Basic information on safety
Standards/directives
Our products are designed and manufactured in compliance with recognised
standards and directives. This is certified in a Declaration of Incorporation and an
EU Declaration of Conformity.
The end user or the contractor must ensure that all legal requirements, directives,
guidelines, national regulations and recommendations with respect to assembly,
electrical connection, commissioning and operation are met at the place of installation.
They include among others applicable configuration guidelines for digital
communication interfaces.
Safety instructions/warn-
ings
All personnel working with this device must be familiar with the safety and warning
instructions in this manual and observe the instructions given. Safety instructions
and warning signs on the device must be observed to avoid personal injury or property
damage.
Qualification of staff
Assembly, electrical connection, commissioning, operation, and maintenance must
be carried out by suitably qualified personnel authorised by the end user or contractor
of the plant only.
Prior to working on this product, the staff must have thoroughly read and understood
these instructions and, furthermore, know and observe officially recognised rules
regarding occupational health and safety.
Commissioning
Prior to commissioning, it is important to check that all settings meet the requirements
of the application. Incorrect settings might present a danger to the application, e.g.
cause damage to the valve or the installation. The manufacturer will not be held
liable for any consequential damage. Such risk lies entirely with the user.
Operation
Prerequisites for safe and smooth operation:
●
Correct transport, proper storage, mounting and installation, as well as careful
commissioning.

Range of application
SIMA² controls the complete fieldbus communication with AUMA actuators. Availability
of fieldbus communication to the actuators can be considerably increased thanks to
manifold redundancy options. All these redundancy options are monitored during
running operation by SIMA² thanks to efficient troubleshooting mechanisms allowing
to introduce countermeasures if required and to automatically switch without delay
to alternative communication channels or communication systems. Operation of
other field devices or actuators require projecting and must be agreed with AUMA.
SIMA² is appropriate for control and supervision of AUMA actuators with Modbus
RTU interface.
