12.3.1 Information about the system interfaces
Information about the system interfaces
● SIMOCODE pro system components are connected to each other via the system
interfaces. The system interfaces are provided on the front and bottom of the devices.
● Connecting cables of different lengths are available for connecting the system
components.
● The PC cables, addressing plugs, and memory modules can be plugged directly into the
system interface.
● The system is always configured according to the basic unit. Basic units have two system
interfaces:
– Bottom/left: For outgoing connecting cable to the current or current / voltage
measuring module.
– Front side: For outgoing connecting cables leading to an expansion module or
operator panel, or for PC cables, memory modules or addressing plugs.
● Current measuring modules and current / voltage measuring modules have one system
interface:
– Bottom or front: For incoming connecting cable from the basic unit.
● Expansion modules have two interfaces on the front:
– Left: For incoming connecting cables from the upstream expansion module or
SIMOCODE pro S/SIMOCODE pro V basic unit.
– Right: For outgoing connecting cables leading to an expansion module or operator
panel, and for PC cables, memory modules or addressing plugs.
● Decoupling modules have 2 interfaces on the front:
– Left: For incoming connecting cable from the upstream expansion module or basic
unit.
– Right: Exclusively for the outgoing connecting cable to the current / voltage measuring
module.
● Operator panels have two system interfaces:
– Front side: For PC cables, memory modules and addressing plugs.
– Rear side: For incoming connecting cable from the upstream expansion module or
basic unit.
