The Siemens Industry Automation Division has added the Sirius M200D motor starter to its Profienergy-compatible product range. The device type was therefore expanded with Profienergy functionality. Using the multivendor, device-independent Profienergy profile, which has been standardised according to the Profibus User Organisation (PNO), it is possible to shut down individual machines or even entire production sections from a central control system via Profinet communication. During breaks in production, loads are co-ordinately shut down from a central control system while other automation components remain in operation, for example for safety-related operations. At the end of the break, the loads are co-ordinately switched on again.
These robust and compact M200D motor starters are available as direct or reversing starters, with both mechanical and electronic switching up to 5,5 kilowatts, each with optional brake control. Possible applications range from paint shops in the automotive industry through to conveying systems in airports. The devices have a wide range of functions designed to protect the motor and to diagnose and monitor the process.
