advance product news 2/2015 | Digitalization in Industry

Digital Enterprises

On the way to Industrie 4.0

been practicing systematically for years. This approach goes

far beyond digital security measures, as it also means imple-

menting physical defense strategies. Optimally combined,

the physical and digital measures provide sustainable pro-

tection against the growing threat of cybercrime.

The new IEC 62443 standard and the IT Security Act that was

passed by the German federal government are good guide-

lines for putting such strategies into practice. Structured

security mechanisms, from password use to continuous

monitoring, enable secure and individualized adaptation to

the protection requirements of the digital factory.

Siemens supports users with a three-stage service to achieve

maximum protection for industrial automation plants: assess-

ment (stage 1), execution (stage 2), and management (stage 3).

Security system assessments focus on analyzing weak

points, gaps, threats, and risks in general. The execution

phase includes security training, developing the corre-

sponding strategies and procedures, and implementing

technical security measures. Continuous monitoring of the

implemented measures and detecting and resolving inci-

dents are the main activities in stage 3.

siemens.com/digital-enterprise

siemens.com/industrialsecurity

Manufacturing companies can only increase their

efficiency if they support the digitalization of their

processes throughout the entire product and pro-

duction lifecycle and interconnect them closely. The many

variants must thus already be digitally reflected in the

product design phase – that is, within the software itself. For

example, it must be possible to smoothly and easily exchange

product data between the product lifecycle management

(PLM), manufacturing execution system (MES), and automa-

tion software. This requires new software architectures that

have the necessary interfaces and enable data exchange.

Siemens is pursuing this goal with the Digital Enterprise Soft-

ware Suite, using software, communication systems, and

security concepts and solutions, as well as digital services,

to address all four cornerstones of the digital transformation

of industrial processes.

Defense in depth – protecting the digital factory

The networking of industrial machines, plants, production

units, and factories increases the pressure on operators,

systems integrators, and automation specialists to protect

the digital factory from threats. This can be achieved with

the concept known as defense in depth, which Siemens has

Industry currently faces the

challenge of increasing product

individualization and, thus, of

having to offer products withmore variants, while also

keeping unit costs at the same

level. This feat is only possible

with an end-to-end digital value

chain. However, digitalization

also creates the need to protect

production plants and know-

how.

Siemens Cloud for Industry

Open cloud platform for digital service business

Siemens Cloud for Industry is an important part of Siemens’

Digital Enterprise strategy. Clients include machine manu-

facturers that are able to use the platform to develop and

offer new digital services. Thanks to the readily available

machine data, they are able to monitor their machine fleets

all over the world for service purposes and to reduce

downtime.

The new Connector Box of the open Siemens Cloud for

Industry platform plays a key role here. The Connector Box

is a Simatic IPC-based cloud gateway that enables easy and

secure capture of machine and system data and their trans-

mission to the cloud. Data from the controls and drivesystems of a wide variety of suppliers are captured and then

Digitalization has found its way into many industries

and sectors. It increases efficiency and helps in

optimizing processes. Siemens offers products for the

entire lifecycle – from the planning phase to service

and maintenance.

New features

made available for evaluation on the platform, which uses

SAP HANA Cloud Platform technologies. In the future, this

functionality will also be integrated into the Siemens port-

folio of industrial communication products. Thanks to pow-

erful web services for analysis, such as Visual Analyzer and

Fleet Manager, users can assess and optimize machine and

system states. They can also use Siemens Cloud for Industry,

which is designed as an open ecosystem, to develop web ser-

vices themselves. These can be used as a foundation for their

own digital services, such as predictive maintenance, energy

data management, and resource optimization.

Simatic controller portfolio

The right kind of automation

for every application

All the controllers in the Simatic portfolio offer optimum en-

gineering efficiency in TIA Portal and comprehensive diag-

nostic options, can be networked with different communi-

cation technologies, and have an innovative design for easy

installation. They also have integrated functions such as

Security Integrated, with know-how and access protection;

Technology Integrated, with functions such as motion con-

trol and PID control; and Safety Integrated, with commonhardware for standard and safety requirements.

Furthermore, Simatic Controller are the innovative solution

for every individual range of applications. The Basic Control-

ler Simatic S7-1200 is particularly suitable for small machines

that face cost pressure and that require high precision and

networkability. The Simatic S7-1200 communicates e.g. via

Profinet, Profibus, AS-Interface, IO-Link, and CANopen.

Remote solutions are also possible with telecontrol. The first

controller with a compact design on the market, the S7-1200

is available as a failsafe version as well.

The Advanced Controller Simatic S7-1500 satisfies speed and

communication requirements, as it is clocked and uses theMedia Redundancy Protocol (MRP). This makes it suitable for

midrange to high-end machines and plants. Thanks to its

high storage capacity and speed, it has enough power to

meet future demands.

The Distributed Controller is used in distributed architectures

and series machines that have little space available – for ex-

ample, small switching boxes. It is based on the powerful

Simatic S7-1500. The Distributed Controller can be extended

with the I/O modules of the Simatic ET 200SP.

For the first time ever, the compact Simatic ET 200SP Open

Controller combines the functions of a PC-based software

controller with visualization, Windows applications, and cen-

tral I/O modules in one compact device.

The Simatic S7-1500-based Software Controller is operated

independently from Windows and thus guarantees high soft-

ware availability.

Siplus CMS1200 for Simatic S7-1200

Monitoring mechanicalcomponents

LOGO! CMK2000

Flexible building

communications

With the new LOGO! CMK2000 communication module,

LOGO! 8 can be easily used as an intelligent controller in the

KNX building automation system. The communication mod-

ule is linked to LOGO! 8 via Ethernet, which means that the

entire hardware set-up of the LOGO! can be used with KNX:

24 digital inputs, 20 digital outputs, 8 analog inputs, and

8 analog outputs. Inexpensive standard sensors and actua-

tors can be connected to these LOGO! inputs and outputs.

Integrating LOGO! into a KNX system makes projects more

flexible. Up to 50 communication objects can be configured,

irrespective of the input and output points. LOGO! applica-

tion programs run independently from KNX. It is also possi-

ble to process signals from KNX sensors and control actua-

tors from the KNX system. In the KNX system, LOGO! can beused as a master or a slave to synchronize time and date.

siemens.com/logo

To increase plant availability and therefore productivity, po-

tential error sources must be detected early as a preemptive

measure and be taken into account when drawing up the

maintenance plan. The Siplus CMS1200 condition monitor-

ing system is now available for the Simatic S7-1200 to mon-

itor mechanical components. Significant changes – for ex-

ample, as a consequence of wear and tear – can be detected

early, and problems can be remedied as they arise, before

they can cause any more damage.

As part of the Simatic S7-1200, the condition monitoring

system is integrated into the automation group with the

TIA Portal engineering framework. Four IEPE vibration accel-

eration sensors and one rotational speed sensor can be

connected to one SM 1281 module of the CMS1200. Up to

seven SM 1281 modules can be used per CPU. The SM 1281

includes the necessary analysis software, allowing the re-

ceived signals to be easily evaluated and saved to the mod-

ule’s own internal storage. The signals can be analyzed

based on parameters, and frequency-selective analysis is

possible for exact damage diagnosis. It is also possible to

record the development of trends.

New features

• Condition monitoring with Simatic S7-1200

• Early detection of mechanica l damage with condition

monitoring in TIA Portal

New features

• Communication module to connect LOGO! 8 to theKNX building automation system

• Configuration of up to 50 communication objects

 via KNX 

• Abilit y to use LOGO! for time synchronization either

as a master or a slave in the KNX system

The SM 1281 is parameterized and diagnosed based on

parameters in TIA Portal; the frequency-selective diagnosis

occurs via a web browser. If an even more detailed analysisis required, the signals can also be evaluated with the CMS X

diagnostics software tool. This enables the monitoring of

gear units as well, for example.

(previously 12 to 28 V)

• Two new buffer modules for increased availabil ity 

• Faster commissioning and troubleshooting

Sitop PSU8600

Even higher versatility and availability

The Sitop PSU8600 power supply sys-

tem has been complemented with

more base units, buffer modules, and

additional functions. The 40-A basic

device is now also available with only

one output, and there now are twocompact 20-A versions available: one

with a width of 80 mm and one out-

put and one with a width of 100 mm

and four outputs of 5 A each. If a

fourth expansion module (CNX8600)

is added, the power supply unit can

have 20 outputs. The outputs of the

base unit, as well as those of the ex-

pansion modules, can be set to have

a broader voltage range, of 5 to 28 V,

eliminating the need for external

power supply units for special volt-

ages.

Users can activate and deactivate the

integrated web server easily with a DIP

switch on the base unit, which makes it

easy to read out operation and diagnos-

tic data with mobile devices such as tab-

let PCs, smartphones, or notebooks, aswell as speed up commissioning and

troubleshooting.

Two new BUF8600 buffer modules that

are based on high-capacity, double-layer

capacitors (so-called UltraCaps) allow for

longer bridging times during power fail-

ures. With a load current of 24 V and 40 A,

the 60-mm-wide buffer module buffers

4 seconds, and the 125-mm-wide buffers

up to 10 seconds; the buffer times increase 

with decreasing load currents. By integrat-

ing up to two buffer modules into the sys-

tem, buffer times of up to 80 seconds at

10 A load current are possible, which is

usually enough to safely shut down a

PC. The Sitop PSU8600 is the first power

supply unit that can be fully integrated

into Totally Integrated Automation (TIA),

which considerably simplifies projectplanning in TIA Portal and Step 7, as well

as configuration and operation. The inte-

grated Profinet interfaces make available

large amounts of operating and diagnos-

tic information that can be evaluated

with Simatic S7 and visualized in WinCC.

To speed up the integration of user pro-

grams, standardized S7 function blocks

for Simatic control systems and preas-

sembled WinCC faceplates can be down-

loaded free of charge.

advance product news 2/2015 | Integrated Drive Systems

 Aservo–geared motor always needs the appropriateconverter to operate. The highly dynamic Sinamics

S120 single- and multiaxis drive and the Simotics

S-1FG1 servo–geared motor are a perfect team not only

because the servomotor, gearbox, and converter are per-

fectly matched, but also because the combination offers

substantial advantages for engineering, commissioning,

and integration into automation systems. With its ample

integrated functionality and scalable number of axes, the

Sinamics S120 can be used for numerous demanding motion

control applications. Tailored solutions for increased produc-

tivity and flexibility can be implemented with high-perfor-

mance individual and coordinated multiaxis drives with

vector or servo control. The electronic nameplate of the

Sinamics S120 and the Drive-Cliq system interface provide

automatic configuration of drive systems, enabling faster

and fault-free commissioning. Thanks to prefabricated

motion connect signal and power cables, the components

can be connected easily and reliably.

Dynamic and precise

The new Simotics S-1FG1 is part of the servo–geared motor

series for dynamic and precise motion sequences that can

be used in a variety of applications, such as palletizers; rack

retrieval systems with lif t, traction, and fork drives; and aux-

iliary drives for conveyor belt systems, metering pumps, orflying saws. With four compact gear variants and finely grad-

uated transmission ratios, it is easy to find the ideal drive for

each application and mounting position. Depending on the

type of gear and size, helical, bevel, parallel shaft and heli-

cal worm gearboxes, with up to 25 transmission ratios, are

available. The servo-geared motors are highly efficient and

have little torque play. The pinion that is plugged into the

motor shaft has a small diameter and therefore allows for a

high transmission ratio in the first gear step. This enables the

use of two-step instead of three-step gears in extreme

ranges.

Integrated approach, greater efficiency

The servo drive system is an integral part of Totally Integrated

Automation (TIA). This means that the customer receives

everything from a single source. The integrated system ap-

proach also means that a great deal of time and effort can

be saved in the engineering and commissioning process, and

automation tasks can be implemented efficiently.

The new Simatic RTU3030C can be flexibly used in a

wide range of applications – for example, in water and

wastewater management, agriculture, or stock con-

trol. For instance, it can be used to detect leaks and monitor

pumping stations and agricultural irrigation systems or to

remotely control the filling levels in tanks. The remote ter-

minal unit is designed for autonomous operation and draws

its power from batteries or a solar panel. Users can access

key process data, such as level, flow rate, fill level, tempera-

ture, and pressure, via mobile communication from remotemeasuring points. The Simatic RTU3030C has a rugged

design and can be used in harsh environments (–40°C to

+70°C). An external protective enclosure with IP68 type of

protection ensures that it will function reliably even in the

event of flooding.

Highly reliable autonomous system

As plants with remote terminals usually extend over vast

areas, there is often no communication or power-supply

infrastructure at the measuring points. The autonomous

Simatic RTU3030C can be operated with up to two high-

performance batteries or one accumulator (which can be

combined with a solar panel). The RTU records the measured

values of the connected sensors and transmits them to a

control center. If necessary, the unit can also be used with a

12- to 24-V DC power source. Any combination of power sup-

plies can be used. The measured values are transmitted to

the control center via mobile communication using the

integrated UMTS modem, with either a secure OpenVPN con-

nection or an encrypted e-mail. The transmission can be

time-triggered or event-driven and can be configured indi-vidually for each process value. The RTU3030C immediately

sends a notification via text message or e-mail if the set

threshold values are exceeded, so that the maintenance staff

can respond quickly. In addition to the communication mode,

the RTU3030C also supports the sleep, update, and mainte-

nance operating modes. In sleep mode, the device requires

less than 2 mW of power, ensuring reliable operation for

many years. Users can switch the RTU3030C to maintenance

mode for servicing, enabling them, for instance, to change

the batteries without losing data.

Easy configuration, flexible connection

The Simatic RTU3030C can be easily configured using a stan-

dard web browser. Users can conveniently change the con-

figuration or update the firmware from a remote location.

With the TeleControl Server Basic software package, the unit

can be connected to the Simatic PCS 7 or Simatic WinCC con-

trol system. It is also possible to connect the unit directly to

Simatic PCS 7 TeleControl or Simatic WinCC/TeleControl with

the IEC 60870-5-104 and DNP3 telecontrol protocols.

Because it supports several telecontrol protocols, it can be

serial and special machine builders, as it can be used to

clearly identify and control a multitude of identical machines

that are located at different customers’ sites.

Sinema Remote Connect centrally manages the tunnel con-

nections between control center, service engineers, andinstalled plants using virtual private networks (VPNs). VPN

tunnel connections are based on OpenVPN standard certi-

ficates and encrypted with up to 4,096 bits. Access to

machines can be granted from one centralized location with

the management platform’s easy user-management func-

tion. Participants can be activated or blocked manually, so

that plant operators also always have full control over who

accesses their company network.

An additional advantage of Sinema Remote Connect is its

protocol-independent communication. This allows users to

employ different applications for remote maintenance – for

example, the Simatic Step 7 programming software – as

soon as the connection to the machine has been established.

The machines are connected to the management platforms

via wireless communication, DSL, or existing private network

infrastructures. For this purpose, Siemens offers a compre-

hensive portfolio of industrial routers from the Scalance

series – for example, the Scalance S615 and the Scalance

M876-4 mobile wireless router. The routers can be easily

configured via Sinema Remote Connect with an autoconfig-

uration interface.

With its new V13 Sinema Server soft-

ware release, Siemens is simplifying

the monitoring of industrial networks.

All Profinet and Industrial Ethernet

devices within a network are automat-

ically detected and can be visualized

in a web browser. Version 13 can also

directly read out information from

S7-300/S7-400 Simatic controllers and

connected Profinet devices. This ensu-

res that the maintenance personnel

always has a clear overview of device

conditions and connections.

Sinema Server V13

Efficient monitoring of industrial networks

The device data can be evaluated with

SNMP (Simple Network Management

Protocol) or using Profinet mechanisms

by directly accessing devices. This

allows for precise and non-proprietary

evaluation of device identification data

and diagnostic data. The obtained net-

work diagnosis can be seamlessly

integrated into HMI/SCADA systems

by using OPC and web mechanisms.

To prevent future errors, the collected

data can be saved in a long-term

archive and can also be subsequently

displayed in reports. The overall status

of larger networks (up to 100 servers

with up to 500 nodes) that are moni-

tored by several servers can be cen-

trally displayed using the Server Over-

view function. Changes to network

components are automatically reported

to the user in an event e-mail, allowing

the recipient to quickly respond to pos-

sible errors or eliminate current errors.

Scalance S615 security module

Flexible protection for automation networks

The new, cost-effective Scalance S615

security module protects industrial net-

works and automation systems against

unauthorized access. With its five Indus-

trial Ethernet ports, different network

topologies can be protected via firewall

or a virtual private network (VPN), and

security concepts can be implemented

in a flexible manner. The user can con-

figure individual firewall rules for up to

five variable security zones. The two

security measures – firewall and VPN –

can be combined based on individual

security requirements. The automatic

configuration interface allows easy

integration into the Sinema RemoteConnect management platform for con-

figuration. Scalance S615 has several

configuration, management, and diag-

nostics options, with WBM (web-based

management), CLI (command line in-

terface), and SNMP (Simple Network

Management Protocol). Used as a DHCP

(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

server and client, the device can be

used in any VLAN (virtual LAN) security

zone. The new security module has a

key-switch function at the digital input

for the controlled establishment of a

tunnel connection.

The security modules of the Scalance S

series have been especially designed to

meet the requirements of automation

technology – for example, a rugged

design for industrial environments,

easy installation, and a redundantpower supply for minimum downtime

in the event of failure, plus the option

to exchange devices quickly with a

C plug.

New features

• Automatic detection of Profinet

and Industrial Ethernet devices

• Network condition transpa rency

access for evaluation with external

tools. This way, data can be collected in

one centralized location, evaluated

according to the needs of the customer,

and further processed.

The new Scalance XR526-8C Industrial

Ethernet 19-inch rack switch completes

the portfolio of powerful Scalance

XR-500 products. The semimodular

switch has an improved price/perfor-

mance ratio and complements the

Scalance XR524-8C, Scalance XR528-6M,

and Scalance XR552-12M models. The

device uses Layer 3 switching, which

can either be activated with a key plug

or requested as an option in the basic

device. This makes the Scalance

XR526-8C highly flexible when it comes

to executing demanding, customer-

specific networking tasks, even in

high-performance plant networks.

The device is equipped with 24 Gigabit

ports, two 10-Gigabit ports, and inte-

grated power supply units. It has a fan-

less design, and, with its low height, the

switch requires little space in the con-

trol cabinet. The semimodularity that

results from eight combo ports, the use

of plug-in transceivers, and the option

of link aggregation makes the Scalance

XR526-8C highly flexible with regard

to optical terminals. It also has a high

device performance, of up to 44 Gbit/s.

The new Scalance XR526-8C Industrial

Ethernet switch bridges the gap between

automation and corporate networks

and, like all Scalance XR-500 switches,

can be integrated into all the usual net-

work management systems (such as

communications processor enables the connection of remote

terminal units (RTUs) based on Simatic S7-1200 to a control

center or a higher-level station via the Sinaut ST7 telecontrol

protocol. Users can implement the solution in both new and

existing plants. Redundancy technology and security func-

tions guarantee high availability and security. The device canbe connected to the control center via public or private com-

munication networks. An external industrial router at the

device’s Industrial Ethernet interface can be used to connect

it to the Internet or the mobile communication system. To

increase availability, the CP 1243-8 IRC offers the option to

establish an additional connection via a second WAN inter-

face (path redundancy). For this purpose, a teleservice mod-

ule is connected to the communications processor.

The CP 1243-8 IRC supports both cyclical and event-driven

transmission of all types of data required for process control

and also has alarm functions. With the TIA Portal V13 SP1

Step 7 Professional engineering software, the user simply

chooses the data that are to be transmitted by the Simatic

S7-1200 CPU and sets the desired communication parame-

ters. To prevent the loss of data in the event of a link failure,

the communications processor stores and time-stamps all

measured values without interruption. The communications

processor offers comprehensive diagnostic capabilities,either via the device’s LED indicators in the Simatic Step 7

engineering tool or via the web server.

extreme temperature ranges from –40°C up to +85°C, as

well as vibration and shocks, the device offers maximum

reliability for electric power applications. The Ruggedcom

RMC8388 is available in multiple versions and can convert

the modern Precision Time Protocol IEEE 1588v2 to the

legacy IRIG-B (Inter-Range Instrumentation Group) time

codes or PPS (pulse per second). The RMC8388 enables the

use of legacy IEDs (intelligent electronical devices) within

modern Ethernet networks without the need to maintain a

separate network for time synchronization.

The compact form factor makes

the Ruggedcom RMC8388 ideal formodern Ethernet-based networks

because it only uses limited addi-

tional space in existing cabinets. It

also reduces capital expenditure by

enabling cost-effective time syn-

chronization to existing non IEEE
