4.2. SIMA Options
SIMA offers various options to adapt to the requirements of the plant system. The standard setup
described above shows the SIMA basic version: Small housing, one fieldbus line to actuators (field)
and DCS (host), standard SIMAsoft. The necessary peripheral devices (monitor, keyboard), eg. For
commissioning, are not within the scope of supply. This additional peripheral equipment is also useful
when setting up a SIMA touch screen version.
This SIMA, whether in basic or in touch screen version, can be upgraded or expanded by various
options:
redundant field wiring (see clause 7.1, p.26)
two separate lines (for the two channels A and B)
a redundant interface towards the host system by separate PCB
(see clause 1.1, p. 30) and even …
second, separate SIMA Master Station; “Hot Stand-by”
(see clause 7.2, p. 28)
Additional hardware configuration and/or software solutions finally make a customized system:
interface cards (eg. IOs) for additional functions with the integration in (SIMA-) software
special interfaces to the host:
- customer specific functionality via the standard protocols
- other communication platform and/or protocol (Ethernet, RS232…)
4.3. SIMA HMI
There is no need to permanently provide monitor and keyboard for a SIMA, because under normal
operation conditions the systems automatically takes care of the fieldbus communication to the
actuators, collects all the field information and makes these data available for the host system (DCS).
The host system again issues via SIMA control information for the actuators. So there is no need to
have an additional HMI-interface connected to SIMA.
As mentioned above this HMI may be very useful during commissioning, parameterizing or monitoring
