- Voltage variant of Sinamics G120X for USA and Latin America
- Save space with new size for the Sinamics V20
- Adapter kit to physically and thermally separate power module and control unit for Sinamics G120
With numerous innovations, Siemens is extending its drive portfolio, improving user-friendliness and offering space-saving installation options. The Sinamics G120X converter, designed specifically for use in water/wastewater applications and in HVAC systems, is now also available in a three-phase 3AC 200V voltage variant in the power range up to 55 kW. This means that the converters can now be integrated seamlessly into applications in the USA and in Latin America. Due to its robust construction and the coating of the PCBs according to 3C3 standard the converter is suitable for harsh environments. The new module for extending the digital and analog inputs and outputs increases the flexibility and the optimal control of converter-guided applications. The Sinamics G120X now also supports the communication protocols Profibus, Modbus RTU, USS and BACnet MS/TP. It is equipped with extensive interfaces and can be easily integrated into existing or new systems.

- Seven four-car Desiro Mainline trainsets ordered
- To serve in the Verkehrsgesellschaft Mecklenburg-Vorpommern rail network
- Subsequent capacity expansion to four-car trainsets ensures sustainable value creation over the entire lifecycle
Alpha Trains, the European continent’s largest leasing company for rail rolling stock, has ordered seven Desiro Mainline (ML) regional trains from Siemens Mobility. Ostdeutsche Eisenbahn GmbH (ODEG) will lease the trains for service in the rail network Baltic coast east operated from December 2019 onwards by the ODEG on behalf of Verkehrsgesellschaft Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (VMV). The production has already started at the Siemens Mobility train manufacturing facility in Krefeld. “Alpha Trains ordered the Desiro ML as its first customer many years ago and we are pleased that this proven and reliable platform is also used for this project” said Thomas Schmidt, Managing Director of Alpha Trains Europa GmbH.
- New power output module boosts HCS4300 heating control system performance
- HCS4200: space-saving solution for use in flat control cabinets with new CIM4210C central interface module
- Simple, convenient engineering and commissioning of industrial heating processes with TIA Portal
Siemens
has equipped the modular Siplus HCS heating control systems for
switching and controlling heater fields and elements with a new power output
module (POM) and a central interface module (CIM). With more power per output
and a space-saving solution for mounting in flat control cabinets, the flexible
heating control system is now even more versatile, and can be used for example
in applications with heat registers.
- Shorter development and commissioning times
- Software libraries enable standardization
- Commissioning tests on virtual test rack
The new Sinumerik One CNC generation is at the heart of digital transformation for machine tools. As a digital native, the controller features not only a new hardware platform, but also versatile software for the creation of a digital twin. It closes the gap between the virtual and the real world and helps to reduce development and commissioning times considerably.
- ETCS approval for Baseline 3 in Germany and Sweden
- Improved availability thanks to intelligent infrastructure
- Approval for other countries to follow
Germany’s Federal Railway Authority (EBA) has approved the Vectron locomotive for operating in Germany with the European Train Control System (ETCS) Baseline 3. Approval for Sweden has already been received. Additional countries will follow.
Siemens has recently been contacted by groups and individuals expressing their opinion on the Adani Carmichael coal mine project in Queensland, Australia.
- Next generation of Simatic ET
200eco PN: New functions for modern machine concepts and requirements
- For use in redundant,
high-availability systems thanks to S2 redundancy
- High current-carrying capacity with
power supply via L-coded plug
- High-quality industrial enclosure with IP65/67
protection for outdoor use
Siemens has launched a new generation of machine-level block I/O
devices in the form of the Simatic ET 200eco PN. The new I/O family with
IP65/67 degree of protection includes five digital I/O devices as well as an IO-Link master device and offers users a whole range of new
functions for modern machine concepts and requirements. In their new industrial
metal enclosure, the devices are reliably protected from UV radiation and
harmful substances even under adverse environmental conditions, making it
possible to use the devices outside of factory buildings. The devices are
supplied with power via an L-coded plug, resulting in a considerably higher
current-carrying capacity. In turn, this enables longer cable routes in the
field, and the supply and connection of more energy-intensive components (such
as valve terminals) without the need for more supply cables.
