Glossary
Basic unit (BU)
The basic units are the fundamental components of the SIMOCODE pro system. Basic units
are always necessary when using SIMOCODE pro.
Versions:
● SIMOCODE pro C basic unit: Basic component of the SIMOCODE pro C device series for
PROFIBUS DP. It contains the essential motor control and motor protection functions.
● Basic unit pro S: Basic component of the SIMOCODE pro S device series for
PROFIBUS DP. It is used in combination with a current measuring module and an
optional operator panel.
● SIMOCODE pro V PN GP basic unit: Basic component for PROFINET. It is used in
combination with a current measuring module and an optional operator panel.
● SIMOCODE pro V PB basic unit: Basic component of the SIMOCODE pro V device
series for PROFIBUS DP. It contains all functions and requirements regarding motor
protection, motor control, diagnostics, and monitoring.
● SIMOCODE pro V basic unit Modbus RTU: Basic component of the
SIMOCODE pro V Modbus RTU device series for Modbus RTU. It contains all functions
and requirements regarding motor protection, motor control, diagnostics, and monitoring.
● SIMOCODE pro V PN basic unit: Basic component of the SIMOCODE pro V PN device
series for PROFINET. It contains all functions and requirements regarding motor
protection, motor control, diagnostics, and monitoring.
● SIMOCODE pro V EtherNet/IP basic unit: Basic component of the
SIMOCODE pro V EherNet/IP device series. It contains all functions and requirements
regarding motor protection, motor control, diagnostics, and monitoring.
Baud rate
The baud rate is the speed at which data is transferred and indicates the number of
transmitted bits per second (baud rate = bit rate). For example, with PROFIBUS DP, baud
rates between 9.6 kbaud and 12 Mbaud are possible.
Bus
A common transmission path with which all stations are connected. It has two defined ends.
With PROFIBUS, the bus is a two-wire cable (copper cable) or a fiber optic cable.
Bus segment
PROFIBUS DP consists of at least one bus segment. A bus segment has at least two
stations, one of which must be a DP master. A maximum of 32 stations can be connected to
a bus segment.
Cascading input
Safe, 1-channel input of a safety relay, e.g. DM-F LOCAL and DM-F PROFIsafe. Internally,
this input is evaluated like a sensor signal. If no voltage is present, the safety relay trips the
enabling circuits (outputs) in a safety-related way.
