1.11 Modules, interfaces, configuration options
For each feeder, every system comprises a basic unit and a separate current measuring
module. Both modules are connected to each other electronically via the system interface,
by means of a connecting cable, and can be installed together as a unit (behind one another)
or separately (side-by-side). An operator panel can also be connected optionally via the
second system interface on the basic unit, and installed in the switchgear cabinet door. The
current measuring module and the operator panel are connected to the basic unit via
connecting cables, which also supply the power. More inputs, outputs and functions can be
added to the SIMOCODE pro S, pro V PB, pro V MR, pro V EtherNet/IP and
pro V PN /pro V PN GP basic units by means of optional expansion modules, thus
supplementing the inputs and outputs already existing on the basic unit. All modules are
connected by connecting cables. The connecting cables are available with different lengths
(ribbon cable 0.025 m, 0.1 m, 0.15 m, 0.3 m, 0.5 m; round cable 0.5 m, 1.0 m, 2.5 m).
NOTICE
Maximum length of the connecting cable
The total length of all cables must not exceed 3 m on either of the system interfaces of the
basic unit!
NOTICE
The maximum distance between modules
The maximum distance between the modules (e. g. between the basic unit and the current
measuring module) must not exceed 2.5 m.
