Siemens IEC Miniature Circuit Breaker

August 19, 2019

IEC style miniature circuit breakers (MCB), according to ENNEC 60 898, are not always permitted in North America. For this reason, MCBs were developed that were based on the miniature circuit breakers of the 5SY series and met the special requirements of UL 489. Within the sphere of influence of NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) and ANSI (American National Standards Institute) MCBs are certified as a solution for protective applications and can be used for branch circuit protection in the branches of control panels and systems.The connection terminals are designed for the class: “Field wiring”.

This means that, as well as being installed in a factory, the MCBs can be installed locally at customer sites. In addition to the permissible tripping ranges according to UL 489, device tipping characteristics C and D to ENNEC 60 898 have also been adapted. Therefore, the MCBs comply with both standards.

Siemens: New Basic Unit for Easy Diagnostics and Setup of Power Supply Systems

Siemens is expanding its modular Sitop PSU8600 power supply system to include a new single-phase 480-watt basic unit. The new product features four integrated monitored outputs with a total of 24 volts DC at five amperes per output. Each output is flexible and can be set during operation in a range between 4 and 28 volts either manually or remotely via software. This eliminates the need for additional power supply units to supply five or twelve volt loads.

Siemens: New SIMATIC S7-1500 Virtual PLC (vPLC) on Industrial Edge

SIMATIC S7-1500V is an entirely virtual PLC based upon the functions and operation of the SIMATIC S7-1500 PLC and is independent of its hardware. It extends the current S7-1500 PLC offering, which allows for more flexible and modular design of production plants, and is a virtual controller that is completely compatible with TIA Portal. With this, you can rely on familiar tools and build on projects that are already created in TIA Portal, and use OT solutions you have previously employed in an IT environment and benefit from their advantages without giving up familiar structures.
