- New 3RS2 product series for monitoring the temperature of gases, liquids, and solids in industrial and infrastructure installations
- Overall width was cut in half and allows space-saving installation
- Combining functions into one device simplifies order selection
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has transformed the temperature monitoring relays from its Sirius portfolio. The new series 3RS2 devices are available in analog and digital versions. They use sensors to measure the temperature in industrial control cabinets, of engine, bearing, and transmission oils, or cooling liquids, preventing plant malfunctions or damage that can result when exceeding or dropping below certain limit values. These relays can also monitor heating, air-conditioning, and ventilation systems, solar collectors, heat pumps, and hot water supply systems.The devices in the new Sirius 3RS2 series
are approved for safety applications up to SIL 1 / PL c, for use in industrial
furnaces, as well as for monitoring burners and ATEX applications, among other
things. Compared to the predecessor models, they feature expanded
functionalities, a narrower design, and easier operability.
- Contactless temperature measurement at main entry points in buildings
- Integrates into workflow of existing security and access solutions
- Increases protection of building occupants
Siemens Smart Infrastructure announced the launch of Siveillance Thermal Shield. This solution package quickly measures the body temperature of a person seeking to access a building and enables the results to be integrated into the video and access systems of corporations. Thermal imaging cameras are used to measure, in a contactless way, the body temperature at a distance of up to two meters, ensuring the safety of monitoring staff. If the camera screening indicates an elevated body temperature, a second reading must be taken using a medical thermometer to confirm the finding.

- Single-phase 480-watt basic unit expands Sitop PSU8600 product line
- Four integrated monitored outputs of five amperes each (DC 24 V, 20 A/4x5)
- Modular expansion for monitoring up to 36 outputs
- Comprehensive diagnostic and maintenance information via integrated Ethernet/Profinet interfaces
Siemens is expanding its modular Sitop PSU8600 power supply system to include a new single-phase 480-watt basic unit. The new product features four integrated monitored outputs with a total of 24 volts DC at five amperes per output. Each output is flexible and can be set during operation in a range between 4 and 28 volts either manually or remotely via software. This eliminates the need for additional power supply units to supply five or twelve volt loads. The CNX8600 expansion module can be used to monitor up to 36 total outputs. Thanks to its integration into the TIA (Totally Integrated Automation) Portal engineering framework, fast implementation in to the automation is supported. In addition, the Sitop Manager provides easy parameterization and diagnostics. Comprehensive diagnostic and maintenance information are also available via the two integrated Ethernet/Profinet interfaces and via OPC UA, and can be evaluated directly in the automation systems. This means that errors can be located quickly and reduces downtime.
- New “Location Intelligence” software expands Simatic RTLS locating platform to include digital twin of performance
- Visualized real-time analyses create potential for optimization and facilitate rapid decision-making
- Provides customers with overview of material flow and order information
Siemens introduces new “Location Intelligence” software, which expands the Simatic RTLS (Real-Time Locating System) locating platform to include the digital twin of performance. The web-based software analyzes and visualizes dynamic data, processes events, and can be addressed directly from local ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) or MES (Manufacturing Execution System) systems. The intelligence acquired based on position data provides the user with a comprehensive overview of material flow, order information or possible problem areas.
