Communication

SIMEAS P is a panel-mounted
device for direct reading of
power system parameters.
With a very simple
configuration, the display of
measured values is adaptable
to the specific requirements of
the user.
Network linking is possible with
the integral RS485 port
equipped with the standard
Profibus DP protocol (optional:
Modbus, DNP V3.0) which
provides for indication,
evaluation and processing of
several SIMEAS P measured
parameters at a central master
station.

The SIMEAS P simplicity of

design translates into easy and
comprehensive operation.
Terminology and descriptions in
national language provides for
rapid menu-assisted
configuration of the unit.

The high quality of SIMEAS P

is guaranteed by development
and production in our ISO-9001
certified facilities in Berlin/
Germany. For the user, this
translates into high system
security, reliability and long
trouble-free product life.
SIMEAS quality means
continuously high accuracy
over years, CE-labelling,
electromagnetic compatibility
and compliance with all relevant
national and international
standards.

As communication between
field devices is becoming
standard, development of the
SIMEAS P communication
interface focussed on the
universality and flexibility of the
transmission protocol. It is
connected via an RS485 port
with standard 9-pin Cannon
connector. SIMEAS P units are
delivered with a standard
Profibus DP protocol with
transmission rates of up to 12
Mbit/s. With auxiliary software
SIMEAS P can also use other
communication protocols. The
integration of Modbus and DNP
V3 is in preparation. Future
protocols or modifications and
extensions of present standard
protocols can be integrated
later. Since SIMEAS P is not
dependent on a special
transmission protocol, it is
easier for the user to integrate
SIMEAS P into a field bus
system at a later date without
the worry of having decided on
the wrong protocol.

Technology
Powerful onboard
microprocessors ensure ultrafast registration and updating of
measured parameters.
SIMEAS P can be connected to
any power system configuration
directly (up to 690V-networks)
or via transformer - from singlephase to four-wire balanced or
unbalanced three-phase
systems. The power supply unit
allows rated supply voltages
from 24 to 250 V/DC and 100 to
230V/AC making the SIMEAS
P ruly universal.
Design
The front panel with integrated
keys and high-resolution bluebacklit graphic display gives the
SIMEAS P a clean appearance
that emphasizes its high tech
features.

Display
All measured parameters can
be displayed on the SIMEAS P
screens as required by the
user. Up to 20 screens can be
selected with the front keys.
Number, type, content and
sequence of the screens are
configurable.
SIMEAS P is delivered with
programmed default settings.
A status line displayed in the
measured value screens
indicates status, interfacing and
diagnostic messages of
SIMEAS P.
The status line is automatically
refreshed every 500ms.
Measuring functions
Measured input voltages and
input currents are sampled for
calculation of the corresponding
r.m.s. values. All variables
derived from measured values
are calculated by a processor.
They can be displayed on the
screens and/or transmitted via
the serial interface.
With the SIMEAS P it is also
possible to parameterize
several limit value groups with
limit values of the measured
parameters. These may be
combined with logical elements
such as AND,OR; violations are
counted and indicated on the
screen or made available at the
binary outputs. Triggering of the
oscilloscope is possible as well.

Security
Electrical isolation between
inputs and outputs, assured by
high voltage testing, guarantees
maximum system security.
Configuration and calibration
settings are tamperproof by
password protection.
Service
SIMEAS P units are available
ex stock. They require no
maintenance and are easy to
service due to their modular
design.
The units can easily be
calibrated from the front keys or
with PC-based configuration
software.

In this manner a number of
SIMEAS P units can be
configured with minimum
effort. The stored set of
parameters is simply reloaded when a unit has to be
replaced. Furthermore,
communication protocols and
firmware updates can be
loaded with help of the
SIMEAS P software.

The SIMEAS P software

offers the user the possibility
of online retrieval, evaluation
and time-stamp printing of
measured values remotely
from a PC or notebook.

Independent of the SIMEAS

parameters determined in
SIMEAS P can be presented
on a graphic display.
Evaluation

The sinusoidal or r.m.s.values recorded by SIMEAS

P can be displayed (figure 4)
and processed very
professionally and printed out
in graphical or tabular form.
All relevant measured values
can also be selected and
recorded from the PC or
notebook with the same possibilities of representation
and evaluation.
The records may be
subjected to further
processing by a variety of
user-friendly tools.
Setting or shifting of up to 8
cursors is possible with
online representation of the
measured values at the
