Safety controller suits Category 4 applications
Siemens has a powerful new fail-safe CPU for its Simatic-S7 300 controllers, suitable for use in safety-critical applications conforming to Categories 1 to 4 (EN 954-1) or SIL 1 to 3 (IEC 61508)
The increase in control provided by Simocode Pro V can be seen across a variety of industry sectors with benefits including a reduction in panel length by up to 30% leading to savings in civil costs and installation time.
However, to broaden the sector appeal of this product, Siemens Automation and Drives division have added several innovative features for the Simocode Pro V.
New products in the range include a multi line operator LCD panel which not only allows the user to see motor operating data but also for maintenance personnel to see fault data and I/O status - all of which can be accessed without the need to use a PC.
The inclusion of new calculation function blocks allow analogue values to be altered into real engineering terms (such as flow) that are easily understood.
Customers can obtain power readings from each individual motor through the kWh (KiloWatt Hour) monitoring provided by the Simocode Pro V.
Consequently energy costs can be attributed to specific areas within a plant and power usage data is made directly available from the device without the need for conversion in the PLC.
The development of Simocode ES Graphic, for use within the Pro V range, provides an on-line graphic display function of signal flow within the programme.
Available as an add-on for Simocode ES Smart or Professional, this feature provides extreme benefit within any sector, increasing efficiency and understanding within the fault finding process, even in complex systems.
