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 module is linked to LOGO!8 via Ethernet, which means that the
entire hardware set-up of the LOGO! can be used with KNX:
24digital inputs, 20digital outputs, 8analog inputs, and
8analog outputs. Inexpensive standard sensors and actuators can be connected to these LOGO! inputs and outputs.
Integrating LOGO! into a KNX system makes projects more
flexible. Up to 50communication objects can be configured,
irrespective of the input and output points. LOGO! application programs run independently from KNX. It is also possible to process signals from KNX sensors and control actuators from the KNX system. In the KNX system, LOGO! can be
used as a master or a slave to synchronize time and date.

Monitoring mechanical
components
To increase plant availability and therefore productivity, potential 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 monitoring system is now available for the Simatic S71200 to monitor mechanical components. Significant changes for example, 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 S71200, the condition monitoring
s ystem is integrated into the automation group with the
TIAPortal engineering framework. Four IEPE vibration acceleration sensors and one rotational speed sensor can be
connected to one SM1281 module of the CMS1200. Up to
seven SM1281 modules can be used per CPU. The SM1281
includes the necessary analysis software, allowing the received signals to be easily evaluated and saved to the modules 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.

Sinamics DCP
Efficient use of

With the Sinamics DCP (DC Power Converter), a bidirectional
DC/DC converter is added to the LV converter portfolio. The
device is scalable with regard to power, making it suitable
for industrial applications as well as smart grid applications.
The Sinamics DCPs main strengths lie in its high switching
frequency, its scalability (up to 4 parallel at input and/or
output), and the limited space required in the control cabinet. The Sinamics DCP maximizes the total power feed-in to
the public grid, making it a highly energy-efficient device.
With Starter and the Profibus and Profinet communication
interfaces, industrial applications are easy to implement.

The efficient Simotics XP 1MB1 motors for explosion proof areas (ignition protection type Ex tb, Ex tc,
and Ex nA) will soon be available in
combination with Sinamics converters. A well-tuned system ranging
from 0.09 to 200kW for converter
operation will be available, simplifying integration into automation systems. With the Advanced Process
L ibrary (APL), the drive system is
fully integrated into the Simatic

simplifies diagnostics and servicing

the effective maintenance.

The Simotics reluctance motors are part of the Simotics
GP/SD motor family for converter operation. The change in
the torque of reluctance motors is caused by the standard
Sinamics G120 inverter, which has a special vector control
system for reluctance motors. It can be easily commissioned
with motor codes. One advantage of the highly dynamic reluctance motors is their energy efficiency: they are significantly more efficient in the partial-load range compared to
asynchronous motors with the same power. The low intrinsic moment of inertia enables short ramp-up times. Reluctance technology is used primarily in applications with
pumps, fans, and compressors, as well as for conveyor technology and in mechanical engineering.

the manager has to come with the appropriate key
and clear the register before the cashier can continue. In the
case of industrial plants, the necessary authorizations for
