Description of functions of control stations

Control stations - overview
Control stations are places from which control commands are issued to the motor. The
"Control Stations" function block is used for administration, switching and prioritization of
these different control stations. SIMOCODE pro allows parallel administration of up to four
different control stations. Dependent on the set control function, up to five different control
commands can be transmitted from every control station to SIMOCODE pro.
Control stations can be:
● Local in the direct vicinity of the motor; control commands via pushbuttons.
● PLC/PCS or PLC/PCS [PN], switching commands are issued by the automation system
(remote).
● PC or PC/OPC UA [HMI], control commands are issued via an operator control station or
via PROFIBUS DPV, OPC UA or PROFINET with the SIMOCODE ES software.
● Operator panel, control commands are issued via the buttons of the operator panel in the
control cabinet door.
Examples of control commands:
● Motor ON (ON >), Motor OFF (OFF) for a direct starter
● Motor CCW (ON <), Motor OFF (OFF), Motor CW (ON >) for a reversing starter
● Motor SLOW (ON >), Motor FAST (ON >>), Motor OFF (OFF) for a Dahlander circuit.
The plugs of the "Control Stations" function block must be connected to any sockets (e.g.
binary inputs on the basic unit, control bits from the bus, etc.) for the control commands to
take effect. Up to five different control commands can come from each control station. Up to
five plugs (plug ON <<, ON <, OFF, ON >, ON >>) are available on the function block for
each control station. The number of active plugs depends on the control function selected.
With a direct starter, for example, only the plugs "ON >" and "OFF" are active.
