Description of functions of control stations 
Control stations - overview 
Control stations are places from which control commands are issued to the motor. The 
"Control Stations" function block is used for administration, switching and prioritization of 
these different control stations. SIMOCODE pro allows parallel administration of up to four 
different control stations. Dependent on the set control function, up to five different control 
commands can be transmitted from every control station to SIMOCODE pro. 
Control stations can be: 
● 
 in the direct vicinity of the motor; control commands via pushbuttons. 
● 
, switching commands are issued by the automation system 
(remote). 
● 
, control commands are issued via an operator control station or 
via PROFIBUS DPV, OPC UA or PROFINET with the SIMOCODE ES software. 
● 
, control commands are issued via the buttons of the operator panel in the 
control cabinet door. 
Examples of control commands: 
● 
Motor ON (ON >), Motor OFF (OFF)
 for a direct starter 
● 
Motor CCW (ON <), Motor OFF (OFF), Motor CW (ON >)
 for a reversing starter 
● 
Motor SLOW (ON >), Motor FAST (ON >>), Motor OFF (OFF)
 for a Dahlander circuit. 
The plugs of the "Control Stations" function block must be connected to any sockets (e.g. 
binary inputs on the basic unit, control bits from the bus, etc.) for the control commands to 
take effect. Up to five different control commands can come from each control station. Up to 
five plugs (plug ON <<, ON <, OFF, ON >, ON >>) are available on the function block for 
each control station. The number of active plugs depends on the control function selected. 
With a direct starter, for example, only the plugs "ON >" and "OFF" are active.
