“Industrial 5G is the gateway to an all-encompassing, wireless network for production, maintenance, and logistics. High data rates, ultra-reliable transmission, and extremely low latencies will allow significant increases in efficiency and flexibility in industrial added value,” says Eckard Eberle (right), CEO Process Automation at Siemens.

High data rates, ultra-reliable transmission, and extremely low latencies will allow significant increases in efficiency and flexibility in industrial added value,” says Eckard Eberle, CEO Process Automation at Siemens.

“5G is 10 to 20 times faster than today’s LTE and consumes only one-thousandth of the amount of energy per bit transferred. Low latencies, extremely high bandwidths, control over one’s own data, having control over the network performance – private networks open up previously unimagined opportunities for industry,” says Sander Rotmensen (links), Head of Product Management for Industrial Wireless Communication at Siemens.

With Siemens Industrial Edge, Siemens offers a digitalization solution that adds machine-level data processing to automation devices, by taking the intelligence of Edge computing and thus, sophisticated analytics securely to manufacturing level. Siemens Industrial Edge offers users the opportunity to execute a wide range of descriptive, diagnostic, predictive and prescriptive analytics applications. Cloud connectivity is used in conjunction with Edge apps from Siemens, from third-party providers or from users themselves in an integrated hardware and software ecosystem for automation components.

With the new TIA Portal V16 (Totally Integrated Automation Portal), Siemens has expanded its engineering framework with practical new functions for various phases from planning, to engineering, to commissioning. The innovations concentrate on the continuous integration of the development process. These include standardization, integrated engineering spread across teams and an integrated function test. This enables users to increase the quality of their software, shorten commissioning times and reduce engineering costs.

Siemens and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. have implemented the first private 5G standalone (SA) network in a real industrial environment using the 3.7-3.8GHz band. Both companies have joined forces in this project: Siemens is providing the actual industrial test conditions and end devices such as Simatic control systems and IO devices and Qualcomm Technologies is supplying the 5G test network and the relevant test equipment. The 5G network was installed in Siemens’ Automotive Showroom and Test Center in Nuremberg. Automated guided vehicles are (AGV) displayed here which are primarily used in the automotive industry. New manufacturing options and methods are also developed, tested and presented before they are put into action on customer sites. This allows Siemens’ customers, such as automated guided vehicle manufacturers, to see the products interact live.

Siemens Smart Infrastructure is adding four new devices to its portfolio of Simatic ET 200SP motor starters, which can be used to start electric drives with a power output from 0.1 to 0.4 amperes (A). These types of drives are found in fans and coolant pumps, for example. The compact motor starters are installed in control cabinets and are designed to start single and three-phase motors of machines and systems, protecting them against overloads and short-circuits. They are each available in standard and safety variants.

At SPS 2019, Siemens presents its latest solutions for smart and networked drive technology.

The new Sinumerik One CNC generation is at the heart of digital transformation for machine tools. As a digital native, the controller features not only a new hardware platform, but also versatile software for the creation of a digital twin. It closes the gap between the virtual and the real world and helps to reduce development and commissioning times considerably.

Simatic Micro-Drive F-TM Servodrive is the newest member of the Simatic Micro-Drive family. The servo drive system comprises a Simatic Micro-Drive F-TM Servodrive drive controller module, the Simatic ET 200SP and universal motors and plug-in cables. It adds to the Simatic Micro-Drive PDC (ProfiDriveControl) and completes the drive portfolio in the protective extra-low voltage range for EC motors from 24 to 48 volts. The drive controller module supports dynamic and accurate positioning in a small amount of space in the performance range up to 280 watts.

Siemens Smart Infrastructure has added the 7KM PAC3220 and 7KM PAC3120 measuring devices to its Sentron power monitoring portfolio. These devices capture energy and system data from buildings, infrastructure and industrial facilities and transfer them via standard communication protocols to higher-level energy management, automation and IoT systems. This data can then be used to identify energy hogs, detect system malfunctions as early as possible and proactively prevent downtimes. This allows companies to sustainably boost their energy efficiency and system availability. The new devices offer higher accuracy than the previous models and have a new design.

Transparency for spare parts and servicing as well as increased servicing efficiency based on predictive analytics. 

Siemens Smart Infrastructure expanded its soft starters portfolio for motors, with the launch of Sirius 3RW55 Failsafe and Sirius 3RW50.

At “SPS – Smart Production Solutions” 2019, Siemens is presenting industry-specific applications and future technologies for digital transformation in the manufacturing and process industry under the slogan “Digital Enterprise – Thinking industry further!”. At the heart of the over 4000 square meter booth are products, solutions and services from the Digital Enterprise portfolio, which help customers to reduce their time-to-market and to increase productivity, flexibility and environmental efficiency.

At the "SPS – Smart Production Solutions" 2019, Siemens will present a completely new overall system for industrial operator control and monitoring. The web-based visualization system consists initially the Simatic WinCC Unified visualization software as well as the new generation of HMI panels, Simatic HMI Unified Comfort Panels.
