Siemens is offering new features at the light+building

Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Under the motto “Make your building more livable,” Siemens will use the light+building trade fair from 13 to 18 March 2016 to demonstrate how commercial buildings can be designed to be comfortable and convenient yet also economical to operate.

At Booth B56 in Hall 11.0, the company will be showcasing products, systems and solutions for building management in a smart building context and also for power distribution and management, including in increasingly distributed power supply systems. As a technology pioneer, Siemens will be explaining how all these aspects can be interlinked as part of the drive towards digitalization and automation.

Buildings, as space for living and working in, should be designed in a way that makes them more pleasant to use and more economical to run. Siemens will be showcasing its products, solutions, and systems for achieving this at its 1,100 square meter booth at this leading international fair for light and building management. The exhibits at the Siemens booth will include a new release of the Siemens Desigo CC building management platform for digitalizing buildings and infrastructure, and an extended Total Room Automation system for optimizing all room functions simultaneously. Siemens also provides its customers with energy data management services which help them to determine, analyze and optimize the current energy efficiency of a building, thereby optimizing its overall performance. Emphasizing the connection between power distribution and building management, Siemens is linking up its new communication-enabled 3VA molded case circuit breaker to the Desigo CC building management platform. This seamlessly combined power and building management system enables additional potential to be leveraged in infrastructure data management.

For automation tasks, Siemens will be showcasing the portfolio additions for the Simatic S7-1200 basic controller. An innovation here is the SM1238 AI Energy Meter Module that enables the precise measurement of power flows. Other additions to the basic controller range include fail-safe applications in the lower power range. The new Safety CPU 1212FC, like the more powerful CPU1214FC and CPU1215FC, is designed as a single device for carrying out a range of standard and safety-related automation tasks, for instance, monitoring a protection door. Compared with conventional solutions, this new device entails lower wiring costs, saves space and offers greater safety concept flexibility.

These products are backed up by planning software, tender documentation, a large volume of engineering data and specialized consulting services. They support electrical power planners, switchgear manufacturers and fitters in their work by making the planning of a safe electrical energy distribution system simpler, faster and fault-free and ensuring that its implementation is in compliance with the relevant standards.
