SIMOCODE pro is a flexible, modular motor management system for motors with constant speeds in the low-voltage performance range. It optimizes the connection between I&C and motor feeder, increases plant availability and allows significant savings to be made for startup, operation and maintenance of a system.

When SIMOCODE pro is installed in the low-voltage switchboard, it is the intelligent interface between the higher-level automation system and the motor feeder and includes the following:

• Multifunctional, solid-state full motor protection, which is independent of the automation system
• Integrated control functions instead of hardware for the motor control
• Detailed operational, service and diagnostic data
• Open communication via PROFIBUS DP, the standard for fieldbus systems
• Safety relay function for the failsafe disconnection of motors up to SIL 3 (IEC 61508/62061) or PL e with Category 4 (ISO 13849-1)
• SIMOCODE ES is the software package for SIMOCODE pro parameterization, start-up and diagnostics.

Two series

SIMOCODE pro is structured into two functionally tiered series:

• SIMOCODE pro C, as a compact system for direct-on-line starters and reversing starters or the actuation of a circuit breaker
• SIMOCODE pro V, as a variable system with all control functions and with the possibility of expanding the inputs, outputs and functions of the system at will using expansion modules

1) When an operator panel with display and/or a decoupling module is used, restrictions on the number of expansion modules connectable per basic unit must be observed (see further information).

2) The failsafe digital module can be used instead of one of the two digital modules.

Per feeder each system always comprises one basic unit and one separate current measuring module. The two modules are connected together electrically through the system interface with a connection cable and can be mounted mechanically connected as a unit (one behind the other) or separately (side by side). The motor current to be monitored is decisive only for the choice of current measuring module.

An operator panel for mounting in the control cabinet door is optionally connectable through a second system interface on the basic unit. Both the current measuring module and the operator panel are electrically supplied by the basic unit through the connection cable. More inputs, outputs and functions can be added to basic unit 2 (SIMOCODE pro V) by means of optional expansion modules, thus supplementing the inputs and outputs already existing on the basic unit. With the DM-F Local and DM-F PROFIsafe failsafe digital modules it is also possible to integrate the failsafe disconnection of motors in the SIMOCODE pro V motor management system.

All modules are connected by connection cables. The connection cables are available in various lengths. The maximum distance between the modules (e. g. between the basic unit and the current measuring module) must not exceed 2.5m. The total length of all the connection cables in a single system must not be more than 3 m.
