Model SIM-16RC

Supervised Input Module Ribbon Cable

INTRODUCTION The Model SIM-16RC Supervised Input Module Ribbon

Cable from Siemens Industry, Inc., is a remotely located,
general purpose input module. It provides sixteen input
circuits for remote system monitoring. Each input can
only be unsupervised (general-purpose input). The
SIM-16RC has two Form C relays. The relays and the
inputs are programmed by inserting an SIM-16 in the
Zeus Programming Tool.

Inputs must be programmed as unsupervised.

OPERATION The SIM-16RC is mounted in an enclosure that is

remotely located from the Main Panel. Communication
between the SIM-16RC and the NIC-C (Network Interface
Card) or DAC-NET is through the Control Area Network
(CAN) bus. Up to 99 SIM-16RCs can be used with a
single NIC-C or DAC-NET.

Each SIM-16RC 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 or DAC-NET.

Every time a change of state of the input is detected, a
unique CAN message is sent to the NIC-C or DAC-NET. A
CAN message from the NIC-C or DAC-NET directed to
the SIM-16RC controls the Form C relays.

PRE-INSTALLATION Rotary Address Switches - Set the board address for

each SIM-16RC 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 or
DAC-NET and must be the same as the addresses
assigned in the Zeus Programming Tool.

INSTALLATION A SIM-16RC may be installed in a REMBOX. When using REMBOX 2 or 4, mount the

SIM-16RC in one module space on a REMBOX2-MP, P/N 500-634211 or REMBOX4­MP, P/N 500-634212 using the four screws provided. (Refer to REMBOX2-MP/
REMBOX4-MP Installation Instructions, P/N 315-034211.) Up to 4 SIM-16RCs will fit
in a REMBOX2; up to 8 SIM-16RCs will fit in a REMBOX4.

WIRING Refer to Figures 2-5.

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

• Each SIM-16RC module is a node in the CAN bus.

• The SIM-16RC 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 or DAC-NET.

• Each SIM-16RC module is shipped with one CCS cable.

• Cable connections for SIM-16RC modules are shown in the following table:

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.

The ribbon cable for J1 and J2 is to be provided with the external unit.
