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.
