Applications and advantages of compartment identification

The compartment identification described in this chapter is mainly used in application in
which SIMOCODE pro is used in a withdrawable motor control center (MCC).
In withdrawable motor control centers, all components belonging to the motor feeder are
grouped together as one unit in a switchboard-specific enclosure. In this way, a complete
withdrawable module can be replaced very quickly and without isolating the MCC if a
component is defective.
This principle is very often used in the various branches of the process industry. That is why
a SIMOCODE pro with such a design is used in very many of its applications.
With the compartment identification mechanism, programming a SIMOCODE pro S/pro V
device when a withdrawable module is replaced is completely automated.
The initialization module (3UF7 902-0AA00-0) permanently installed in the switchboard
contains a copy of the SIMOCODE device parameters and the device addressing, which are
taken over completely automatically by the new SIMOCODE pro device after replacement of
the withdrawable module.
No special knowledge of SIMOCODE is necessary any longer to replace withdrawable
modules and at the same time the risk of incorrect parameterization in the SIMOCODE
device is reduced.
