Supervised Input Module Ribbon Cable
Installation Instructions
Model SIM-16RC
INTRODUCTION
The Model SIM-16RC Supervised Input Module Ribbon
Cable from Siemens Industry, Inc., is a remotely located,
general purpose input module. It provides sixteen input
circuits for remote system monitoring. Each input can
only be unsupervised (general-purpose input). The
SIM-16RC has two Form C relays. The relays and the
inputs are programmed by inserting an SIM-16 in the
Zeus Programming Tool.
Inputs must be programmed as unsupervised.
OPERATION
The SIM-16RC is mounted in an enclosure that is
remotely located from the Main Panel. Communication
between the SIM-16RC and the NIC-C (Network Interface
Card) or DAC-NET is through the Control Area Network
(CAN) bus. Up to 99 SIM-16RCs can be used with a
single NIC-C or DAC-NET.
Each SIM-16RC has two 10-position rotary switches that
are used to set the board address on the CAN which is a
sub-address of the NIC-C or DAC-NET.
Every time a change of state of the input is detected, a
unique CAN message is sent to the NIC-C or DAC-NET. A
CAN message from the NIC-C or DAC-NET directed to
the SIM-16RC controls the Form C relays.
PRE-INSTALLATION
Rotary Address Switches
- Set the board address for
each SIM-16RC using both of the ten-position rotary
switches located on the board (See Figure 1). Each of
these addresses must be a sub-address of the NIC-C or
DAC-NET and must be the same as the addresses
assigned in the Zeus Programming Tool.
INSTALLATION
A SIM-16RC may be installed in a REMBOX. When using REMBOX 2 or 4, mount the
SIM-16RC in one module space on a REMBOX2-MP, P/N 500-634211 or REMBOX4-
MP, P/N 500-634212 using the four screws provided. (Refer to REMBOX2-MP/
REMBOX4-MP Installation Instructions, P/N 315-034211.) Up to 4 SIM-16RCs will fit
in a REMBOX2; up to 8 SIM-16RCs will fit in a REMBOX4.
