• New signaling means seamless transition to automated train operation (ATO)
• Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC)
• Two stations and 20 trains will be equipped 

Siemens Mobility, along with consortium partners ST Engineering and BES Engineering Corporation, has been awarded a contract to deliver the signaling and communications for two new stations at Taoyuan Airport terminal three. The airport currently services more than 45 million passengers and with the opening of terminal three capacity is expected to grow to up to 86 million passengers per year. The mass transit system will provide access to the terminal for both current and future passengers. Siemens Mobility will provide the signaling system, which will include CBTC that will allow for automated train operations (ATO). Two stations, with an option for a third, and 20 trains will be equipped. The first station will be commissioned in September 2022, the second is planned for in June 2024. 

• New Version V16 of the TIA Portal engineering framework with focus on standardization and continuous integration
• Enhanced engineering efficiency with distributed working in the developer team
• Increased software quality thanks to integrated Test Suite
• Transparent operation with cross-vendor OPC UA communication

With the new TIA Portal V16 (Totally Integrated Automation Portal), Siemens has expanded its engineering framework with practical new functions for various phases from planning, to engineering, to commissioning. The innovations concentrate on the continuous integration of the development process. These include standardization, integrated engineering spread across teams and an integrated function test. This enables users to increase the quality of their software, shorten commissioning times and reduce engineering costs.

• Sustainable technological cooperation for the future of industrial wireless communication
• Joint Proof of Concept in a real industrial environment using the 3.7-3.8 GHz band
• Researching the capabilities of 5G standalone networks for industrial applications

Siemens and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. have implemented the first private 5G standalone (SA) network in a real industrial environment using the 3.7-3.8GHz band. Both companies have joined forces in this project: Siemens is providing the actual industrial test conditions and end devices such as Simatic control systems and IO devices and Qualcomm Technologies is supplying the 5G test network and the relevant test equipment. The 5G network was installed in Siemens’ Automotive Showroom and Test Center in Nuremberg. Automated guided vehicles are (AGV) displayed here which are primarily used in the automotive industry. New manufacturing options and methods are also developed, tested and presented before they are put into action on customer sites. This allows Siemens’ customers, such as automated guided vehicle manufacturers, to see the products interact live.

• Digital Enterprise portfolio aimed at meeting increasing requirements for greater productivity and flexibility as well as environmental efficiency
• New platform innovations ensure integration and flexibility across all stages of the value chain
• Growing ecosystem for Industrial Edge and Cloud enables scalability from the shop floor to the Cloud

Through innovations and the integration of cutting-edge technologies into the Digital Enterprise portfolio, Siemens helps companies from all sectors to achieve a more flexible and environmentally efficient production. “The Digital Enterprise portfolio is already well established globally in all industries for the implementation of Industrie 4.0. Many applications demonstrate the tangible benefits of these solutions for our customers,” explains Klaus Helmrich, Member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG and CEO of Digital Industries, at SPS. “Now we are taking the next step: with numerous innovations und cutting-edge technologies, we are taking the Digital Enterprise portfolio and therefore Industrie 4.0 to a new level.”

• New devices for electrical installations in industrial and infrastructure environments with a lower nominal current of 0.1 to 0.4 amperes
• Firmware update with improved control and diagnostic functions
• Failsafe group shutdown function without additional wiring

Siemens Smart Infrastructure is adding four new devices to its portfolio of Simatic ET 200SP motor starters, which can be used to start electric drives with a power output from 0.1 to 0.4 amperes (A). These types of drives are found in fans and coolant pumps, for example. The compact motor starters are installed in control cabinets and are designed to start single and three-phase motors of machines and systems, protecting them against overloads and short-circuits. They are each available in standard and safety variants.

• Siemens Industrial Edge closes the gap between local and Cloud computing and enables high-frequency data exchange at field level
• Edge apps for intelligent data analysis and increased productivity
• Industrial Edge includes a backend, Edge devices and Edge apps in Edge Management

With Siemens Industrial Edge, Siemens offers a digitalization solution that adds machine-level data processing to automation devices, by taking the intelligence of Edge computing and thus, sophisticated analytics securely to manufacturing level. Siemens Industrial Edge offers users the opportunity to execute a wide range of descriptive, diagnostic, predictive and prescriptive analytics applications. Cloud connectivity is used in conjunction with Edge apps from Siemens, from third-party providers or from users themselves in an integrated hardware and software ecosystem for automation components.

At SPS 2019, Siemens presents its latest solutions for smart and networked drive technology. By networking entire drive systems, machine and plant builders as well as users can simulate machines and plant more accurately using digital twins, perform commissioning, reduce downtimes and therefore increase productivity.

• Easy connection to Simatic controllers using plug-in connectors
• Integration in TIA Portal supports quick commissioning

Simatic Micro-Drive F-TM Servodrive is the newest member of the Simatic Micro-Drive family. The servo drive system comprises a Simatic Micro-Drive F-TM Servodrive drive controller module, the Simatic ET 200SP and universal motors and plug-in cables. It adds to the Simatic Micro-Drive PDC (ProfiDriveControl) and completes the drive portfolio in the protective extra-low voltage range for EC motors from 24 to 48 volts. The drive controller module supports dynamic and accurate positioning in a small amount of space in the performance range up to 280 watts.
