4.) Connect SIMOCODE-DP to 3VF circuit-breaker
If the following accessories are not already fitted in the 3VF circuit-breaker, fit them before wiring:
Please follow the assembly instructions when fitting internal accessories in the circuit-breaker.
Connect SIMOCODE-DP and the 3VF circuit-breaker in accordance with the circuit diagram on
pages 14/15.
5.) Bus configuration and visualization
The handheld operator panel or a PC must be used for setting a number of parameters in SIMOCODE-DP
during the initial start-up, e.g. address and baud rate. The remaining parameters can then be set via the
bus using a PC or programming device and either the COM-PROFIBUS software or STEP 5/7. The
parameters are then stored on an EEPROM.
If SIMATIC S5 is the bus master, the bus can be configured quickly and easily using either a PC or a
SIMATIC programming device (PG) in conjunction with the COM-PROFIBUS program. In the case of
other bus masters, the appropriate devices and/or supplier-specific tools must be used.
The SIMOCODE-DP identification can be read into the bus master in the form of type or GSD files. The
following list specifies which file is required for each master:
File allocation list:
4
si8031_d.200:
Type file (German) for Siemens master only (e.g. IM308C ...)
si8031gd.200:
Type file (German) for Siemens master only (S5-95)
siem8031.GSD
GSD file (device data)
For non-Siemens suppliers of standard DP masters
Note:
You only need a GSD file if you are operating SIMOCODE-DP in conjunction with a DP master which
cannot process type files.
High-performance software is available for the visualization and evaluation of the data transferred from
3VF (see page 35 for description):
"SICAM LCC" for the visualization of complete systems implementing circuit-breakers 3VF, 3WN6,
3WN1, 3WS1, and a SIMOCODE-DP motor protection and control device.
