• New version 8.0 facilitates integration of Simatic S7-1500 controller as well as mixed operation with Simatic S7-400 controller operation with the Simatic S7-400 controller
• Improved production and batch transparency with new MES reporting options
• Enhanced safety concept with new functions
• Lean Edition for micro breweries and craft brewers

Siemens is presenting a new version of the Braumat brewery process control system at the BrauBeviale in Nuremberg: The latest version 8.0 is based on the Simatic S7-1500 controller and has been optimized in the areas of reporting, weighing systems and security. Already installed Simatic S7-400 controllers can still be used, including in mixed operation. Existing Braumat installations can be expanded or modernized with Simatic S7-1500 controller. Production downtimes caused by new installations are thus avoided.

• Highly compact design, up to 110 kiloamps 
• Maintenance-free up to 10,000 interrupting cycles at current of 15 kA 
• Based on proven HB3 generator platform with vacuum switching tech

Siemens is expanding its HB3 generator circuit-breaker portfolio with a new compact version. The HB3-Compact (HB3-C) offers the possibility for vertical or horizontal mounting and uses maintenance-free vacuum switching technology. These features make it especially valuable for retrofit applications in power plants, where the highest security of supply is crucial, and space is limited due to existing installations. The new system will be presented for the first time at the European Utility Week 2019, taking place in Paris from November 12 to 14.

• Orders increased 7% to €98.0 billion and revenue rose 5% to €86.8 billion; the book-to-bill ratio was 1.13

• Efficient and future-proof maintenance with Predictive Services for Drive Systems
• New Mindsphere Predictive Service Assistance app provides digital support for the service portfolio, while also offering transparency and streamlined ordering processes
• Predictive Services for Drive Systems for increased productivity and reduced downtimes for machines and plants

With Predictive Services for Drive Systems, Siemens presents a standardized extension to the local service agreement at this year’s SPS. This is based on the new Mindsphere Predictive Service Assistance app. It makes maintenance more efficient for Sinamics drive systems and/or Simotics motors in the low voltage range.

• First soft starter series with integrated Safe Torque Off function
• Enhanced protection when shutting down electric motors
• High functional density saves space and decreases cost

Siemens Smart Infrastructure expanded its soft starters portfolio for motors, with the launch of Sirius 3RW55 Failsafe and Sirius 3RW50. Soft starters ensure electrical motors used in industry and infrastructure are protected during startup and ramp-down. The Sirius 3RW55 Failsafe soft starters are the first to feature the integrated Safe Torque Off (STO) function. As specified in safety standards, the protection function for electrical drive systems ensures that torque-generating energy stops acting when motors are turned off, preventing an unwanted restart. Control panel manufacturers no longer require using separate individual components to have this function, which reduces the time and effort for wiring and maintenance works and saves space in the control cabinet. In addition, the switching time of the integrated solution is significantly shorter than for conventional, electromechanical components.

• First order from Asia for HL-class gas turbine
• New power plant with a capacity of more than one gigawatt
• Efficiency rating of more than 63 percent 

Siemens will set up a high-efficiency HL-class power island for a new combined cycle power plant (CCPP) in South Korea. This will be the first two state-of-the-art HL-class gas turbines that Siemens will supply to a customer in Asia. The new plant, which will be built in Yeoju, in South Korea’s Gyeonggi Province, will run on regasified liquefied natural gas (LNG) and offer a generating capacity of more than one gigawatt. With a maximum efficiency rating of more than 63 percent the gas turbine will allow the power station to get the most out of the valuable LNG for electricity generation, enabling especially economical and environmentally friendly operation. The customer is South Korean EPC SK Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd., which is constructing the entire plant for the independent power producer Yeoju Energy Services. 

• New Simotics HV M slipring motors provide range of power up to 4.5 MW
