SIMA Master station 2SM2

SIMA-safe communication to actuators

Intelligent fieldbus-based control system for electric actuators

Key benefits

• Single Master Station and Hot-Standby options
• Support for up to 247 actuators
• Easy interface to DCS: Modbus RTU and TCP Fieldbus systems: Modbus RTU, Modbus Loop, PROFIBUS DP
• based on standardized industrial PC platform
• intuitive graphical user interface SIMAsoft
• SIMAnetwork auto configuration
• full MOV controll via faceplate
• monitoring of host messages, actuator commands, status and alarm indication
• Multiple language support
• Front access to all operating elements and connectors
• 100% hard- and software downwards compatibility

SIMAnetwork

Other functions

• embedded operating system from Microsoft: standard interfaces to the automation and office level (Ethernet)
• storage of operating system, programs and all data on compact flash-card (no hard disk)
• network topologies
  • linear structure: active bus termination on both ends
  • ring structure to the field devices (only Modbus, "loop-redundancy")
• flexible redundancy concepts:
  • line redundancy to the field devices and control system
  • loop-redundancy to the field devices via one single fieldbus line
  • Master redundancy ("Hot-Stand-by"): second Stand-by-SIMA parallel to the Master station
• automatic configuration and installation of communication to the actuators(easy commissioning - Plug & Play)
• Remote parameterization of the actuators
• switching on/off of actuators (field devices) during operation possile - "hot pluggable"
• integration of other field devices (sensors, actors)
• extensive accessories package available: repeater, bus terminator, power supply, fieldbus cable etc.
