May 11, 2011 - Siemens introducers Simocode pro Safety to provide comprehensive protection, control and communication with motor circuits and process automation, and to ensure the safe switch off of motors, fans, pumps, compressors or similar applications..
The safety-oriented use of components is becoming increasingly important in process automation due to situations in which man and the environment need to be protected by the safe shutdown of the machine or plant at any time. As new regulations in safety technology are required, Siemens new fail-safe expansion modules for Simocode pro V - DM-F Local and DM-F PROFIsafe, safety now becomes an integrated part of a plant's motor management system.
Man and machine are protected by the combination of various multistage protection and monitoring functions in Simocode pro and by the safe switching off of the device. New standards set in the implementation of this trend. The requirements of the IEC 61508/62061 and ISO 13849-1 standards for functional safety up to SIL 3 or PL e are satisfied. Hardware and wiring expenses are reduced, and additional outputs or peripheral devices can be omitted.
Depending on the specific requirement, two different expansion modules are available and they can be easily connected to the basic Simocode pro V device. The digital module DM-F PROFIsafe is used with a safe signal where the switch-off is generated in a fail-safe controller, and is transmitted to the motor management system via the PROFIBUS/PROFIsafe.
For local safety applications in which the fail-safe switch-off of the motor takes place via an emergency stop, a DM-F Local module is available.
Thanks to the integrated diagnostic function, the user is provided with meaningful data outlining the status of the safety system. Simocode pro V feature numerous expansion possibilities, including operator panels with/without display, current and voltage measuring modules, digital modules, analog module, ground-fault module and temperature module.
