Siemens presents an innovative motor management system for industrial switchgear
- Optimized space utilization and innovative Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) communication physics for withdrawable cabinet design
- Scalable functionality enabled by licensed device features
- Reduced installation costs
Siemens has launched SIMOCODE M-CP, an efficient and future-oriented product series for motor operation management, specifically tailored for Motor Control Centers (MCC). The new product line complements the existing SIMOCODE portfolio and has been designed to optimally meet MCC requirements. SIMOCODE M-CP sets a new industry standard with its compact design, advanced functionality, and compatibility with Ethernet-based communication.
In the future, SIMOCODE M-CP can be adapted to various operational needs through the purchase of licenses that unlock additional functionalities depending on the application.
Motor Control Centers are designed to efficiently distribute power to motors, enable precise control and monitoring, and provide protection against overloads, short circuits, and other electrical faults. These solutions are used in industries such as chemical, paper, steel, mining, water and wastewater, and infrastructure.
SIMOCODE M-CP
Space-saving and flexible installationThe new SIMOCODE M-CP is optimized for withdrawable modules in low-voltage switchgear. With the option to choose between front panel mounting and DIN rail mounting, this versatile device allows for efficient space utilization and reduced installation costs. More integrated functions in the base unit reduce the need for variety. Six digital inputs and four relay outputs eliminate the need for additional modules.
Advanced communication with Single Pair Ethernet technologyTo enable fast and reliable data transmission, SIMOCODE M-CP uses Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) technology. This new bus physics ensures uninterrupted Ethernet communication and meets the operational needs of switchgear while reducing wiring complexity. Communication with the withdrawable module is carried out via just two wires.
Future-proof technology with reloadable and licensable functionsIn the future, SIMOCODE M-CP can be adapted to various operational requirements through the purchase of licenses that enable additional functionalities depending on the application. This reduces the need to purchase and install separate components and makes the system future-proof. One example is the integration of condition monitoring directly into the motor management system itself. This eliminates the need for separate sensors. Key drive operating parameters can now be monitored using current and voltage measurement modules, simplifying configuration. By purchasing a license, users can activate data delivery via SIMOCODE M-CP to enable advanced motor current signature analysis (MCSA) or use artificial intelligence to detect anomalies and faults in machines, streamlining processes and increasing reliability.

Built-in sustainabilityIn addition to using recycled materials for production and packaging, the high product quality results in long service life. Thanks to numerous diagnostic functions, SIMOCODE M-CP can help increase system availability and extend motor lifespan by providing early warnings in case of irregularities. Long-term firmware updates also help ensure that SIMOCODE M-CP remains functional and up-to-date for many years.
