Energy management: achieve higher energy efficiency systematically

Analyzing the lifecycle costsThe lifecycle costs of a product determine the energy efficiency and not the procurement costs: Today, op-erating costs, and the usage of energy and raw ma-terials must play a significantly more important role in the overall analysis. With its absolutely unique portfolio, Siemens fully complies with this approach. We can offer you products, systems and solutions to visualize and evaluate hidden energy-saving po-tential as well as to implement specific optimization measures according to plan.

The comprehensive portfolio to optimize energy flowsWith our comprehensive portfolio of energy-saving motors and frequency converters for variable-speed operation, we can provide you with the main levers for efficient energy management: Just in the Euro-pean Union alone, their use could reduce costs to the tune of three billion euros. As a consequence, the optimization of the energy consumption at the component level is an important step to reduce costs and CO2 emissions. Generally, investments made in energy-efficient components have a significantly faster payback time than one would think.

For a combination comprising motor and frequency converter, this payback time is approximately 24 months. Precisely just how quickly can be easily cal-culated – using SinaSave, a free-of-charge software tool that we have developed specifically for this pur-pose. SinaSave determines the energy-saving poten-tial and the payback time of energy-efficient motors as well as frequency converters. However, the basis for the highest energy efficiency is elsewhere: Careful engineering, in-depth analysis and well thought-out automation concepts play a decisive role in ensuring that resources are carefully used and energy costs reduced. Our visualization tools analyze the complete process and the complete infrastructure – and that, seamlessly. The transpar-ency that is thus obtained regarding energy flows creates the prerequisite for an analysis of the various processes and allows all of the main and sub-pro-cesses to be sensibly coordinated. A systematic optimization of your energy demand based on our portfolio offers you a whole raft of advantages: It plays a role in reducing production costs, increasing the return on investment and re-ducing CO2 emissions – sustainably and over the complete plant cycle.

www.siemens.com/energysaving

Increasing energy costs, growing pressure to improve profitability and awareness for increased

climate protection all mean that industry is focusing more and more on concepts for energy-optimized

machines and drives. This should be of no surprise: intelligent energy management can reduce costs

by up to 70 percent.

SIMATIC NET: industrial communication for plantwide automation

As a result of the ever-increasing global competition, continually boosting productivity has the

highest priority in industrial automation. Companies must be successful in continuously optimizing

all of their processes. Prerequisite is the highest degree of transparency through seamless

information flow company-wide.

Industrial communication is one of the keys to in-crease productivity in industry. In order to comply with the ever-increasing requirements, the demand for data networks that are truly fit for the future is increasing. Industry places especially high demands on the components required to establish or mod-ernize the infrastructure. Controlling machines, monitoring production lines, coordinating complete production areas? Today, without automation and the corresponding data communications, these tasks couldn’t be mastered. Standardized and integrated system technology plays a role in significantly increasing the efficiency in all industrial areas. However, the requirements are continually on the rise: Especially in the plant area at the control level, the requirement for higher data rates is increasing, e.g. as a result of the higher number of devices connected to the network, higher data quantities, data-intensive tools – such as visual-ization, web applications, Voice over IP, multi-media applications – or the requirement to implement cen-tral data management.

In order to be able to exist in the marketplace in the future, all of the processes of a company must grow together more strongly – through vertical integration and networking from the fieldbus level through the monitoring level up to the company supervisory level.

Innovative and well-proven With SIMATIC NET, Siemens offers you innovative technology based on well-proven standards – from AS-Interface, PROFIBUS, HART coupling up to Indus-trial Ethernet with integrated IT technology. Here are some examples of the many SIMATIC NET highlights: Integrated and unified communication down into hazardous zones using PROFIBUS PA, unrestricted TCP/IP communication and real-time applications to an extent that hasn’t been known up until now, us-ing the open Industrial Ethernet Standard PROFINET. SIMATIC NET leads the way to innovative networks – e.g. with the SCALANCE generation: components for high-performance networks, state-of-the-art man-agement, Industrial Wireless LAN and harmonized with this, Industrial Security. This is how SIMATIC NET is already securing the future of your plantwide data networks today.

www.siemens.com/simatic-hmi

Processes are becoming increasingly more complex with multiple layers, and the demands placed

on the functionality of machines and plants are permanently increasing. The operator is right in the

middle of this area of conflict. He must always know just what is going on – and correctly respond

to this. From these demands, a dedicated technology has been created within industrial automation

whose significance is permanently increasing: operator control and visualization.

24

Just one example: our patented hard disk suspension system with a high vibration/shock load capability. As the first standard product family, Siemens PC offers the latest technology with Intel Core2 duo processors, Windows Vista and PROFINET onboard – for net-working capabilities that have been improved even further. SIMATIC PCs are available in various formats and with a wide range of different functions. Included in the lineup are flexible and powerful rack PCs in the 19” format, compact box PCs for general purpose use as well as the high-performance panel PCs with brilliant displays. If you so desire, our Customization

Center can transform well-proven SIMATIC PCs into customized products and systems that are precisely tailored to your requirements.

First choice for use in the industrial environment The product design itself already fulfills the highest demands for use in tough industrial environments. Some examples of this: rugged enclosure designs with a high electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), degrees of protection up to IP65/NEMA 4 or the integrated industrial power supplies (according to NAMUR). High-quality parts and components with a high MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) permit 24 hour operation – even over an extended temper-ature range. As a result of their features and a series of optional products, SIMATIC PCs sustainably secure the high availability of a plant or system and play a decisive role in reducing follow-on costs. The result: highest productivity and cost-effectiveness.

www.siemens.com/industrie-pc

Industrial PCs must operate absolutely reliably even in tough environmental conditions and must

be insensitive to electromagnetic and mechanical disturbances. And just as important, they must be

compact and essentially maintenance-free.

SIMOTION: the motion control system for machines in which a lot moves

With our extensive sector and solution competence for machinery construction, we support you over the complete lifecycle of your machine – from the first planning steps through generating the electri-cal concept up to the optimum implementation. It doesn’t matter whether it involves machines for the packaging, plastics, textile, printing or glass indus-

tries etc. SIMOTION is the core of our portfolio – the innovative motion control system that addresses all requirements. SIMOTION integrates motion control, logic and technology functions to form just one unit. Technology transitions and interfaces as well as the associated costs are a thing of the past. At the same time, the fewer interfaces guarantee high clock cycle

The requirements placed on modern machines are continually increasing – regarding product quality

and productivity. Increasingly higher cycle rates and maximum availability are demanded, but at the

same time, with minimum lifecycle costs. Sophisticated concepts and well-conceived solutions are ab-

solutely mandatory to achieve this.

rates with the highest product quality. The system can be very precisely adapted to each and every requirement. This is the reason that over-dimen-sioned systems can be completely excluded. And, the modular structure permits central and distrib-uted machine concepts to be simply implemented.

A high degree of flexibility when implementing your machines SIMOTION offers you three different hardware plat-forms: PC-based, Controller-based and Drive-based. This means that you can freely decide which best suits your particular machine – and once a solution has been generated, this can be used on all three plat-forms without any additional costs. The different plat-forms can also be combined with one another, whereby

the individual systems operate in rigid synchronism. Communication and synchronization are realized via PROFIBUS or PROFINET. When implementing your solu-tion, you can select between several programming lan-guages. As a consequence, you profit from an almost unlimited degree of flexibility when implementing high-performance machines. Using SIMOTION, you can automate the most complex machines, and that very efficiently and with a high degree of cost-effectiveness. Well thought-out tools already simplify the planning in the development phase, powerful diagnostic functions support you during com-missioning. This speeds up your development and your engineering – and in turn also your time-to-market. And last but not least, this is the reason that SIMOTION is being successfully used in the widest range of sectors.

SINAMICS: the right drive for any application

From basic single-motor drives through coordi-nated drives up to multi-axis and motion control drives for sophisticated and demanding tasks: SINAMICS offers the optimum drive for every ap-plication area. The complete and unified family of drives distinguishes itself as a result of the

highest degree of flexibility and functionality – as well as through standard engineering across the complete drive spectrum. Different drive ver-sions regarding the power rating, performance and voltages cover the complete bandwidth.

In a drive technology, solutions must be flexible and scalable – and must be able to be

perfectly tailored to the particular application. Beyond this, it is also expected that the drive

can be simply handled and that it does its job reliably and cost-effectively in every aspect.

34

Infinite possibilities by using modular blocksThanks to its modular and scalable structure, SINAMICS systems can be flexibly combined with one another and as requirements increase, they can be simply expanded. They are all based on a com-mon platform. In many cases, the same software and hardware components are also used for identi-cal functions. Functions are implemented in a stan-dard fashion across the various drive families. This increases the level of operator friendliness, reduces the training costs and simplifies maintenance and spare parts stocking.

Standard engineeringAn additional advantage of SINAMICS: standard and unified engineering. Common tools for engineering, commissioning and diagnostics already provide

support when selecting and dimensioning the drive components. This ensures a level of efficiency across the various family members that has been unknown up until now. Further, as a result of this higher level of standardization, you can implement your machines and plants significantly faster and more cost-effectively.

The No. 1 for worldwide use With their voltage ranges, SINAMICS drives can be connected to the various line supply types world-wide. It goes without saying that they also comply with international standards and regulations. As a consequence, you can dispense with the complex and time-consuming post certification when export-ing. A global network of Siemens regional offices and service partners is available to support you.
