This page provides a brief overview of our ongoing improvements. It shows Australian news and product releases. The IAC News Center also provides online publications and magazines. For more information please browse the links below:
Siemens Crane group recently delivered the electrics for four twin-lift ship-to-shore post-panamax cranes built by ZPMC of Shanghai, PR China, for DP World (formerly P&O Ports) , one of Australia's container terminal operators.
SIMATIC S7-300 and ET 200M I/O stations are high-density, modular and multi-functional. The contained digital, analogue, safety, positioning and communication modules satisfy the wide range of automation requirements.
SIMATIC ET 200M is a remote I/O system for Siemens S7 controllers. Its modular and multi-functional structure allows flexible distributed automation solutions to be implemented.
The product portfolio of SCALANCE X Industrial Ethernet Switches consisting of SCALANCE X005 Entry Level, SCALANCE X-100 unmanaged, SCALANCE X-200 managed and SCALANCE X-400 modular, has been supplemented by the compact SCALANCE X-300 managed plus product line.
The SCALANCE X-200 line offers plant devices in the managed switch class and the range has now been expanded to include 4 High Port Density versions.
Siemens Crane group recently delivered the electrics for seven twin-lift ship-to-shore post-panamax cranes built by ZPMC of Shanghai, PR China, for Patrick, one of Australia's container terminal operators.
Siemens Ltd. Australia and New Zealand announced the acquisition of the business of Emsby Pty Ltd., a Queensland-based electrical drives technology company supplying the infrastructure and process industries.
SITRANS LR 460 is the continuous radar level transmitter for your tough solids applications, including materials with severe dust, high temperatures and long ranges to 100 m.
The EM 4 F-DI / 3 F-DO DC24V/2A is a cost-optimized and space-saving fail-safe SIMATIC ET 200S module with 4 inputs and 3 outputs which can be used for safety requirements up to SIL 2 and/or Category 3.
The Productivity Tour, a one day program for Siemens existing and new customers, travelled to Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth in Australia and to Auckland and Hamilton in New Zealand.
Siemens Industrial Automation & Control recently conducted a Productivity Tour for customers around Australia and New Zealand.
The one day program was focused on how Siemens customers can maximise the efficiency and effectiveness of their manufacturing plants, through real time management.
Diagnostics that detect and display faulty states in real time allow problems to be rectified quickly where they arise. Resulting in reduced downtime and improved productivity at your plant.
The IWLAN/PB Link PN IO is an independent component which provides a seamless gateway between Industrial Wireless LAN and PROFIBUS. By using the IWLAN/PB Link PN IO as a proxy, existing PROFIBUS devices can be used and further integrated in a PROFINET application.
The SCALANCE X408-2 Modular Industrial Ethernet Switch will increase the range of the SCALANCE X-400 modular Industrial Ethernet switches. It has eight integrated Ethernet Twisted Pair interfaces, of which 4 are Gigabit ports (10/100/1000Mbit/s) for the design of powerful and redundant network structures in backbone applications.
SIMATIC S7-400 - the most powerful controllers for system solutions in manufacturing and process automation, are now available with PROFINET - the industrial Ethernet standard for automation. This upgrade to the communications and processing performance allows more complex applications to be solved faster and more efficiently.
Siemens Water Technologies has been contracted to provide Sydney Water with a 'bio-sludge' digester which will assist in cleaning local waterways.
Gold Coast Water has awarded Siemens Water Technologies a contract to supply and install eight activated carbon odour control systems.
The SIMATIC S7-300 CPU range for system solutions focusing on manufacturing technology has been further enhanced. The memory size has been increased across this popular CPU range to suit modern industry requirements.
Siemens has been contracted by the Shell Oil Company in Australia to deliver a revolutionary oil-water separation technology using black walnut shells.
Ethernet is fast becoming the network of choice in Industry due to its advantages in topologies and mediums. Companies such as Siemens are solving previous bottlenecks such as determinism to provide extremely fast and robust Industrial Ethernet networks.
With greater performance, dazzling graphics and additional models in a new design. The new 277 devices are here: six new operator interfaces are completely innovating the class of the series 270 Panels and Multi Panels.
The new Touch Panel TP 277 and Operator Panel OP 277 offer optimum performance and features for the most varied machine-oriented HMI tasks and a NEW onboard Ethernet interface.
The new Multi Panel 277 offers significantly increased performance. Two USB interfaces as well as an MPI/DP and Ethernet interface each for the connection to PROFIBUS and PROFINET are standard equipment. The SD/Multi Media Card combination slot enables memory expansions for archives and recipes.
The SIMATIC Mobile Panel 277 with 8" TFT/64K-color touchscreen - which has received the iF Award 2006 - is expanding the family of the SIMATIC Mobile Panels by a device that offers the advantages of a Mobile Panel also to the 270 series performance class.
The Industrial USB Hub 4 primarily serves as an IP65 rated USB hub for the connection of peripheral devices to Multi Panels 277 and Panel PCs with integrated USB interface. USB peripheral devices can be connected to the panel via the Industrial USB Hub 4 and operated without opening a control cabinet door.
Today manufacturers of all kinds are struggling to make sense of a torrent of data flowing from their automation and information technology systems. While the instrumentation and archiving of critical process or production measures is the first step, this alone is not sufficient.
The host facility for the aquatic events of the 2000 Summer Games in Sydney, Australia, is using state-of-the-art water chemistry control to provide consistent, high-quality pool water. Please follow the link for the full article.
