Response, Delay (CiR) at warning level
Here you can set:
● how SIMOCODE pro should respond if the set warning level is overshot
● the delay time.
9.5.3 P< (lower limit)
Monitoring Active Power P< (lower 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. Insufficient active
power can, for example, be a sign of non-load motor operation.
SIMOCODE pro supports 2-phase monitoring of the Active Power for freely-selectable lower
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 lower limit.
● Trip level:
0 - 4294967.295 kW
● Warning level:
0 - 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+).
