1 SAnswers for 2012 Introduction Contactors and Contactor Assemblies SIRIUS 3RW Soft Starter Protection Equipment Load Feeders and Motor Starters for Use in the Control CabinetMonitoring and Control Devices 2 Introduction1/2 Answers for efficiency Benefits for the environment and for your controls. The basis for advanced for Industry answers the challenges in the manufacturing and the process industry as well as in the building automation business. Our drive and automation solutions based on Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) and Totally Integrated Power (TIP) are employed in all kinds of industry.

2 In the manufacturing and the process industry. In industrial as well as in functional offers automation, drive, and low-voltage switching technology as well as industrial software from standard products up to entire industry solutions . The industry software enables our industry customers to optimize the entire value chain from product design and development through manufacture and sales up to after-sales service. Our electrical and mechanical components offer integrated technologies for the entire drive train from couplings to gear units, from motors to control and drive solutions for all engineering industries.

3 Our technology platform TIP offers robust solutions for power high quality of our products sets industry-wide benchmarks. High environmental aims are part of our eco-management, and we implement these aims consistently. Right from product design, possible effects on the environment are examined. Hence many of our products and systems are RoHS compliant (Restriction of Hazardous Substances). As a matter of course, our production sites are certified according to DIN EN ISO 14001, but to us, environmental protection also means most efficient utilization of valuable resources.

4 The best example are our energy-efficient drives with energy savings up to 60 %.Check out the opportunities our automation and drive solutions provide. And discover how you can sustainably enhance your competitive edge with efficiency - benefits for the environment and for your its energy-efficient solutions and green technologies, the Siemens environmental portfolio offers a threefold benefit: for our customers, improving their bottom line through lower energy costs and higher productivity; for future generations, helping to maintain and improve the environment and living conditions.

5 And for Siemens itself, tapping into attractive markets and securing the company's wide range of environmental technologies and energy-efficient solutionsSiemens has been supplying products and solutions for environmental protection and climate control since its earliest beginnings. To name but one example, it was back in 1873 that Werner von Siemens developed a technology for avoiding ash emissions from , we have the Siemens environmental portfolio in which we bundle those technologies which have been shown to help our customers with pollution control.

6 These include the following:Products and systems which are far more energy-efficient than comparable solutions , such as gas and steam turbines for solar power, low-energy light bulbs, and intelligent building services engineeringSystems which use renewable sources of energy and their components, such as wind power plants and steam turbines for solar powerEnvironmental technologies which we harness for the provision of clean water and purer airThe Siemens environmental portfolio covers the entire energy conversion chain from efficient power generation and energy distribution right through to usage and green industrial controlsThe industrial control components are fine-tuned to minimize power loss and thus provide both passive and active support in implementing efficient systems and components of

7 SIRIUS Innovations perform at extremely low levels of inherent loss. The new generation heralded a further significant reduction of 10 % on average. This means that not only is it possible to save on energy costs but also to reduce the amount of waste heat in the control cabinet. This then translates to a higher packing density in the control cabinet and a reduction in the required cooling efficiency. 1/41 SIRIUS reduces power lossOur most energy-efficient contactors are fitted with an electronic coil control. This reduces the power loss by up to 92 %.

8 Our soft starters use intelligent, integrated current bypass circuits. The power loss is thereby reduced by 92 % during relays are fitted with an electronic release instead of a bimetal trip unit and boast not only a wider setting range but also a reduction of up to 98 % in no-load comparison with conventional feeders, the power loss in the compact feeder has been reduced by up to 80 %. This is due to the combination of the most efficient technologies in one managementEnergy management can be instrumental in increasing plant productivity and thus bringing about a significant improvement to the competitive ability of a company in all sectors of a continuous process, a sophisticated concept will deliver a consistent reduction in energy consumption.

9 Our energy management strategy is based on three phases: Identify , Evaluate and Implement .Compatible hardware and software record the energy flux in the system, generating visual displays and analyzing the flows. The data thus obtained can be taken to make an initial evaluation of the potential savings and also form the basis for an intelligent and efficient energy management SIRIUS switching and protection devices deliver measured energy dataThe communication-capable SIRIUS switching and protection devices can deliver energy values continually, without any additional installation expense and input, e.

10 G. to a higher-level energy management system, and thus offer the required transparency in energy Siemens technology answers for a green society!We lead the field in terms of innovation and sustainable added value in industrial control industrial controlsThe SIRIUS range has everything you need for switching, protecting and starting loads. Products for monitoring, control, detection, commanding, signaling and power supply round off the spectrum of industrial control cabinets should be quick, easy, flexible and space-saving.
