Selection of SIMOCODE pro device configuration in SIMOCODE ES (TIA Portal)

SIMOCODE ES is the central software for configuration, startup, operation and diagnostics of SIMOCODE pro.

Version 14, which is based on the central engineering framework Totally Integrated Automation Portal (TIA Portal), is available in addition to SIMOCODE ES Version 2007.

SIMOCODE ES V14 is integrated seamlessly when further TIA Portal-based software such as STEP 7 or WinCC is available, thus enabling users to achieve a consistent, efficient and intuitive solution for all automation tasks.

However, use of SIMOCODE ES V14 as stand-alone software also provides these advantages.

Three program versions

The user can choose between three different versions of SIMOCODE ES: SIMOCODE ES Basic, SIMOCODE ES Standard and SIMOCODE ES Premium. While SIMOCODE ES Basic is a powerful tool for startup or maintenance personnel, SIMOCODE ES Standard and Premium are the perfect tools for engineers or configuration engineers on account of their larger scope of functions and integrated graphics editor. Unlike the Standard version, SIMOCODE ES Premium also permits parameterization and diagnostics through PROFIBUS/PROFINET. Indication of all operating, service and diagnostics data supplies important information about the current state of the motor and plant at all times – everywhere on PROFIBUS/PROFINET.

Working with libraries

Users can create copy templates for SIMOCODE pro device configuration and can manage them in global or project libraries. This way, individual modules, diagrams and complete device configurations can be saved as reusable elements for frequently occurring tasks.

Integrated graphics editor

The graphics editor is part of SIMOCODE ES Standard and SIMOCODE ES Premium. It is based on the Continuous Function Chart (CFC) and adds a powerful tool to the parameterizing interface that enables easy parameterization of devices by Drag&Drop. Extremely compact documentation of all configured parameters is possible, as is the graphic online presentation of the configured device functions including all signal states during operation.

Online functions for startup and diagnosis

To this end, SIMOCODE ES provides powerful functions for startup and diagnosis of motor feeders. Besides a detailed display of status information and the causes of faults, all available measurement and statistics data can be retrieved online. Access to the fault and event memory and also to analog values recorded in the device, e.g. current and voltage, is also possible.

Trend display of measured values

With this online function, SIMOCODE ES Standard or Premium can present the trends of different measured values. It is thus possible for example to record and evaluate the start-up characteristic of a motor or its behavior in different load conditions.

Additional functions

SIMOCODE ES V14 offers numerous advantages of the TIA Portal that can be used in an integrated working environment.

Seamless integration

When using other TIA Portal-based software such as STEP 7 or WinCC, for example, the configuration for devices and networks for all components used is created in a standardized environment.
