To remain competitive in the manufacturing industry in the future as well as the present, it is imperative to have strong partners – partners, who set the right course in

terms of technology. Siemens offers integrated solutions that perfectly link all stages of the industrial value chain. With consistent technologies such as Totally Integrated Au-tomation (TIA) or Integrated Drive Systems (IDS), the work-flow can be improved, enhancing the productivity and effi-ciency of the companies served. All of this results in greater competitiveness.

Highly integrated solutions for more efficiency

Be it in the area of automation or drive technology, innova-tive products are the motor continuously driving the integra-tion and flexibility of solutions for the customers’ benefit. TIA Portal V13 is the main focus of the presentation at Hanno-ver Messe. The new version opens up Security Integrated for Simatic S7-1200 and Safety Integrated for Simatic S7-1500. Thus, the new fail-safe S7-1518F CPU, the most powerful from the Simatic S7 1500 line, also benefits from efficient engineering. In the area of micro automation, there is the completely updated LOGO! 8 that is able to communicate with all Simatic S7 systems. The micro controller also stands out with its simplified handling and even more reduced space requirements, with more digital and analog outputs. The HMI portfolio was extended by new Basic Panels of the second generation, an entry-level industry rack PC, and multi-touch devices for industrial environments.

Furthermore, at its booth in Hall 9, Siemens presents Sinamics G110M, a distributed, motor-integrated inverter for geared motors that saves space and reduces installation ef-fort. This makes the Simogear / Sinamics G110M combination perfectly suited for a great variety of conveyor technology applications. In addition, Siemens presents a series of plan-etary gear units of up to 80 kNm consisting of a Flender Stan-dard Industry Planetary (SIP) gear unit, a Simogear geared motor, and the new Sinamics G110M inverter with signifi-cantly reduced weight and installation space that offers man-ifold extension possibilities.

advance product news 1/2014 | Automation in TIA Portal

TIA Portal V13

Thanks to the improved and expanded Version 13 of the engineering framework TIA Portal, expenditures for engineering can be further reduced. It integrates additional fail-safe controllers as well as new motor-integrated frequency inverters and the Simotion motion control system.

Due to the ever-increasing size and complexity of automation solutions, engineering costs are

climbing. A uniform, consistent oper-ating concept for controllers, HMI, and drives, as well as an intuitive user in-terface and data consistency, enable TIA (Totally Integrated Automation) Portal V13 to reduce engineering time by up to 30% – which also significantly lowers costs.

More functions and tools

Version 13 of TIA Portal has improved features in the diagnostics concept, know-how protection, and synchro-nized teamwork for larger projects, among others. For instance, errors are now automatically detected on distrib-uted I/O devices. Planning engineers can work independently from one an-other on parts of the project and jointly access a controller online. Further en-gineering tools such as the Simatic WinCC V13 SCADA software have been integrated into the uniform working environment. All tools – Simatic Step 7 V13 for Simatic controllers, Simatic

Step 7 Safety Advanced V13 for safety applications, or Sinamics Startdrive V13 for the Sinamics G inverter product range – work in perfect and intuitive i nterplay within the framework. The software architecture has been de-signed for highest efficiency and is suitable for both beginners and expe-rienced users.

Extended product range

The hardware has also been extended with new components. The Simatic S7-1217C controllers with new and im-proved firmware version 4.0 as well as the fail-safe, high-end Simatic S7-1518F controller complement the product range with particularly high-perform-ing CPUs with extensive functionality. The new generation of Simatic Basic Panels has been perfectly tailored to

Even more flexible engineering

simple HMI applications. The new components of the Integrated Drive Systems (IDS) concept include the Sinamics G110M frequency inverter, which together with Simogear geared motors makes for maximum applica-tion efficiency. The preconfiguration of the inverter, together with the motor and engineering in TIA Portal, makes commissioning easier and faster.

By integrating the Simotion motion control system, TIA Portal can now also be used to efficiently commission, con-figure, and engineer Simotion compo-nents. Hardware and software are merged in a consistent editor, enabling intuitive and full-graphics configura-tion as well as powerful diagnostics of the configured and networked compo-nents.

VD module for Scalance

Plant owners using Profibus or other two-wire cabling in their plants and wanting to switch to Profinet are often faced with high installation costs. The VD module offers a new option for migration.

T he MM992-2VD module is a new dual-port media mod-ule for all modular switches in the Scalance X-300 product line (XR-300/X308-2M) and the Scalance

S627-2M security module. The two-wire cable is connected with an RJ45 connector that is plugged into the new two-wire network module.

Industrial Ethernet communication using existing cabling

The highlight of the new module? During VD (variable dis-tance) operation, Industrial Ethernet communication is made possible via non-Ethernet-specific cabling (Profibus DP or other two-wire cabling) without having to change over to other transmission methods such as DSL, for example. De-pending on the quality of the line, distances of up to 500 m at a rate of 100 Mbps or 1,000 m at a rate of 10 Mbps can be covered. Furthermore, the VD module allows for an exten-sion of the standard Industrial Ethernet cable length at 100 Mbps in order to cover even greater distances. This means that remote users at a distance of more than 100 m do not necessarily need to be integrated into the plant’s net-work using optical fibers but can be integrated by simply using copper cables.

Secure data transmission guaranteed

Security does not suffer, either. It is possible to connect the VD media module to the most recent modular version of the Scalance S product line, Scalance S627-2M, thus en-suring secure communication in two-wire lines as well. With the firewall and VPN security functions, Scalance S627-2M can filter data communication and avoid unauthorized access as well as safely authenticate the transmitted data and protect from manipulation and espionage using en-cryption.

Installation cost savings

Using the VD media module reduces costs when installing a plant, since the already installed copper cables can be used, thus avoiding high cable-laying expenses. In this case, the module can be used as a standard Industrial Ethernet or VD interface. All in all, the new media module offers the possi-bility to migrate existing Profibus systems to Profinet – with-out having to lay new cables!

Simotics motors for converter operation

The motor plays a crucial role in an efficient, integrated drive system. The new Simotics GP and Simotics SD motors from the VSD10 line have been optimized for frequency converter operation with the frequency converters of the Sinamics series. Together, they form a perfectly coordinated drive system.

Siemens is introducing motors for converter operation that are based on 1LE1 asynchronous motors. The mo-tors from the VSD10 line are available with aluminum

housing (Simotics GP) as well as with gray cast-iron housing (Simotics SD) and feature an output range of between 2.2 and 200 kW. As a key component of Integrated Drive Sys-tems (IDS), the motors have been optimized for operation with Sinamics converters. By perfectly coordinating the components, it is possible to create a cost- effective overall system that offers exceptionally high reliability and avail-ability.

Broad range of applications

Using motor converter systems in applications with pumps, fans, and compressors reduces power consumption by up to 60%. Because the motors have been optimally adapted for converter operation, it is possible to minimize the motor’s power loss and consequently increase efficiency. The motors

themselves have special features – for example, temperature sensors and isolated bearings for high shaft heights. These features contribute to extending the service life and also the availability of the drive components. With its speed control, the integrated system displays its advantages, especially when used in the partial-load operating range. The result is an accordingly energy-efficient operation.

Easy commissioning

The integrated solution also shows its strengths in com-missioning. The motor code printed on the nameplate is entered on the user panel of the Sinamics converter and delivers preconfigured parameterization settings. This en-ables quick, error-free commissioning. The drive system can also be easily and simply integrated into TIA Portal with Profibus.

• Additional fields of application for Integrated Drive Systems (IDS) in the medium-voltage range

• Maximized plant availability

• Extremely motor-friendly operation

• High flexibility when planning and building a plant

New features

Liquid-cooled Active Interface Modules (AIMs) and Active Line Modules (ALMs) are now also available for Sinamics S120 low-voltage converters. These modules cover a

voltage range between 500 and 690 V, with an output of 1,700 kW. The liquid-cooled solution transfers almost all the heat of the modules to the cooling liquid. Room air-condition-ing can therefore be significantly decreased and the associated costs of installation, maintenance, and operation reduced. Because no fans are necessary, the power consumption of the modules is lower as well.

Sinamics S120 ALMs are available with outputs of 380 kW, 630 kW, and 900 kW at 380–480 V and of 1,100 kW at 500–690 V. They are able to feed the energy back into the grid, thus offering significant cost savings. AIMs for the grid connection form a functional unit with the ALMs. The AIMs filter the harmonics to a large degree and ensure that there is very little circuit feedback. The new modules contain a liq-uid-cooled throttle, a liquid-cooled filter module, and fasten-ers. By connecting up to four identical modules in parallel,

Sinamics Perfect Harmony GH150

Even more versatility in the medium-voltage range

The new Sinamics Perfect Harmony GH150 medium- voltage converter further develops the proven cell-based Perfect Harmony technology and offers high

availability as well as maximum flexibility for easy systems integration. Thanks to its high versatility, especially with re-gard to the selection of transformers, customer and appli-cation requirements can be met even better.

The medium-voltage converter itself can easily be inte-grated into any application. It is suitable for retrofits as well as for new projects where a separate transformer with high input voltages and various cooling methods (i.e. oil or dry transformers) can also be employed. Higher flexibility makes plant planning easier and thereby also reduces the total cost of ownership as well as the operating costs.

The cell-bypass feature prevents unplanned downtimes and enables maintenance measures to be carried out at a scheduled time. The converter’s almost sinusoidal output voltage minimizes the stress on the motor and ensures that the applications can run smoothly and efficiently. Therefore, even applications with long cable lengths between the motor and the converter can be implemented without out-put filter.

Simatic Ident (RFID systems in the HF range and code-reading systems) offers a wide range of advantages for tool management, from storage to the machine: fast and reliable identification eliminates error sources and enables optimal use of the tool stock.

Simatic Ident provides for the high-est level of transparency and en-ables the tool stock to be utilized

to optimal effect through precise re-cording of the inventory and localiza-tion of tools during operation. Tools with RFID transponders or DMC codes can clearly be identified by an RFID reader or code reader when they are re-moved from their storage location. The data are then transmitted to the high-er-level tool management system and checked back into the store once the order has been executed. A UHF tran-sponder on the tool trolley makes it possible to easily localize the trolley as it moves through UHF gates between the storage location and the various manufacturing areas.

Unique identification marking

During the tool assembly process, Simatic Ident guarantees the unique and durable iden tification of the as-

sembled tool. This is done by placing an RFID transponder in a designated loca-tion on the tool holder, and identifying the tool to be mounted via a DMC. The data are then stored on the tool carri-er’s RFID transponder. The RFID tran-sponder of the mounted tool is able to read both unique IDs and plain- lan-guage text markings.

Simatic Ident is also used during pre-setting and measuring of the tool, which checks the various tool parame-ters, such as radius, length, and so on. The data are stored directly on the RFID transponder on the tool.

Rapid tool change

Additionally, Simatic Ident provides for a correct machining process in the ma-chine tool and enables the automatic transmission of the tool data to the CNC controller. This guarantees rapid, error- free tool changes. For this, the tool is moved past the RFID antenna after it

Transparency in tool management

Tool identification with Simatic Ident

has been inserted in the tool magazine, and the tool data stored on the RFID transponder are automatically read and transmitted to the CNC controller. Fi-nally, the remaining tool life, as deter-mined by the CNC controller, is stored directly on the transponder.

In addition to the small MDS D117 and MDS D127 transponders, the new solution also includes the compact sta-tionary Simatic RF250R reader and the mobile Simatic RF310M handheld reader, which are both designed to be connected to external antennas, such as the new exceptionally small ANT8 or the ANT12. Alternatively, with Simatic RF210R, Siemens also offers a tried and tested reader with an integrated an-tenna in M18 construction as well as an additional transponder for tool identification, the MDS D421 tool “pill” corresponding to DIN 69873 speci fi-cations.

Simatic handheld reader MV320 / MV325

Rugged and powerful

The new Simatic MV320 and Simatic MV325 handheld reading systems are designed for the mobile reading of two-dimensional (2-D) data matrix codes and one-

dimensional (1-D) bar codes at a distance of up to 375 mm. The integrated image processing functions and lighting technologies make it possible to read codes on different surfaces.

The Simatic MV320 wired handheld reading system is an entry-level device that enables communication with the host PC as well as integration into the application, thanks to USB and RS232 interfaces. The Simatic MV325 wireless handheld reading system communicates via Bluetooth with a charging station, which is connected with the host via USB. If the radio link is interrupted, the read results are temporarily stored on the mobile device if this function has been activated. As soon as the connection to the char-ging station has been reestablished, the read results are auto matically transmitted. This operating mode is called “batch mode.” Both units are suitable for high-contrast la-bels (paper labels and adhesive labels) and, depending on the application, for codes with medium (laser-etched in metal) to low (needle-punched in metal) contrast. The de-vices are configured by reading the data matrix codes in-cluded in the delivery.

Object recognition for Simatic MV440

With the Pat-Genius object rec ognition license, the Simatic MV440 devices can not only read 1-D bar codes and 2-D matrix codes but also verify pre-

definable structures in images. This functionality is also available without a license in demo mode. Pat-Genius can be run on all MV440 devices with firmware V6.0 or higher. It can be used wherever the ambient conditions allow for the operation of a Simatic MV440 code reader.

In general, object recognition is suitable for applications such as pick-and-place, quality control in production, posi-tion recording in supply technology, or volume monitoring in supply technology and production. In this process, tasks also include position recognition, presence monitoring, completeness checks, and text recognition in addition to object recognition. The dimensional check detects devia-tions in the current camera frame in relation to the learned structure based on edge structures.

Simocode pro earth-fault module

The new 3UF7510-1AA00-0 Siemens earth-fault module for the Simocode pro motor management system monitors earth faults in conjunction with 3UL23 residual current trans- formers. This makes it possible to detect errors before the plant stands still.

External earth-fault monitoring is used either in power grids earthed with high alternating current resis-

tance or wherever it is necessary to precisely capture data on the earth fault current, for example for condition monitoring.

The new 3UF7510-1AA00-0 earth-fault module, combined with devices from the Simocode pro V series and 3UL23 residual current transformers, provides a solution with high measur-ing accuracy and a large setting range. In addition to the tripping threshold, a warning threshold can also be parame-terized, allowing for early error notifi-cation. The connection to the associ-ated 3UL23 residual current transfor-

mer is permanently checked for broken wires and short circuits. This ensures continuous monitoring, making man-ual tests redundant. Depending on the cable diameter used, the residual cur-rent transformer is available with six different outlet openings.

The combination of an earth-fault module and a 3UL23 residual current transformer enables early detection of any deterioration of the isolation in the maintenance station, thus reduc-ing downtime. Furthermore, this op-tion provides a solution for all lead-throughs at a more attractive price than before.

parameters can be monitored and fore-seeable problems counteracted, based on trend curves, even as they emerge. The motor condition monitoring box was designed for online monitoring. The system can be installed directly onto the motor, either on an existing motor in the field or ex works, when ordering a new motor. As part of the service port-folio, certified Siemens condition moni-toring experts monitor the customer’s machine and provide notification if the condi tion of the equipment deteriorates and countermeasures need to be imple-mented.

Sidoor ATD410W

Simple door management

The Sidoor ATD410W door control has been especially designed to control machine protection doors (for ex-ample, on machine tools) and complements Siemens’

automatic door-control product line. Sidoor ATD410W moves doors safely in accordance with DIN EN 13849 Performance Level d, Category 2. The intelligent solution automatically computes the best door operation for each application and ensures that it will be consistently main-tained.

New functions enable simple door management. Assisted Drive offers motorized support to push the heaviest doors without push-button controls and sensors. With Impulse Drive, opening and closing doors by tapping them lightly is ingeniously simple. In addition, power-assisted stopping with the smallest brake ramp supports the Impulse Stop function.

Easy plug-in cable management rounds off the flexible solution and facilitates the preassembly of the machine tool and motor replacement. Parameterization, configuration, and diagnostics can all be easily performed using Profidrive. Due to the compact design, Sidoor can be quickly installed in existing systems.

Sidoor MDG180 / MDG400

Rugged door motors for machine tools

The new rugged Sidoor geared motors in IP56 degree of protection optimize the movement of machine tool doors. The MDG180 model was

designed for doors weighing up to 180 kg and the MDG400 for doors of up to 400 kg. The latter can be directly installed in machine tool cabinets with the optional mounting accessories. The maintenance-free drive unit has a guaranteed lifetime of one million cycles.

The drive units for the belt drives have been modi-fied and now offer even safer support for the belts available as accessories. With an innovative reverse- polarity protected connector, the new plug-in cable system combines encoder and voltage cables in a sin-gle cable. This system enables optimum preassembly of industrial machines and easy installation.

3VA molded case circuit breaker

Variable system protection

With the new 3VA molded case circuit breakers, Siemens adds a new product line to its Sentron port-folio. Uses range from standard applications in

buildings to demanding industrial applications. The new molded case circuit breakers are available in two types, 3VA1 and 3VA2. Depending on the size and model, there are single- to four-pole versions available designed for rated currents between 16 A and 630 A as well as for rated volt-ages up to 690 V AC.

With their thermal-magnetic trip unit (TMTU), 3VA1 de-vices perform all standard tasks required in plant protection. Due to their compact design, they are ideal for use in distri-bution boards and mechanical engineering, allowing up to 50% space savings in switching systems, control cabinets, and distribution boards compared with equivalent products. The 3VA2 series has been designed for applications with higher technical demands. In addition to a higher breaking capacity, of up to 150 kA, these modules feature an elec-tronic trip unit (ETU), optional measuring and communica-tion functions, and very good selectivity characteristics for high plant availability, among other things. In addition, the integrated measuring function (ETU850 and ETU860) cap-tures power, voltage, and energy values and plant condi-tions. Data transfer and connection to higher-level energy management or automation systems is effected by means of the well-established Profibus, Profinet, and Industrial Ethernet (Modbus TCP) bus systems. Energy costs can be

Power outages in industrial plants or buildings can have expensive consequences. Siemens provides a comprehensive global portfolio for Totally Integrated Power, from switching systems to power outlets.
