Model SIM-16
Supervised Input Module

INTRODUCTION

The Model SIM-16 Supervised Input Module from Siemens Industry, Inc., is a remotely located, general purpose input module. It provides sixteen input circuits for remote  system monitoring. Each input can be individually programmed as supervised (dry contacts only) or unsupervised (general-purpose input). The SIM-16 has two Form C  relays. The relays and the inputs are programmable using the Zeus Programming Tool.

OPERATION

The SIM-16 is mounted in an enclosure that is remotely located from the Main Panel. Communication between the SIM-16 and the NIC-C (Network Interface Card) is through the Control Area Network (CAN) bus. Up to 99 SIM-16s can be used with a single NIC-C.
Each SIM-16 has two 10-position rotary switches that are used to set the board address on the CAN which is a sub-address of the NIC-C.
Every time a change of state of the input is detected, a unique CAN message is sent to the NIC-C. A CAN message from the NIC-C directed to the SIM-16 controls the  Form C relays.

PRE-INSTALLATION

Rotary Address Switches – Set the board address for each SIM-16 using both of the ten-position rotary switches located on the board (See Figure 1). Each of these  addresses must be a sub-address of the NIC-C and must be the same as the addresses assigned in the Zeus Programming Tool.

INSTALLATION

A SIM-16 may be installed in a REMBOX. When using REMBOX 2 or 4, mount the SIM-16 in one module space on a REMBOX2-MP, P/N 500-634211 or REMBOX4- MP, P/N 500-634212 using the four screws provided. (Refer to REMBOX2-MP/REMBOX4MP Installation Instructions, P/N 315-034211.) Up to 4 SIM-16s will fit in a REMBOX2; up to 8 SIM-16s will fit in a REMBOX4.

WIRING
Remove all system power before installation, first battery then AC. (To power up, connect the AC first, then the battery.)

• Each SIM-16 module is a node in the CAN bus.
• The SIM-16 can be installed with or without an RNI. Connect the CAN bus and 24V as shown in Figures 2 and 3.
• Up to 99 CAN modules, in any combination, can be connected to the CAN bus of each NIC-C.
• Each SIM-16 module is shipped with one CCS cable.
• Cable connections for SIM-16 modules are shown in the following table:

CCS| CAN-CABLE-Short 5% in., 6-conductor| 555-133539| Connects SIM-16 modules to SIM-16 or OCM-16 modules in a single row

The CAN bus requires a 120S termination at each end of the loop. Refer to the NIC-C Installation Instructions, P/N 315-033240 for details about CAN termination.
