Faceplates for motor control and measured value display in APL design

The SIMOCODE pro block library for SIMATIC PCS 7 enables the SIMOCODE pro motor management system to be easily and conveniently integrated in the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system. The number of configuration steps is thus reduced significantly.

Depending on the design of the library, signal processing and technological functions of the blocks are matched to the PCS 7 Standard Library (driver blocks, technological blocks) or the PCS 7 Advanced Process Library (APL) and are optimally tailored to the functions of the motor management system.

Users who previously configured motor feeder circuits using conventional technology by means of signal blocks and motor or valve blocks can now easily switch to the SIMOCODE pro library for SIMATIC PCS 7.

Using the library blocks, SIMOCODE pro can also be integrated into the asset management of the SIMATIC PCS 7 Maintenance Station. This does not involve any extra configuration effort.

The library comprises:

• Blocks for the automation system (AS)
  • Driver blocks
  • SIMOCODE-specific blocks
  • Measured-value and statistics block
  • Time stamp block / log block
• Elements (symbols and faceplates) for operation and monitoring using an operator station (OS)

Note:

The various versions of the block library SIMOCODE pro for SIMATIC PCS 7 can be used in SIMATIC PCS 7 V7.1, V8.0, V8.1 and V8.2 as follows:

• SIMOCODE pro V8 in SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.0, V8.1 and V8.2 with PCS 7 Advanced Process Library (APL)
• SIMOCODE pro V7 in SIMATIC PCS 7 V7.0 and V7.1 with PCS 7 Standard Library
• SIMOCODE pro Migration V7-V8 for upgrading the SIMOCODE pro V7 block library for use in SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.0, V8.1 and V8.2, based on the PCS 7 Standard Library
