SIMOCODE

Siemens SIMOCODE pro is the motor management and control device family within the SIRIUS portfolio, designed to monitor, protect, and control low-voltage motors in process and manufacturing environments. SIMOCODE pro devices integrate motor protection, control, and communication into a single DIN rail-mounted unit, connecting to the automation controller via PROFIBUS DP or other fieldbus interfaces. The 3UF7 series is the confirmed product line within this collection, covering basic devices, operator panels, USB communication cables, and software packages for PCS 7 integration.

PLC Direct supplies Siemens SIMOCODE pro hardware to maintenance teams managing existing motor management installations. Our collection covers SIMOCODE pro V basic devices, operator panels with display, USB communication cables, and PCS 7 software integration packages.

Where Siemens SIMOCODE Are Used

A failed SIMOCODE pro basic device in a motor feeder circuit removes protection, monitoring, and fieldbus communication for that motor point until a replacement is installed. In large process facilities with dozens or hundreds of motor feeders managed through SIMOCODE, the ability to quickly source a specific 3UF7 device is a direct factor in how quickly a failed motor circuit can be returned to service.

Facilities that depend on Siemens SIMOCODE pro hardware include:

• Process plants using SIMOCODE pro for centralized motor management across pump, fan, and compressor feeders

• Facilities running SIMATIC PCS 7 process control systems with SIMOCODE pro integrated via the PCS 7 block library for operator interface and diagnostics

• Chemical and petrochemical plants managing large numbers of individually controlled motors through PROFIBUS DP-connected SIMOCODE pro devices.

• Water and wastewater utilities using SIMOCODE pro for pump protection and remote monitoring at treatment and pumping stations

• Mining operations managing conveyor drive motor feeders through SIMOCODE pro protection and control.

• Facilities requiring operator panel replacements for existing SIMOCODE pro V installations where front-panel control access has failed

When a SIMOCODE pro device, operator panel, or communication cable needs to be replaced to restore a motor circuit, having available stock outside standard OEM channels shortens the repair window.

What to Know Before You Buy Siemens SIMOCODE

Ordering the correct SIMOCODE pro component requires matching the device series, the fieldbus interface, and the supply voltage. For operator panels and communication accessories, confirming compatibility with the installed basic device variant avoids fitment and connectivity issues.

Hardware condition options: PLC Direct supplies SIMOCODE hardware as surplus sealed, refurbished, and used. Surplus sealed units are factory-sealed stock; refurbished units have been tested and restored to operational condition.

Fieldbus interface: The 3UF7010-1AU00-0 basic device in this collection uses a PROFIBUS DP interface. SIMOCODE pro is also available in PROFINET and other interface variants, each with a different part number. Confirm the fieldbus type used in the installed panel before ordering.

Supply voltage: The confirmed basic device in this collection accepts 110-240 V AC/DC. Verify the control voltage in the panel against this range before ordering to ensure compatibility.

Operator panel installation: The 3UF7210-1AA00-0 operator panel plugs directly onto a SIMOCODE pro V basic unit or extension module. It is not a standalone device and requires an installed SIMOCODE pro V basic unit as the host. This part number carries PM500 (Discontinued Product) lifecycle status and is supplied as a legacy replacement for existing installations.

Software migration scope: The PCS 7 block library (3UF7982-0AA20-0) is a migration package for upgrading SIMOCODE pro integration from PCS 7 V7 to PCS 7 V8.0 through V9.0. It is a single-license engineering title and includes runtime software for execution in the automation system. It does not cover PCS 7 versions outside the V8.0–V9.0 range without additional licensing.

Warranty: All Siemens SIMOCODE hardware purchased from PLC Direct includes a standard 1-year warranty covering defects and functionality, applicable to surplus sealed, refurbished, and used products.
