- 5 and 10 ampere power supply for the Simatic ET 200SP
- Flat format for use on distribution boards
- Current monitor for early fault detection and energy management
- Shutdown and isolation of the 24 V supply simplify commissioning and maintenance of the system
Siemens is bringing onto the market the Simatic ET 200SP PS, a single-phase power supply for the Simatic ET 200SP distributed I/O system. The 24 volt power supplies from the Sitop product family supply rated currents of 5 and 10 amperes, and their design, construction and functionality are optimally matched to the distributed controller. An on/off switch for the 24 volts, and plug-in terminals for three load circuits simplify the commissioning and maintenance of the system. The power supply has a current monitor that outputs the momentary output current and enables, for example, optimization of the energy management. A mounting depth of a mere 75 mm allows the power supply to be used on flat distribution boards.

- Underground to surface (drift) conveyor system with gearless drives
- New system extends existing opencast mining
- Copper ore production increased by 95,000 tons per day
Siemens is undertaking the engineering, design, production and supply of the electrical equipment for the Oyu Tolgoi copper mine conveyor system. The delivery comprises the new conveyor system with gearless and conventional drives from thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions. The new system extends the existing opencast mining facility and is expected to bring 95,000 tons of copper ore to the surface per day. The conveyor system has to overcome a difference in height of almost 1,400 meters. Initial production is expected to commence in 2020. The order value is in the tens of millions of Euros.
- Optional I/O module for Sinamics V20 converters
- Sinamics V20 I/O module in Plug&Play design for greater flexibility
- Front and rear ports offer compatibility with additional components
For the smallest converter in its portfolio, the Sinamics V20, Siemens is now offering an extension module for the capture and output of digital and analog signals. The Sinamics V20 I/O extension module is mounted on the converter using Plug&Play technology, and provides two additional input and output interfaces, each for 400 volts., increasing both the flexibility and the scope of the Sinamics V20. Using connecting ports on the front and back, the extension module can also be combined with additional accessories from the Sinamics V20 portfolio. These include for instance the BOP (Basic Operator Panel) and the BOP interface module.

Innovations featured range from new software versions for more efficient engineering through digital drive systems to the open cloud-based IoT operating system MindSphere, which opens up scope for new business models to machine and plant builders. This allows companies across the discrete and process industries to enhance their flexibility, efficiency and speed, for instance by using a "digital twin" to simulate products, production processes or plants and optimize them across the entire value chain.
- Digitalization of low-flow measurement
- Sensor program expansion with DN100 and DN150
- Transmitter with Modbus and Profibus PA profile 4.0 communication
- Suitable for new applications in oil and gas, marine, and chemical
To extend the numerous process-optimizing advantages of the digital Coriolis flowmeter platform to low-flow applications such as batching, dosing and filling of both liquids and gases, the Sitrans FCT030 and FCT010 digital transmitters can now be paired with the Sitrans F C MASS 2100 and Sitrans FC300 Coriolis sensors for small line sizes from DI 1.5 to DN 15. With this major enhancement to the product line, a broad range of users from chemical to automotive applications can benefit from market-leading mass flow accuracy of 0.1%, density accuracy of 0.5 kg/m3 and 100 Hz signal processing. The high-speed update rate ensures the highest precision for applications such as the filling of beverage bottles.
