The existing basic functions such as Safe Torque Off (STO), Safe Stop 1 (SS1) and Safe Brake Control (SBC) are now complemented by extended functions provided by the new firmware versions V5.1 SP1: Safe Stop 2 (SS2), Safe Operating Stop (SOS), Safely-Limited Speed (SLS), Safe Speed Monitor (SSM), Safe Direction (SDI), and Safe Brake Test (SBT).
Simplified handling of Sinamics V-converters with new frame size and Profinet connectivity
Siemens is extending its Sinamics frequency converter portfolio for standard applications Sinamics V20 to include a new frame size, the FSAC in the voltage range 1AC (Alternating Current) 200 V to 240 V 1.1 kW to 1.5 kW. FSAC is replacing the previous FSB frame (1AC 200V).
Simplified handling of Sinamics V-converters with new frame size and Profinet connectivity
There have also been some innovations in the Sinamics V90 servo drive portfolio, where the smallest frame size FSA is now also available as a Profinet version for 0.1 and 0.2 kW, which are covered by frame size FSB at the moment. These changes have enabled the footprint to be reduced by 10 millimeters, making the V90 FSA frame 18% smaller.
Apps for cloud-based services in automation
Siemens is launching a number of new apps concerning automation with Simatic systems. The new Simatic MindApps Machine Monitor, Notifier and Performance Monitor are special applications for MindSphere, the open IoT operating system from Siemens.

The new G120 Smart Access Module can be used to link mobile devices such as tablets, smartphones or laptops wirelessly over WiFi to Sinamics G120, Sinamics G120C and Sinamics G120P converters.
Siemens industrial communication relies on Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN)
At Hannover Messe 2018, Siemens will be showcasing a trade fair model to demonstrate the advantages of Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN): TSN enables even more robust and reliable Ethernet communication between machines and plants even under high network load conditions.
Increased productivity for machine tools and Motion Control drive systems with MindApps
The Analyze MyDrives MindApp for the Sinamics V20 and V90 converters, Sinamics G modular and compact, and Sinamics S (up to 250 kW) allows machine operators to now also monitor the drive components of their machines. The app captures and analyzes all the relevant operating data.
Increased productivity for machine tools and Motion Control drive systems with MindApps
Manage MyMachines/Remote is a plug-in for the Manage MyMachines MindApp from Siemens which enables remote access to the CNC (Computerized Numerical Control), permitting complete remote control of the CNC by means of failsafe encrypted communication over the Internet.
Optimum machine safety using Extended Safety Integrated functions
Siemens extends the Sinamics S210 servodrive system to include the Extended Safety Integrated functions. The existing basic functions such as Safe Torque Off (STO), Safe Stop 1 (SS1) and Safe Brake Control (SBC) are now complemented by extended functions provided by the new firmware versions V5.1 SP1: Safe Stop 2 (SS2), Safe Operating Stop (SOS), Safely-Limited Speed (SLS), Safe Speed Monitor (SSM), Safe Direction (SDI), and Safe Brake Test (SBT).
Simplified handling of Sinamics V-converters with new frame size and Profinet connectivity
Siemens is extending its Sinamics frequency converter portfolio for standard applications Sinamics V20 to include a new frame size, the FSAC in the voltage range 1AC (Alternating Current) 200 V to 240 V 1.1 kW to 1.5 kW. FSAC is replacing the previous FSB frame (1AC 200V).
Simplified handling of Sinamics V-converters with new frame size and Profinet connectivity
There have also been some innovations in the Sinamics V90 servo drive portfolio, where the smallest frame size FSA is now also available as a Profinet version for 0.1 and 0.2 kW, which are covered by frame size FSB at the moment. These changes have enabled the footprint to be reduced by 10 millimeters, making the V90 FSA frame 18% smaller.
Apps for cloud-based services in automation
Siemens is launching a number of new apps concerning automation with Simatic systems. The new Simatic MindApps Machine Monitor, Notifier and Performance Monitor are special applications for MindSphere, the open IoT operating system from Siemens. These apps will enable users to make easy use of the advantages of cloud-based services and generate added value.
New generation of soft starters for simple to demanding drive requirements
With its Sirius 3RW5 range, Siemens is launching a new generation of soft starters for simple to demanding drive requirements. This comprehensive range of devices for the soft starting of three-phase asynchronous motors from 5.5 to 1,200 kW enables efficient and future-proof machine concepts to be implemented easily and cost-effectively.
Upgraded power supply system now protects against hour-long power failures
Siemens has upgraded its Sitop PSU8600 power supply system with the addition of new supplementary modules to transform it into an uninterruptible direct current (DC) power supply. To achieve this, the new DC UPS module UPS8600 uses the energy stored in BAT8600 battery modules to keep the system up and running in the event of a power failure, and it extends the previous bridging times enabled by the buffer modules from just minutes to hours.
Siemens backs efficient digitalized large-scale production of batteries
Siemens facilitates the efficient large-scale production of batteries with a comprehensive solution portfolio of software-based systems as well as automation and drive technology spanning the entire value chain. The Siemens portfolio ranging from production planning and engineering software to automation and drive technology, including industrial communication networks and cloud-based solutions, helps to optimize every step of battery production and thus improve the competitiveness of battery manufacturers.
