintenance and service friendliness
- The high degree of modularity allows users to perfectly implement
their plant specific requirements for each motor starter
-The replacement of the control circuit hardware with software
decreases the number of hardware components and wiring required
limiting the potential for wiring errors
- The use of solid state full motor protection permits better
utilization of the motors and ensures long term stability of
the tripping characteristic and reliable tripping even after
years of service |
