With the combination of the already well-established digitally connected transformer, the Sensformer, and the new Sensgear technology, all substation transmission assets are now fully connective, allowing operators to check their status via online applications in real time. Gas-insulated switchgear, circuit breakers, surge arresters, disconnectors, instrument transformers, and coil products will henceforth be equipped with Sensgear technology. All devices are connected via a smart and robust Internet of Things (IoT) gateway that securely transmits the required information to a cloud-based storage and visualization platform. All Sensgear products provide additional transparency with GPS and local weather information as well as product-specific measurement data that includes gas density, liquid temperature, gas leakage, and switching position.</IntroText></Intro><Taxonomy name="press_business"><Entry id="2">Gas and Power</Entry></Taxonomy></TeaserBlock></RefLink>

With the new version, users benefit from numerous enhancements such as edge functionality. With an end-to-end secured site integration and light weight installation, this provides easy and secure access to remote/distributed data from all production (operation) and enterprise levels. The new version also enables enhanced operations by simplifying the integration of engineering data: interfaces with Siemens or third party solutions, such as Comos, Comos Walkinside, PlantSight, Teamcenter and more, are now improved and easily integrated into the system. In addition, the new HTML5-based web browser client is compatible with existing solutions. Version 6.0 no longer requires a Java browser plug-in (Java applet) for the full desktop environment, i.e. can run as a HTML5 compatible browser solution. Server virtualization support is available, which enables multiple operating systems to run on a single physical server. This increases business efficiency and overall performance. </IntroText></Intro><Taxonomy name="press_business"><Entry id="4">Digital Industries</Entry></Taxonomy></TeaserBlock></RefLink>

This used to take days and sometimes even weeks. With the new digital twin in the Siprotec 5 series from Siemens, tests can now be carried out before or while setting up the hardware. This significantly shortens the time to system operation. Project data can now be simulated and tested individually in a cloud in just minutes, with no hardware or additional effort. This also lowers operating costs, since improved preliminary inspections can shorten downtimes and thus increase system availability.</IntroText></Intro></TeaserBlock></RefLink>

"Clean Air" is an insulating gas consisting only of the natural constituents of ambient air. The new gas-insulated load-break switchgear (ring main unit) thus combines the sustainability of the "blue GIS" portfolio with the benefits of the proven 8DJH product family. The switchgear is used in public and industrial power grids on the secondary distribution level.</IntroText></Intro></TeaserBlock></RefLink>

The solution has an output range from 0.55 to 4 kilowatts and is available for Sinamics G110M, G120D, G120 and S120 converters. Its efficiency class is comparable to IE4 and it is particularly impressive when operating under partial load when compared to asynchronous motors due to its greater efficiency and lower losses. In addition, the drive system is characterized by high dynamics due to the low moment of inertia and optimized control. Commissioning is also quick and easy – simply enter the motor code into the converter. An external fan is not required due to the constant torque/speed curve up to the nominal speed and the drive system is certificated to CE, UL/CSA and CCC is in preparation.</IntroText></Intro></TeaserBlock></RefLink>

Operation is made much easier in firmware V5.2 through the integration of the web server. The web server in version V5.2 has a new, responsive design, which reacts via standard web browsers regardless of the end device used (notebook, PC, tablet or smartphone). For commissioning typical diagnostics and maintenance functions or servicing, no special tools are required. The web pages are available in six standard languages and feature error indicators and warning messages including meaningful help texts and suggestions for possible solutions. Users can intuitively create, manage and delete parameter lists - even across axes - and can perform firmware updates and system restores with the old firmware version. Backups of parameter settings can be stored on the clients using the web server and browser, and reloaded in the Sinamics converter using the Restore function. In order to test functions that are subject to license, it is possible to activate a temporary trial mode. In addition, a complete overview of all functions that are subject to license is clearly displayed in the web server. For optimum display on any Internet-capable end device, the best browsers are Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Safari. Navigation is via menu or breadcrumbs.</IntroText></Intro></TeaserBlock></RefLink>

This will allow size AH100 to AH450 low-voltage motors operated directly from the mains to transmit operating data straight to the cloud-based Sidrive IQ Fleet App without the need for any structural modifications. Regular data analysis allows plant operators to quickly and efficiently oversee the operational status of their drive systems and plan a servicing schedule based on actual requirement. This not only improves efficiency, but also optimizes serviceability and extends service life. Typical applications requiring monitored low-voltage motors include pumps, fans and compressors.</IntroText></Intro></TeaserBlock></RefLink>

They are available as rack, box or panel PCs. The newly developed IPCs with their enhanced enclosure concept facilitate the processing and storage of large volumes of data as well as sophisticated visualization tasks. They are suitable for use both in control rooms or as machine-level systems in data-intensive processes – wherever fast measuring, open-loop and closed-loop control tasks need to be implemented or where visualization solutions with up to 6 monitors are required. The enclosure concept is compatible with its predecessors, so the IPCs can be installed in existing systems with no additional effort required.</IntroText></Intro></TeaserBlock></RefLink>

The software is part of the Sentron portfolio from Siemens for energy management in industrial plants and buildings, and assists companies in boosting their energy efficiency and availability. It displays status information and electrical characteristics for complete plants and systems as well as individual devices in a clearly-arranged dashboard and analyzes energy flows. This allows for derivation of optimization measures for energy efficiency and availability and for quick pinpointing of faults in the plants. The integration of data in cloud systems enables the storage, processing and the cross-site analysis of large volumes of data. The power monitoring software is optimally suited for small to medium-sized companies seeking to implement digital energy management. The investment costs are low and can be quickly amortized through savings potential. The new version of the powermanager will be presented at Hannover Messe 2019 and is available from May 2019.</IntroText></Intro></TeaserBlock></RefLink>

Thanks to the intelligent data collector, power and system data from up to 40 connected measuring and protection devices can be collected and transmitted, among other destinations, to local energy management systems or directly into open, cloud-based IoT operating systems such as MindSphere. The data is pre-processed and bundled in packets, which reduces the transmission volume. The processing, visualization and evaluation of the data occur using an integrated Web interface, the powermanager power monitoring software or special cloud applications. The 7KN powercenter3000 enables even small and medium-sized companies a quick, flexible and economical introduction into cloud-based energy management. Thanks to the systematic detection and analysis of data, operations become more energy efficient and fail-safe. The expansion of existing power monitoring systems with a cloud connection is easily possible at any time. The IoT data platform 7KN powercenter3000, will be showcased for the first time at the Hannover Messe 2019 and is available starting in June 2019.</IntroText></Intro></TeaserBlock></RefLink>
