SIMA²

SIMA² Master Station is AUMA’s performing platform for the control and supervision of actuators via standardised fieldbus systems. The system optimises communication between host and field level and caters for efficient processes within the installation.

Configuration, operation and asset management of actuators and other field devices are simplified. A large variety of redundancy options maximises plant availability. Comprehensive diagnostic functions ensure perfect installation overview.
