For secured remote access, the new industrial security appliances can be connected via the Sinema Remote Connect management platform.
- New Booksize Motor Modules for Sinamics S120 series
- Version with double (C-type) and triple (D-type) overload factor
- 24A devices close portfolio gap between 18A and 30A
- New variants offer compact design and higher maximum current
The Booksize Motor Module portfolio has been further developed to include compatible new C and D type Sinamics S120 Booksize Motor Modules. Siemens has added a number of new devices to the existing 3A-30A range. The 24A, 45A and 60A Motor Modules are now available with double overload factor (Continuous C-type), and the 24A modules are additionally available with triple overload factor (Discontinuous D-type). With a 33 percent narrower fit than the existing variants, the new 45A und 60A devices are extremely compact, enabling significant space savings in the control cabinet. The maximum current in the 45A devices has also been increased from 85A to 90A, while the 60A devices now come with a 120A maximum current instead of the previous 113A.A completely new addition to the series are the 24A devices, which will be available as either a C or D type. This closes the gap in the portfolio between 18A and 30A.

- 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.
