- 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.
- 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.
- Simatic S7-1500
firmware V2.8: Secure data integration, versatile diagnostics function for OPC
UA server
- Simatic S7-1200 firmware V4.4:
Improved cross-platform data transfer, OPC UA Data Access as server, OPC UA
Modelling Editor
Siemens announces the release of two firmware updates for
Simatic controllers that provide new functions. The Simatic S7-1500 firmware
V2.8 from Siemens improves cross-device capabilities for data integration and
diagnostics functions. The new Simatic S7-1200 firmware V4.4 extends the
communication functions of the Simatic S7-1200, enhancing cross-platform data
transfer with other controllers and higher-level or cloud-based systems such as
ERP, SCADA and Mindsphere. The applications are numerous, ranging from
industrial use to agriculture and infrastructure projects.
- 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.
- Siemens
industrial gas turbines will provide peaking power to help improve the
reliability and flexibility of the Belarusian power grid
Siemens will deliver the power generation equipment for two
new peaking power plants in the Republic of Belarus. The customer is the
state-owned utility company RUE Vitebskenergo. The new plants will be operated in
conjunction with the existing Lukomlskaya and Novopolotskaya power
plants in
the Vitebsk region in northern Belarus and will help ensure the
reliability and flexibility of the country’s power grid. The plants are expected to go into
operation in the end of 2021.
- Digital solutions provide for improved operational efficiency and reduced emissions
Siemens will equip Lalitpur Power Generation Company Limited (LPGCL), a Bajaj Group company, with advanced digital solutions for its power plant located in Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh, India.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
