Siemens supports OPC Foundation Initiative to extend OPC UA, including TSN down to the field level
Siemens welcomes the initiative previously published by the OPC Foundation to further enable OPC UA adoption throughout industrial automation by extending standardization and harmonization activities for OPC UA, including TSN-enabled Ethernet networks at the field level.
Protecting pumps in hazardous areas easily and reliably against dry running
A new type of detection technology from Siemens protects centrifugal pumps from dry running in hazardous areas. For this purpose, the corporation has developed special current/voltage detection modules for its Simocode pro motor management system.
Sinamics Connect 300 for simple connection of Sinamics LV converters to the IT world
The new Sinamics Connect 300 from Siemens provides a simple plug-and-play solution for integrating converters of the Sinamics family into the IT world. The new solution is suitable for low-voltage converters and supports cloud-based digitalization solutions.
New Sinamics G120X converter series specializing in infrastructure applications
Siemens will be presenting a brand new converter series at this year's SPS IPC Drives. The converters of the new Sinamics G120X series are especially suited for use in pump and fan applications in sectors such as water/wastewater, building technology or also in industrial environments.
Flexible KS adapter links Simogear gear units to different servomotors
Siemens has launched a new coupling adapter for linking Simogear gear units to Siemens servomotors. As the flexible new solution can connect different gear unit types to different servomotors rather than using a separate dedicated adapter for each motor, the new solution radically simplifies handling.
New version (3.0) of Safety Library improves storage and retrieval system performance
Siemens has upgraded its TÜV-certified Safety Library developed specifically for use with storage and retrieval systems. The benefits of Safety Library V3.0 for users include faster commissioning and compatibility with a wider range of failsafe Simatic controllers (from S7-1516F).
Extended output and connected voltage variants for Sinamics S210
Siemens is extending its Sinamics S210 single-axis servo drive system for mid-range applications to include a number of additional output and connected voltage variants. In the first of the new frame sizes, the system is available with an output of 0.4 to one kilowatt with 3 AC 400 volts.
Compact Industrial PC Simatic IPC127E connects machines with each other and with the cloud
Siemens has expanded its product portfolio of Simatic industrial PCs to include the Simatic IPC127E. The newly developed industrial PC is suitable, for example, for use as a gateway and enables data to be managed directly in the production environment.
Artificial Intelligence for Simatic
Siemens is launching onto the market a new module for the Simatic S7-1500 controller and the ET 200MP I/O system, which has a chip with artificial intelligence (AI) capability: The S7-1500 TM NPU (neural processing unit) is equipped with the Intel Movidius Myriad X Vision processing unit, thus enabling the efficient processing of neural networks.
Simatic IPC227E: New hardware platform for Edge applications
At the SPS IPC Drives 2018 in Nuremberg, Siemens will be showcasing a newly developed hardware platform for edge applications as part of its Siemens Industrial Edge concept: The compact Simatic Edge Device works on the basis of the embedded industrial PC Simatic IPC227E and features integrated connectivity to automation on the machine level.
High-performance programming device with rugged hardware for mobile engineering
The latest generation of ready-to-use, high-performance programming devices from Siemens has been optimized for engineering with the TIA Portal and designed for mobile use in machines and plants for configuration, commissioning, service, and maintenance.

Simotics HV C air-cooled: Innovative cooling concept for greater power density
With Simotics HV C air-cooled, Siemens completes the Simotics HV C platform for compact high-voltage motors. The motors can be connected to the Sidrive IQ digital platform using the Simotics Connect 600 connector box.
New power supply for a wide variety of applications
Siemens is bringing a new line of particularly powerful and rugged power supplies to the market: The devices of the Sitop PSU6200 line can be used for a variety of purposes and offer extensive functions for targeted diagnostics, fast assembly and reliable operation.
Siemens extends RFID portfolio with compact reader for space-saving uses
Siemens is extending its range of Simatic RF600 ultra-high frequency (UHF) devices to include a new RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) reader. The Simatic RF615R comes with a particularly compact design (133 x 155 x 45 millimeters), an internal, circularly polarized antenna and an additional external antenna connection. Using the connection for the additional external antenna, it is possible to set up a cost-efficient small-scale RFID gate.
New device series paves the way for high frequency RFID cloud connection
Siemens is extending its portfolio of Simatic Ident communication modules. The first devices of the new series to launch are the Simatic RF185C, RF186C and RF188C. Available options allow one, two or four readers to be connected and operated via Ethernet/Profinet, ensuring a match to the required number of readers.
Industrial Security Appliances with extended functionality for even better network protection
Siemens has extended the functions of the firmware of the new Scalance SC-600 Industrial Security Appliances. They now have a Bridge Firewall, support redundant network structures and allow user-specific firewalls.
Sidrive IQ digital platform: Optimized performance into the megawatt range
Sidrive IQ from Siemens provides a digital platform enabling the evaluation and utilization of data gathered from drive systems. On the basis of networked drive systems from Siemens, this cloud-based application is now also available for motors and converters in the medium and high-voltage range.
