SIMOCODE - Smart Motor Management System

SIMOCODE motor management improves safety, transparency and efficiency with intelligent protection, diagnostics and control.

• SIMOCODE pro S: The basic model, ideal for entry-level motor management
• SIMOCODE pro V: Provides even more versatility and functional scope
• SIMOCODE M-CP: Compact device for withdrawable units
• Space-saving in withdrawable units​ : The compact device easily fits into the withdrawable unit while maintaining replaceability and expandability. The perfect symbiosis of SIMOCODE M-CP and the switchboard enables a space-saving design and a high packing density in the switchboard. This is ensured not only by the compact design, but also by the choice between front-panel or DIN-rail mounting.​
• Future-proof bus physics : Fast, space-saving and cost-effective: SIMOCODE M-CP relies on the bus physics of the future with communication via innovative Single Pair Ethernet (SPE). With a connection system optimized to meet the requirements of a withdrawable design. Cost-effective thanks to reduced wiring using thin, flexible, two-wire cables and conventional control connectors in the withdrawable MCC and end-to-end Ethernet communication from the controller to the smart devices in the withdrawable unit.
• Customizable functionality​ : Additional device functions can be activated in future by purchasing licenses that are transferred to the device. Ideal for adapting the performance range of the devices to different areas of application and changing requirements. Even after installation. As a switchboard manufacturer or end user, you benefit from low device variance, needs-based functions and maximum flexibility with SIMOCODE M-CP.​
• SIMOCODE ES based on the TIA Portal : With SIMOCODE ES, you benefit from numerous advantages, including convenient parameterization in the device view, graphical commissioning via drag and drop, and online representation of signal states using straightforward measuring curves for diagnostic purposes.
• SIMOCODE in STEP 7 integriert : Configuration and commissioning of SIMOCODE pro can also be realized in the TIA Portal without additional software. As device configuration forms part of STEP 7, each individually created configuration is loaded into the PLC and automatically transferred to the SIMOCODE pro devices connected via PROFIBUS/PROFINET.
• SIMOCODE pro in SIMATIC PCS 7 and SIMATIC PDM : The PCS 7 SIMOCODE library enables simple and easy integration of SIMOCODE pro into the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system. The PCS 7 library contains standardized motor blocks and faceplates for controlling or operating and monitoring the motor. For the plant-wide device parameter setting and diagnostics, SIMOCODE pro is also integrated into SIMATIC PDM (Process Device Manager). This means that a standard, unified tool is embedded in the process control system for intelligent field devices such as SIMOCODE pro.

For more than 30 years, SIMOCODE has been controlling and monitoring low-voltage, constant-speed motors all over the world. Wherever motors keep things running in the process industry,

Benefit from increased transparency that allows you to have a real-time overview of how your systems are running. SIMOCODE offers versatility and reliability and helps you adapt to new challenges. With SIMOCODE, you’ll achieve more efficient, safe and forward-looking motor management.

Choose from multiple models in the SIMOCODE portfolio:

SIMOCODE monitors, protects and controls constant-speed motors and enables predictive maintenance. It does not wait for a problem to occur before shutting down the motor, establishing transparency in advance.

SIMOCODE delivers detailed operating, service and diagnostic data from the entire process. The engineering is simple, as is the integration into process control systems. It implements simple and economical motor management.

By monitoring all electrical variables, SIMOCODE can detect irregularities in operating behavior early. It provides comprehensive, all-round motor protection combined with integrated thermistor motor protection.

System redundancy enables communication with redundant control systems and offers maximum system availability. Media redundancy makes it possible to implement ring topologies to maintain communication via a second port.

Thanks to open protocols such as OPC UA, SIMOCODE data can be used directly for cloud/edge applications or for visualizations.

The compact design saves space in the motor feeder and switchgear.​ Multiple expansion options allow you to scale every application.​ An initialization module enables automatic parameterization when replacing the device.

Access simple preliminary electrical pre-engineering with Control Panel Design in the TIA Selection Tool. SIMOCODE features automatic short-circuit calculation, conductor dimensioning and standards-compliant documentation. It requires less planning effort thanks to the availability of CAx data.

SIMOCODE pro S motor management system facilitates entry level motor management. Our flexible, cost-optimized solution comprising a basic unit and an optional expansion module ranks below SIMOCODE pro V, but still provides connection to PROFIBUS.

SIMOCODE pro V provides even more versatility: You benefit from communication via PROFINET and comprehensive functionality in a compact design with monostable relay outputs. Here is what the powerful SIMOCODE pro V PN GP package has to offer: simple control, monitoring, and protection functions on the basic unit, with modules for temperature and ground-fault monitoring as well as for current acquisition.

The intelligent, variable SIMOCODE pro V system offers even more functional scope. With the basic unit and a maximum of five expansion modules, you profit from even more highlights such as voltage and active power measuring, fail-safe disconnection and a host of communication interfaces such as PROFIBUS/PROFINET/OPC UA/Modbus or Ethernet/IP.

Compact, powerful and innovative, SIMOCODE M-CP has been optimized for use in the motor control center, for example in the SIVACON S8plus, and combines a wide range of innovations in the smallest of spaces.

SIMOCODE ES is the central software for project planning, commissioning, operation and diagnostics of SIMOCODE devices. This software is based on the central engineering framework Totally Integrated Automation Portal (TIA Portal) and enables a consistent, efficient and intuitive solution for all automation tasks.

To provide maximum transparency, the Siemens EcoTech Profile (SEP) gives insight about the product performance in environmentally relevant criteria as well as about interpretation and comparison of data against an existing norm, standard or predecessor product.
