S.I.C.E.S. SRL is the Italian leader Company in the eld of design, manufacturing, supply
and start -up of ELECTRIC CONTROL PANELS and ELECTRONIC DEVICES f
equipped with diesel, gas or biofuel engines.

With more than 30 years experience , SICES SRL has become one of the most important
European companies able to supply its products all over the world.

All products are indoor made star ng from the simplest controllers for Automa c
Mains Failure gensets to the most advanced control units for gensets running in
parallel each others with or without the Mains.

S.I.C.E.S. SRL is a dynamic Company which can provide a competent technical

-
assistance during the start up of plants, nal tests, maintenance and commission
ac vi es and also o ers a prompt interven on for repairs.

In addi on, due to the central a en on paid on “zero environmental impact” power
plants, S.I.C.E.S. SRL has developed and reached compe veness and a high
technology level, believing, not betrayed, in investments made in the eld of
renewable sources.

By means of the acquired experience with avant -garde skills, S.I.C.E.S. SRL owns a
patent for the produc on of bio -methane . A large number of genera on units
designed and supplied by S.I.C.E.S. are in fact installed in land lls where engines and
gas turbines are fed by the gas which is recovered from the land ll itself and treated
(BIOGAS).

The GSM kit allows to control and manage the Gen Set
everywhere you are, even if you are far from your o ce.
Thanks to the GSM Kit, it’s possible carry out the
connec on removing expensive subscrip ons.
Thought SMS the user can receive informa on about the Gen
set status and measures and there is the possibility of
changing the parameters sending a SMS to the plant.

MODBUS TCP/RTU GATEWAY makes easy to connect one or

more MODBUS RTU devices to an ETHERNET network. The
gateway can manage up to 32 RTU server (slave) devices.
Di erent kind of RTU devices can be freely mixed on the
gateway output line. Concurrent TCP sockets and concurrent
MODBUS transac on for each TCP socket are supported,
allowing communica on to RTU devices at the same me
from di erent point in the network and from di erent
applica ons.

DITEL is a modular input/output expander system using a

MODBUS RTU interface protocol over RS485 physical
interface.
Each system is made up of one 16 INPUT module and
(op onally) one or two 8 OUPTUT modules, for a total of 16
inputs and 16 outputs.

RS232/485 CONVERTER

This converter is customized to convert data from RS232 to

RS485 allowing in that way the connec on of remote
supervision so ware and to transmit data to a distance
more than 10mt far from the local control panel.

ROUTER GSM

It’s an electronic device born to o er a customized remote

control of the plant.
The Router GSM allows the control from a remote point of a
power plant comprising many generators opera ng in

SicesSupervisor is an applica on
developed on PCs in a Windows
environment for the supervision of
generator sets controlled by SICES
s.r.l. control units.

This applica on is designed to

provide customers with an
-f p m ,
which allows them to monitor plant
parameters and measurements.

It can manage all the plants using SICES controllers: Th

m p p , m p , p w pp p p p
p h m .

This applica on has an h h

that allows to the user a
simultaneously management of many plants
in the meanwhile.

Measurements and parameters are

acquired and stored with procedures that
can be programmed by the user (the
default con gura ons are already
excellent). These data can be stored in
standard formats to allow the user to le
and process them easily even outside the applica on.

SI S p b 6

Any of the communica on devices on the

PC can be used to communicate with the
boards: RS-232 p , Eh w k ,
m m , ISDN, GSM, etc. This is
possible thanks to the fact that
SicesSupervisor uses the opera ng
system supports to manage
communica on.
