When a system error occurs, hardware components and devices of other manufacturers can trigger a system reaction. The hardware components provide information on the system error that has occurred. For S7-1500 PLCs, the system diagnostics provides a convenient way to evaluate this diagnostic information and display it in the form of alarms.

Manufacturing in America 2024 is set to take place on September 25th at Ford Field in Detroit. Organized by Electro-Matic and Siemens, this one-day event will gather over 2,700 manufacturing professionals, offering more than 50 technical seminars and over 50 exhibits focused on cutting-edge technologies in automation, digitalization, and control systems. It’s a key opportunity for networking and learning in the industry. This event is free to attend, but requires registration.

Electro-Matic, A SunSource Company, continues to leverage the value of emerging technologies by developing practical solutions for industrial, EV, and Battery Manufacturing industries, by announcing their new partnership with CKD USA as an Authorized Distributor.

Data is one thing, but ultimately you need to be able to understand and use it quickly to derive the right actions from it. In addition, all the data necessary for visualization must be available to the machine operator. Therefore, machine builders need to meet user requirements for access and archiving of all data points. The processed data is then used to create a visualization that allows a variety of extensions and adjustments based on the customer’s needs. Implementing data analytics functionalities will enable smart dashboarding and notification solutions. WinCC Unified offers you a scalable visualization system for different platforms, environmental conditions and use cases.

Production processes are becoming more and more complex, quality requirements are increasing, and the shortage of skilled workers is putting additional pressure on industry. Machine transparency helps you master these challenges by reducing downtimes and significantly optimizing your operating efficiency.

Protect and preserve your process with Siemens ISPDs

Electrical safety foundation reports that 34% of unplanned power outages are caused by power surges and unexpected resetting or mis-operation of equipment commonly also caused by power surges.* With a significant growth of interconnected, smart equipment and sophisticated electronic devices, the National Electric Code (NEC) continues to increase requirements in surge protection in different applications to ensure safety of personnel and equipment.

Siemens Industrial Surge Protective Devices (ISPDs) offer a reliable DIN-Rail mountable solution for increasing NEC requirements to safeguard your critical equipment and safety circuits. In today’s industrial environment, protection from damaging power surges is essential to maintaining smooth operations and minimizing costly downtime. Our complete portfolio protects your AC power, DC power, and signal line communications, covering all industrial applications.

Rely on an integrated engineering workflow with libraries in the TIA Portal

Running work processes in parallel using integrated digitalization promises huge time gains in the development of new machines. Standardization provides the basis: You get a handle on the increasing complexity of applications, you can respond quickly to constantly changing customer demands, and you can guarantee consistent top quality in the development process. The Totally Integrated Automation Portal (TIA Portal) checks all the boxes.

SIMATIC WinCC Unified is scalable from single-user systems to complex, distributed applications. Thanks to a standardized software platform and the use of modern web technologies, WinCC Unified already meets the requirements of a visualization system of the future.
