Siemens SIMOCODE M-CP motor management system

Siemens has launched SIMOCODE M-CP motor management system designed for motor control centres (MCCs). The latest series complements the existing SIMOCODE range and introduces a more compact design, more advanced functionality, and compatibility with Ethernet-based communication. In the future, SIMOCODE M-CP will be adaptable to different operational requirements by purchasing licenses that enable additional functions depending on the application.

Motor control centres are designed to efficiently distribute power to motors, enable precise control and monitoring, and offer protection against overloads, short circuits, and other electrical faults.

The SIMOCODE M-CP is optimised for withdrawable units in switchboards. With the ability to choose between front panel mounting and mounting on a DIN rail, the device allows for optimising space and reducing installation expense, while more integrated functions in the basic unit result in less variance. Six digital inputs and four relay outputs eliminate the need for additional modules.

SIMOCODE M-CP uses single-pair Ethernet (SPE) technology to provide uninterrupted Ethernet communication and fulfil the needs of switchboard operations, while reducing wiring complexity with its thin, two-core cables.

With its diagnostic functions, SIMOCODE M-CP can provide early warnings in the event of irregularities. Long-term firmware updates also allow SIMOCODE M-CP to remain functional and up to date.
