Monitoring Active Power P> (upper limit)
SIMOCODE pro can indirectly monitor the state of a device or system via the Active Power.
For example, by monitoring the Active Power of a pump motor, conclusions can be drawn
from the Active Power level about the flow rate or fluid fill levels. The active power curve of a
motor is a precise reflection of its actual load across the entire range. Excess load results in
increased wear of the motor and, thus, may lead to premature motor failure.
SIMOCODE pro supports 2-phase monitoring of the Active Power for freely-selectable upper
current limits. The response of SIMOCODE pro when a pre-warning or trip Level has been
reached can be freely parameterized and delayed.
Active Power is measured via current/voltage measuring modules.
Trip level (CiR), warning level (CiR)
With Active Power Monitoring, you can parameterize two different response levels (trip
level/warning level) for the upper limit:
● Trip level:
0 to 4294967.295 kW
● Warning level:
0 to 4294967.295 kW.
Trip level and warning level activity
The trip level/warning level is only effective when the motor is running, the start-up
procedure has been completed and there is no Test Position Feedback (TPF) (run+).
Response, Delay (CiR) at trip level
Here you can set:
● how SIMOCODE pro should respond if the set trip level is overshot
● the delay time.
