SIMOCODE pro

GWA 4NEB 631 6050-22 DS 03

The addressing plug is necessary to enable the hardware-

based allocation of the PROFIBUS DP address to a basic unit

without a PC/PD.

The analog module offers the option of extending BU2 by

adding optional analog inputs and outputs (0/4 mA - 20 mA).

This makes it possible to measure and monitor any arbitrary

process variables which can be mapped onto a 0/4 mA to 20

mA signal. The automation system has free access to the

measured process variables.

This is abbreviated from the French "Atmosphère explosible"

(explosive atmospheres).

ATEX is used as a synonym for both EC directives on

explosion protection, specifically the ATEX equipment

directive 94/9/EC and the ATEX workplace directive 1999/92/

The basic units are the fundamental components of the

SIMOCODE pro system. Basic units are always necessary

when using SIMOCODE pro. They have the same enclosure

width of 45 mm and are equipped with removable terminals.

Basic unit 1 is the fundamental component of the

SIMOCODE pro C device series. It contains the important

motor control functions and motor protection functions.

Basic unit 2 is the fundamental component of the

SIMOCODE pro V device series. It contains all functions and

fulfills all requirements for motor protection, motor control,

diagnostics and monitoring.
