An MCC is a sectionalized structure with control components for
each motor mounted in a removable container called a pan or
bucket. In addition to combination motor control units, motor
control centers can also include items such as reduced-voltage
starters, variable speed drives, and PLCs.
Siemens tiastar MCCs have been designed to incorporate a
variety of Siemens products that offer optimal motor control,
communications, monitoring, protection, and automation
interfacing. For example, tiastar integrated products can include
SIMOCODE motor management systems, SIRIUS 3R reduced
voltage starters, and any of several models of Siemens variable
frequency drives communicating via the PROFIBUS-DP network.
High density and arc flash resistant tiastar MCCs are also
available.
SIMOCODE pro Motor SIMOCODE pro is a flexible, modular motor management
Management System system that provides multifunctional, solid-state protection
for constant speed motors. SIMOCODE pro implements all
motor protection and control functions; provides for tracking of
operational, diagnostic, and statistical data; and communicates
with the automation system via PROFIBUS DP.
SIMOCODE pro C is a compact, economical system for full-
voltage forward and reversing starters. Each SIMOCODE pro C
includes a basic unit connected by a single cable to a current
measuring module. An optional operator panel may also be
connected to the basic unit.
SIMOCODE pro V is a variable system with an even greater
range of functions. In addition to a basic unit, it can include
either a current measuring module or a combination current/
voltage measuring module, up to five expansion modules, and
an optional operator panel (with or without display).
