The 3UF5 SIMOCODE-DP System

There is less and less time in between ordering and the start-up of
a system however, the requirements made on motor feeders are
increasing. A system should, for
example, be compact, intelligent
and powerful. Every motor has
optimum protection, the scope of
wiring is as small as possible and
spares must not mean high storage
costs.
To meet all these requirements, the
system designer has to have extensive
knowledge of the complete range of
low-voltage switchgear. The new
communications-capable
SIMOCODE-DP 3UF50 Siemens
Motor Protection and Control Device Decentralised Peripherals makes life
easier for the system designer.

SIMOCODE-DP is a tried and

tested system
SIMOCODE 3UF10/20 devices have
been in use all over the world for more
than five years. They protect and
control motors for the chemical, oil and
gas industry. Motors with heavy
starting duty as used in paper, cement
and metal production for example are
no problem for SIMOCODE.
SIMOCODE also helps ensure that
high-availability systems such as coal,
gas and hydro electric plants run
around the clock. SIMOCODE provides
the communication between the
master level and the automation level
via the PROFIBUS-FMS /SINEC-L2bus.
The new SIMOCODE-DP 3UF50 with
integrated PROFIBUS-DP interface has
established itself worldwide in a short
time span. It protects and controls for
example Cement and Petrochemical

Supervisory level

industries in Malaysia; Paper,

Chemical, Textile, Steel, Gas and
Waterwork plants in Europe; Chemical
plants in South Africa; Food and
Consumergoods industries in South
America and like the Steel industry in
North America will soon be installed in
a Steel plant in Australia.
The new SIMOCODE-DP 3UF50 is
based on the tried and tested
SIMOCODE 3UF10/20. In addition to
the existing control functions, such as
direct-, reversing-, star-delta starters,
there is now the possibilty to
implement user-specific controls by
using the freely assignable inputs and
outputs and the built-in truth tables,
timers and counters.
The existing motor protection
functions (overload, phase failure and
current imbalance detection) have
been supplemented by thermistor
motor protection and earth-fault
monitoring.

Thermistor-Type Motor Protection

Without Compromise

Earth fault monitoring

always available
This protective function is also offered
by the SIMOCODE-DP communications-capable motor protection and
control device. The internal earth fault
detection can be activated in addition
to the thermistor evaluation.

Reduction of variants by large

setting ranges: 0.25 A 820 A
A current window from 0.25 A to
820 A is covered using only six units.
This reduces product selection and
saves on spares costs.

Tripping characteristics for 3-pole load

Protection of motors in the EExe range

The SIMOCODE-DP system complies
to the regulations for overload
protection of explosion-protected
motors of the increased safety type
EExe DIN EN 50019/ DIN VDE0165,
DIN VDE 0170/0171 and to the test
regulations of the Federal Institute for
Physics and Technology and the test
requirements of the Federal Institute
for Physics and Technology No. 3.5314605/96.

Easy through feed connection

Feeder cables up to 100 A rating can be
easily connected to the 3UF50. The
cables are not terminated to the device,
but are fed through 3 integral conduits
in the device housing
a major saving in installation time.

min

For motors with a thermally critical

rotor, e.g. slipring and squirrel-cage
motors with increased power, the combination of thermistor-type motor protection and electronically delayed overload
relay offers full thermal protection
thermistor-type motor protection.

Resettable everywhere manual,

remote and automatic reset
A reset at the device is implemented
with the Test/Reset button. By connecting a pushbutton to the inputs, via
PROFIBUS-DP or via the Test/Reset
button at the operating module, a
remote reset can be implemented. An
automatic reset can also be
configured.

Cost reduction by built-in current

transformers
Current detection is archieved via three
current transformers which are
integrated in the device. This means that
savings are made three ways i.e.
space, wiring and additional device
requirements.

Tripping time

Apart from binary thermistor detectors,

SIMOCODE-DP also evaluates
analogous (KTY) thermistor detectors.
KTY detectors incorporate a resistance
curve which rises linearly with the
temperature. Therefore, a warning and
a tripping threshold can be set in the
SIMOCODE-DP.
A considerable advantage.

Protection against stalled rotors

Protection against the stalling of
motors during normal operation is
achieved by a comparison of a settable
current limit.

Tolerance < 10%

With a tolerance of less than 10%,
SIMOCODE-DP has an accurate
tripping curve which guarantees an
optimum utilisation of motors.
Long-term stability also contributes to
the high degree of accuracy.

Built-in thermistor motor protection

Thermistor motor protection is used for
the thermal protection of motors. The
temperature is measured directly at
the motor windings via a PTC or NTC
thermistor detector and is evaluated by
SIMOCODE-DP. No additional
evaluation devices are required, thus
saving space in the switchboard.

An additional evaluation device is not

required, and the space requirement in
the cubicle is further reduced.

min

Finely adjustable adaptation to

start-up conditions
It is possible to select a tripping class
in six steps from CLASS 5 to CLASS
30. The tripping time can be finely
adjusted to the start-up conditions
and the utilisation of the motors can
be optimised.

The SIMOCODE-DP system is also

suitable for a precise earth fault
detection. A version is available with
external earth fault detection. By
connecting an external summation
current transformer, fault currents of
0.3 A, 0.5 A and 1 A can be detected
for both 3 and 4-wire motors.

Tripping time

Overload protection
SIMOCODE-DP protects the load,
independent of the automation level,
against overload, phase failure and
current imbalance. The 3UF50 basic
unit can also be used as an
autonomous, solid-state overload relay
for motor protection.

For motors with 3-wire connection,

fault currents which exceed the
current setting Ie (during nominal
operation) by 30% can be detected
with the internal earth fault detection.

Electrical equipment such as AC

motors and transformers need
protection against excessive heating.
Unbalanced current consumption,
phase failure or a stalled rotor are
some of the possible causes of
overloading.

Wide Scope of Control Functions

With the SIMOCODE-DP system nine

different control functions can be
implemented:

Cost reduction by pre-defined

control functions

In addition, run time checks can be set

for the start or stop of motors and for
the slide valve control functions in
between the limits.

In the SIMOCODE-DP, all necessary

interlocking requirements for the
relevant control function (e.g. with
encoders the undelayed deactivation
of the motor in case of an operation of
the limit or torque switch) are implemented. This offers major advantages:

Overload relay
Direct starter
Reversing starter
Star-delta starter
Dahlander
Pole-changing switch
Slide valve (Encoder)
Solenoid valve
SIKOSTART 3RW22
(Soft starter)

Safety by operator enable and

manual/automatic switch-over
In the automatic mode, control
commands (e.g. ON, OFF) are transmitted to SIMOCODE-DP via the bus.
Control commands from the switchgear cubicle (e.g. of the operating
module) or from the local control
station are only possible in this
operating mode if the corresponding
operator enable commands have been
set.

Reducing the demands put on the

user program in the programmable
controller, i.e. fast planning, fewer
possibilities for errors, shorter
program cycle times
Time-critical functions of the
motor feeder are independent of
the signal process time in the
automation level and on the
communication system.

In addition, permanent or nonmaintained command mode can be

set. All control functions can be
implemented using the 3UF50 basic
unit. If more than four inputs and four
outputs are required, an additional
eight inputs and four outputs can be
fitted by using an extension module.

If the automatic level switches to

manual operation, or if local control is
activated by means of a local manual/
automatic key switch, the bus control
commands are ignored and the feeder
can now be exclusively controlled via
the operating module or using the local
control station.
Reduction of failure times by
autonomous operation
In case of system failures on the
communication system, SIMOCODEDP automatically switches to manual
mode.
When this occurs, the load is either
switched OFF or the operating state is
maintained. Further control is possible
using the manual mode.
Downtimes in case of failures in the
automation and communication level
are considerably reduced: The process
can still be safely continued locally due
to the autonomous structure of the
SIMOCODE-DP.
The process can be resumed however
surely by the self-sufficient structure of
the system SIMOCODE-DP locally.
It means self-sufficient that all
protective relay for motor and control
functions are processed independently
of the automation level in the
SIMOCODE-DP.

Flexibility due to decentralised

signal logic-, delays- and
conditioning
The great flexibility of the SIMOCODEDP system is especially characterised
by the integrated:

Selective start of the system

After a mains failure, the motor feeders
can be restarted using time-grading.
This makes a fast and selective start of
the system possible.

3 truth tables
(3 inputs with 1 output each)
1 truth table
(5 inputs with 2 outputs)
2 timers

4 elements of signal processing
Inverted level without memory
Rising edge with memory
Falling edge with memory
Signal conditioning
3 flashing modules
3 flickering modules.
2 elements of non-resetting
onvoltage failure
The inputs and outputs of the system
can be assigned to predefined control
functions as well as to the truth tables,
timers and counters. Thus, a flexible
use of the predefined control functions
is possible.
The make/break contact behavior of
the outputs is set by the signal
processing modules.

Control and Signalling

Extensive Diagnostics

SIMOCODE-DP offers a large amount

of operational and statistical data on
the feeder, which is available to the
user for visualisation and diagnostic
purposes.
This data can be accessed:
directly at the switchboard via the
LED display of the hand-held-unit
plugged into the basic unit or
operator panel, or via a PC with
Win-SIMOCODE-DP/Smart.
via PROFIBUS-DP. The data can be
read by the user program and it can
be transferred to a corresponding
operator communication and
monitoring system. Thus, the various
operational and statistical information
can be displayed in the control room
over PROFIBUS-DPV1 with a
communications processor which
were in the PC/PU and the software
Win-SIMOCODE-DP/Professional

Always informed as to the current

Warning

Reduction of failures by the
signalling of critical operating
states
The settable current limits inform the
process engineer about critical states
in the system. For example, a current
which is below the lower current limit
setting could mean a broken conveyor
belt for example. The overloading of a
mixing machine for example can be
quickly detected by the display of
upper current limit exceeded. To avoid
an overload trip of the machine, the
process engineer can take precise
steps to change the working process,
such as reducing the amount of
material in the mixer.

Reduction of maintenance times

Maintenance intervals can be
increased, as all statistical data relating
to the condition of a particular feeder is
transmitted from the SIMOCODE-DP to
the PLC. SIMOCODE-DP registers the
number of starts and the number of
overload trips, counts the operating
hours and calculates the current in %
of the last trip. All data is stored in a
non-volatile memory in SIMOCODE-DP.
Analogue Current display
For display of analogue current value
through a display device on the panel
door; the SIMOCODE-DP system is
provided with an external current
transformer (range 0.25 A-820 A/1A).
With this it is also possible for the
systemselector to inform about the
actual current flowing in the motor
feeder.
Self-monitoring
The correct function of the
SIMOCODE-DP processor is
permanently monitored. If there is a
fault, SIMOCODE-DP switches the
load to the adjustement, safe state
(OFF, or maintain operating state monostable or bistable behavior).
Also testable in action
This function gives SIMOCODE-DP
additional safety and better monitoring
features.
The operation of SIMOCODE-DP can
be checked during running without
switching off of the motor. This saves
time and avoids unnecessary
interruptions of the operation.

3UF50 SIMOCODE-DP

PROFIBUS-DP (Process Fieldbus Decentralised Peripherals) provides

high-performance communication
between the SIMOCODE-DP and the
automation level. Control commands,
operational data, statistical data and
parameter data are transmitted via the
two-wire bus cable. There is also the
possibility to use optical link modules
so that the data transmission would be
effected via plastic or glass fibre optic
cables.
Here, the communications processor
(CP/IM) plugged into the programmable logic controller (PLC) provides the
management of the SIMOCODE-DP

devices connected to the bus and

forms the interface to the user
program. Further processing of the
SIMOCODE-DP data, i.e. the integration into the supervisory control
system and any subsequent
processing is handled by the user
program.
Short transmission times
To achieve short transmission times,
PROFIBUS-DP features several data
channels. Up to 12 bytes can be sent
cyclically from SIMOCODE-DP
to the automation level and up to 4
bytes can be returned.

automation system.

Communication
PROFIBUS-DPV1
The PROFIBUS-DP standard has been
extended around acyclic reading and
writing from data and with PROFIBUSDPV1 this can be achieved. Acyclic
reading and writing means for
SIMOCODE-DP, that from a central
workstation over PROFIBUS-DPV1
with a PC or PU fitted with
communicatios processor and the
software Win-SIMOCODE-DP/
Professional all control, diagnosis,
test and parameter data can be
read and written. The PROFIBUS-DPV1
is a secondary protocol for the
PROFIBUS-DP, and it does not
require additional lines or interfaces.

OUT without
PROFIBUS-DP.

The communication processors

SIMOCODE-DP can work with any
standard DP master which is able to
read GSD files and which is capable
of processing the following amounts
of data:
Control data 1 or 4 byte cyclic from
the DP master to SIMOCODE-DP
Signalling data 1/4/12 byte cyclic
from SIMOCODE-DP to the DP
master
Diagnosis data 20 byte acyclic from
SIMOCODE-DP to the DP master
Parameter data 213 byte.

Siemens and 400 other

manufacturers and users
of communications-capable
devices fully support the
EN 50170 PROFIBUS
standard. All are members
of the PROFIBUS user
organisation.

Today, there are more

than 700 PROFIBUS-related
products.

For acyclic reading and writing from

data the communication processor
must be able the standard extension
PROFIBUS-DPV1.
Bus system expandable
If no bus system is applicable at the
todays point in time, then can be
easily re-tooled this later. Because
SIMOCODE-DP processes all
protective relay for motor and control
functions independently of the
automation level.
Naturally also SIMOCODE-DP is
applicable as self-sufficient protective
realy for motor and controller without
PROFIBUS-DP genereally.

See for yourself. You can

get information on the highperformance PROFIBUS
simply by requesting the
information diskette of the

Mglichkeiten der Parametrierung

Integrating many slaves using only

one software
The integration of SIMOCODE-DP into
a PROFIBUS-DP network is easily
achieved via the parameterising and
service programme of COM
PROFIBUS Windows 3.1 or of
SIMATIC S7: Step 7 Windows 95.
Call up the parameterisation and
service program COM PROFIBUS open the master system under File
New and add the individual slaves
e.g. the SIMOCODE-DP, the
PROFIBUS-DP interface for the circuitbreaker or the micro master everything with just one software.
Double-click on the SIMOCODE-DP
icon and now the required parameters
for the motor feeder can be set.
SIMOCODE-DP Online
Parametrization
Now the user can parameterize
SIMOCODE-DP Online from a
central workstation through
PROFIBUS-DP.
So, what is meant by Online?
Previously it was possible to transfer

10

the slave parameters through

PROFIBUS-DP only in the start-up
phase of the communication processor.
But now exists the possibility that
besides normal cyclic data exchange,
acyclic reading and writing of
parameters is also possible. This
means now SIMOCODE-DP can be
parameterized, controlled, observed
and tested from a central project
engineering workstation by using WinSIMOCODE-DP/Professional software.
This central project engineering
workstation should be equipped with a
personnel computer (PC) or a
programming unit (PU) with integrated
PROFIBUS-DP communication
processor. Another possibility is to use
a Siemens PU, with integrated MPI
interface and access the PROFIBUSDP directly.
Reduced comissioning time
Now its not required to run around
from switch room and parametrize the
motor feeders. All SIMOCODE-DP
connected to PROFIBUS-DP can be
parametrized from a central place.
Moreover all parameters can also be
read and written by that.

Increased system availability

In the past changing of parameters
meant system deadlock. With WinSIMOCODE-DP/Professional the
parameters in SIMOCODE-DP can be
modified Online through PROFIBUSDP wihtout bringing the system to a
halt.

Totally Integrated in SIMATIC S7,

Win-SIMOCODE-DP/Professional is
Totally Integrated in SIMATIC S7/C7/
M7 as well as PCS7. The call is made
by STEP 7 from HW-Config. The OMSIMOCODE-DP therby implements
the data interface.
This results in a unique possibility; that
only with one software package one
can write the PLC user programme,
configure PROFIBUS-DP and
parameterize SIMOCODE-DP 3UF5
the communication capable motor
protection and control device. Use of
different complex software packages is
omitted thereby.

Totally Integrated in SIMATIC S7/M7/C7/PCS7

A plus for commisioning

Another advantage of the SIMOCODEDP system is that a motor feeder can
be tested during the commisioning
stage with the Win-SIMOCODE-DP/
Professional software. This means,
there lies a possibility, that one can
switch on and off from a central
workstation and also set the Testbits
and enquire about the device state.

is normally implemented via coupling

devices and point-to-point connections
to input and output modules of the
PLC or DCS. With the application of
SIMOCODE-DP, the scope of wiring is
reduced to a minimum - A two-wire
PROFIBUS-DP cable for up to 100
motor feeder; Coupling devices and
input/output modules, cable gallery are
not required.
Reduction in wiring costs in
the field level

Reduced number of products

cover the entire range
For the complete control and
monitoring including connection to the
PROFIBUS-DP, only SIMOCODE-DP is
required. This means that no additional
overload relays, thermistor evaluation
devices etc. need to be installed.
Reduction of the scope of wiring
between field and control level

In the case of the reverser starter

(figure 3) no electrical interlocking is
required, and no time-delay relay which
prevents a direct switch-over from
clockwise to anti-clockwise rotation is
necessary. Everything is implemented
with SIMOCODE-DP. The only thing
required is to set the desired switchover delay time

Modular Device Configuration

The modular configuration of the

SIMOCODE-DP system means that it
can be used as a protection and
control device for feeders. The system
consists of the following components:

3UF50 basic unit

The basic unit with four inputs and
four outputs implements all protection
and control functions autonomously,
and provides connection to the
PROFIBUS-DP. The four inputs are fed
by the internal 24 V DC power supply.
The extension module, the operating
module, the manual operating device
or the PC can be connected via the
system interface. The basic unit is
produced with three different control
supply voltage
(24 V DC, 115 V AC, 230 V AC).

The extension module additionally

provides eight inputs and four outputs
to the system. The device itself is fed
by the basic unit. The eight inputs
must be connected to an external
voltage supply. Here, there are three
different voltage versions (24 V DC,
115 V AC, 230 V AC). The connection to
the basic unit and the connection to
the operating module, to the manual
operating device or to the PC is via the
system interface.

If the PROFIBUS-DP is connected to
the basic unit, the standard 9-pole SubD plugs with built-in bus terminating
resistor can be used. Especially for the
application of SIMOCODE-DP in Motor
Control Centers (MCC drawout unit
design) there is a bus termination
module with built-in power supply. This
guarantees that even the last unit in
the bus can be removed without any
impairment of the data flow.

SIVACON The Communications-Capable

Low-Voltage Switchgear

As well as the communicationscapable 3WN6 circuit-breakers and

AS-Interface modules, SIMOCODE-DP
now provides another communications
module for low-voltage switchgear.
SIMOCODE-DP can be used in
SIVACON for the control of all
feeders in both fixed and drawout
design.
High availability - no problem with
SIVACON drawout design
SIVACON drawout design enables the
system operator to adapt quickly to
changing system requirements.
With the integration of SIMOCODE-DP
directly into the drawout units, a clear
connection to the feeder and the
corresponding SIMOCODE-DP is
reached. A replacement of drawout
units is possible without interruption of
the bus connection.
Technical configuration of the
SIVACON switchgear with
SIMOCODE-DP
The 3UF52 operating module is always
accessible from the front and is
situated in the front panel of the
relevant drawout unit.
The 3UF50 basic unit with the integrated current transformers is built into
the inside of the drawout units.
Each feeder can be adjusted and
controlled autonomously at the
switchboard by connecting the manual
operating device or a PC with the WINSIMOCODE-DP software to the
operating module integrated into the
front panel. In addition, all operation,
diagnostic and statistical data
determined by SIMOCODE-DP can be
read.
