IMCC panel consists of feeders which are the same as that in MCC panel, but only differs by a device called SIMOCODE. It is a controller-type device of Siemens make which communicates all the electrical data from the feeder to the PLC or any other control device through any common protocol like Profibus or Profinet.
There are other devices available too of different makes, but SIMOCODE is a pioneer in IMCC panels and is widely used. The working is the same for all the devices of different makes.
Refer to the above image. To get a clear idea, let us understand the basic difference between IMCC and MCC.
All the wiring from relays, contactors, and energy meters will directly go from them to PLC.
Smart Motor Control Centers (iMCC) represent the future of industrial automation. Unlike conventional MCCs, they utilize communication protocols to report parameters like voltage, current, power factor, and thermal status in real-time.
