1.2. Range of application
²
The SIMA Master Station is designed for controlling and monitoring AUMA actuators.
Availability of fieldbus communication to the actuators can be considerably increased
thanks to manifold redundancy options. All these redundancy options are monitored
²
during running operation by SIMA 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.
²
Other (software) applications using SIMA require explicit (written) confirmation by
the manufacturer.

2. Identification
2.1. Important terms (terminology)
This chapter includes the key designations and the terminology required for the basic
²
understanding of SIMA installations. All other designations are explained in the
respective chapters.
² ²
Information The simplified term SIMA is used to refer to the SIMA Master Station.

AUMA redundancy As an alternative to loop redundancy, the fieldbus connection to the actuators can
also be designed as line topology. In this case, two separate fieldbus cables are
installed in line topology to each actuator and the actuators are configured for AUMA
redundancy I.
Auto configuration Automated procedure during commissioning of loop redundancy whereby the fieldbus
addresses are automatically assigned on the basis of the actuator sequence within
the loop.
Host Superordinate automation system. Also referred to as DCS or SCADA.
²
Hot standby If two SIMA subsystems are jointly operated, this redundant configuration is
²
System redundancy designated as hot standby system redundancy. Both SIMA subsystems can either
be located in a joint housing or in two separate housings.
²
In this version, both SIMA subsystems are identified by SIMA A or SIMA B. Each
²
of these two SIMA subsystems functions completely independently of the other
subsystem, since each system is equipped with an own power supply, an own CPU
sub-assembly as well as separate multi-touchscreens.
In standard operation, SIMA A always adopts system control while SIMA B is working
in standby mode, continuously monitoring the overall system. If SIMA A fails, SIMA
B takes over control and thus ensures the complete function including the
communication to the actuators and the host.
When selecting the configuration with separate housings, up to four loops are
supported. In turn, the configuration with one joint housing only supports one loop.

Identification MODBUS RTU, MODBUS TCP/IP

²
Network Physical arrangement of actuators connected to SIMA (line topology or loop topology).
²
Combined with Modbus RTU, up to 247 actuators are supported for each SIMA
network.
²
Loop redundancy A fieldbus is routed from the SIMA to the first actuator and then to the next actuator
²
until reaching the last actuator and back to SIMA , thus arranged in loop configuration.
In case of interruption or short-circuit within the loop system, communication to the
actuators is maintained.
² ²
SIMA Master Station The SIMA Master Station communicates to the field actuators using a standardised
²
fieldbus protocol. This protocol is used by SIMA to transmit the respective operation
commands to the connected actuators. In turn, they send their respective status
²
signals to the SIMA at cyclic intervals. Both actuator signals and diagnostic
²
information of SIMA and the used communication interfaces are visualised by means
²
of an integrated web server and the multi-touchscreen at SIMA .
²
Generally, SIMA via a standardised communication protocol with a host receiving
²
all essential status signals and issuing the operation commands to SIMA for
transmission to the individual actuators. Both, communication to actuators and
communication to the host can be arranged in redundant topology. In addition, the
²
SIMA Master Station as such can be arranged in redundant topology.
²
SIMA Master Station offers easy, fast and detailed diagnostics of all connected
actuators, the interfaces as well as self-diagnostics. SIMA² further allows data
concentration of actuator feedback signals to relieve the host, a stand-alone mode
as well as protocol conversion and manages all redundancy properties.
²
Depending on the configuration, SIMA Master Station is composed of one or two
² ²
SIMA subsystems. Up to 4 networks are possible for each SIMA .
Figure 3: Single Master Station

² ²
SIMA subsystem Typically, a SIMA subsystem consists of a power supply unit, a multi-touchscreen,
CPU sub-assembly and the interfaces required for communication to the actuators
²
and to the host. For hot standby system redundancy, two separate SIMA subsystems
are used. The version without hot standby system redundancy only consists of one
²
SIMA subsystem and is also named single master station.
²
SIMA A / SIMA B SIMA A or SIMA B is a clear designation of both physical SIMA subsystems when
²
SIMA is arranged in hot standby system redundancy.

² ²
Single Master Station SIMA in non-redundant version with only one SIMA subsystem for fieldbus
communication. For a Single Master Station, the multi-touchscreen is always located
on the right housing side.
²
Stand-alone mode In sites without superordinate automation system (host), SIMA is deployed in the
so-called stand-alone mode. Operation commands for the actuators are specified
manually by the user either via the multi-touchscreen or via the integral web server.
Status or diagnostic signals of actuators are visually monitored by the user.

Cycle time Time required for requesting feedback signals from all actuators connected via
Modbus RTU.
2.2. Name plate
²
Data for identification Each SIMA is equipped with a name plate. The name plate is located at different
²
positions: for rack mounting or as bench device on the rear of SIMA , for devices in
wall mounting version at the left side of the device.
²
For unambiguous assignment of SIMA , the following data is required:

2.3. Short description

²
Communication with SIMA controls electric actuators and offers the possibility to operate the overall
other actuators fieldbus system. With the standardised connection to the host or easy external
²
operation via web server or direct on-site operation, SIMA is the ideal solution to
²
connect actuators with the host fieldbus interfaces. SIMA allows integration of AUMA
actuators in different distributes control systems. The complete communication
²
between host and actuators are controlled by SIMA .
²

Failure to observe this warning result in death, serious injury, or property damage.
→ The electrical connection must be carried out exclusively by suitably qualified
personnel.
→ Prior to connection, observe basic information contained in this chapter.

The connecting cables must comply with the requirements in terms of electrical
connection data and load (mechanical, thermal and chemical). It is recommended
to use shields for all connecting cables with the exception of the main power supply
and to use the provided terminals for the shield.
²
Wiring diagram/terminal The pertaining wiring diagram/terminal plan for SIMA is supplied in a separate cover
plan and may also be requested when indicating the order number (refer to name plate).
²
Power supply SIMA Master Station can be provided for different supply voltages. Prior to
connection, check whether the supply voltage matches the specified voltage.
For further details, please refer to technical data.

Mains connection Ensure that the device’s power switch is set to OFF prior to connecting the power
supply.
The voltage values for the device supplied are available on the name plate.
Depending on the mounting position, lateral mounting of the mains cable is possible.
However, this modification may only be performed by the AUMA Service.
5.2. Earth connection
²
The SIMA housing must be earthed using the earth wire available with the connecting

must be introduced at the cable entry to the control cabinet housing the SIMA .
Overvoltage protection modules for fieldbus cables are available on request.
5.5. Interface and communication to the actuators via Modbus RTU
²
The interface between SIMA and the actuators of the AUMA Group is the open and
internationally standardised Modbus protocol. The physical Modbus RTU connection
²
between SIMA and the actuators complies with the EIA-485 standard.

Information Heed the installation instructions for EIA-485 based fieldbus systems and the correct
implementation of the communication connections for all fieldbus devices.
All connections to the actuators are made via cables without connectors. The EIA-485
interface module utilised a proven system of spring clamp terminals. To this end, the
stripped cable ends are directly inserted into the corresponding spring clamp terminal.
Each interface module corresponds to one Modbus interface.
Figure 16: EIA-485 interface module (extract)

Information Verify addressing of fieldbus devices!

● Refrain from assigning twice the Modbus addresses within one network!
● Setting of baud rates and parity bits must be identical for all actuators.
EIA-485 termination resistor

The EIA-485 interface module is equipped with an integral fieldbus termination

resistor. The fieldbus termination resistor can be activated and deactivated using a
switch at the lower interface side. The letter T is illuminated at the LED display once
the fieldbus termination resistor is activated. Fieldbus termination resistors are set
in the factory and may not be modified.
Typical cycle time

The cycle for reading any required information depends on the baud rate, the data
volume to be read and the number of connected actuators.
Typical cycle times for searching the actuator position and reading of the most
important status information:

5.6. Interface to the distributed control system
²
Connection between the DCS and SIMA can be made either via a Modbus RTU
line, Modbus TCP/IP or a combination of both protocols. These connections can also
be provided in redundant topology. In this case, the host can exchange data
independently via both cables (by using channels A or B).
²
For redundant connection to the DCS, SIMA is equipped with respectively two RJ45
slots or EIA-485 interface boards.
²
Figure 17: RJ45 ports of SIMA

Information Check configuration! The DCS settings must be performed according to the available
²
SIMA configuration.

5.7. Fieldbus cable specifications

Fieldbus cables characteristics must be as follows. Stranded in pairs and shielded

copper cables must be used.

Table 12:
Cable recommendation
Only cables complying with the recommendations of EIA-485 specifications should be used for Modbus
wiring.
Impedance 135 to 165 Ohm, at a measurement frequency between 3 and 20 MHz
Cable capacity < 30 pF per metre
Wire diameter > 0.64 mm
Cross section > 0.34 mm², corresponds to AWG 22
Loop resistance < 110 Ohm per km
Screening CU shielding braid or shielding braid and shielding foil

5.8. Redundancy change-over

² ²
If an active SIMA in hot standby version fails, the passive SIMA automatically takes
²
over communication. The active SIMA answers all requests of the DCS and controls
²
fieldbus communication to the actuators.The passive SIMA receives simultaneously
²
all DCS requests without responding. It monitors the active SIMA by means of a
² ²
redundancy link (synchronisation cable). If the active SIMA fails, the passive SIMA
completely takes over all functions and changes into active mode without change-over
delay.

²
If two SIMA subsystems are located in one housing, the LEDs on the left side of the
housing are active for the subsystem installed at the left. The LEDs on the right side
of the housing are active for the subsystem installed at the right. This is the case of
the hot standby system redundancy for example. When dealing with a single Master
²
Station and thus only one SIMA subsystem is installed within one housing, the LEDS
on the left housing side apply for the screen located on the right.
The following LEDs may either be illuminated permanently or flash at a rate of either
200 ms or 500 ms (slow). The following table explains the states signalled by the
LEDs.
