Active Power
SIMOCODE pro can indirectly monitor the state of a device or system via the Active Power.
For example, by monitoring the Active Power of a pump motor, conclusions can be drawn
from the Active Power level about the flow rate or fluid fill levels. The active power curve of a
motor is a precise reflection of its actual load across the entire range. Excess load results in
increased wear of the motor and, thus, may lead to premature motor failure. Insufficient
active power can, for example, be a sign of non-load motor operation.
SIMOCODE pro supports 2-phase monitoring of the Active Power for freely-selectable upper
and lower current limits. The response of SIMOCODE pro when a pre-warning or trip Level
has been reached can be freely parameterized and delayed.
Active Power is measured via current/voltage measuring modules.
Trip level (CiR), Warning level (CiR)
With Active Power Monitoring, you can parameterize two different Response Levels (trip
level/warning level) for the upper and lower limit.
Trip level:
•
P> (upper limit)
0 to 4294967.295 kW
•
P< (lower limit)
