ET 200SP Double Baseunits Reduce Costs, Speed Commissioning
SIMATIC ET 200SP Double BaseUnits reduce costs, lower inventory levels, and speed setup of an ET 200SP station. Previously, OEMs using the SIMATIC ET 200SP modular distributed I/O system had to buy one base module for every I/O module. If they were building a machine with 200 I/O modules, they had to buy 200 base […]
SIMATIC Notifier Brings Alerts to Mobile Devices
Response time is essential to maintaining production, but maintenance and operations can’t always be at their desks or next to the HMI. Now, the new SIMATIC Notifier app sends automation system alerts direct to your smartwatch or other mobile device.

Update your CPU1518F-4 PN/DP MFP Firmware
Firmware consists of the background programs that run a machine and help it to do what it’s supposed to do. From time to time, it is necessary to make improvements to firmware. These updates are done to improve functionality, integrate with the latest technologies, fix issues or improve security. It is vital to apply the […]
New SIMATIC IPC DiagMonitor Software Enables Preventive Maintenance
Maintenance practices have changed markedly in recent times. Methodologies such as run-to-failure and time-based maintenance have been found to be far more expensive in the long run compared to a preventive approach. However, preventive maintenance is only as good as the accuracy and speed of the information received on the health of components, systems and […]

Perhaps the biggest trend in IT is the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Over the past year, it has transitioned from an item of interest to an enabler of the digital enterprise. According to a report by MarketsandMarkets, the AI market is expected to grow from $21.46 billion in 2018 to $190.61 billion by 2025. […]
UPS8600 UPS and SITOP BAT8600 Battery Modules Make SITOP PSU8600 Power Supply Uninterruptible
The SITOP PSU8600 modular power supply system, which set the standard for flexibility, efficiency, and connectivity, has now become an uninterruptible power supply. The SITOP PSU8600 already buffers power outages of up to 20 seconds. With the addition of the UPS8600 UPS and BAT8600 battery modules, the power supply can now bridge power interruptions ranging […]
SIMATIC Target 1500S Simplifies Code Development with S7-1500 PLCs
C/C++ development for the S7-1500S software controllers just got easier, courtesy of the newest version of the SIMATIC Target 1500S add-on software. This add-on software transfers model-based controller code directly from MATLAB Simulink to the SIMATIC S7-1500S soft controller without any need for high-level programming by the OEM, Manufacturers today are under constant pressure to […]
ET 200SP Interface Module Speeds Installation with Integrated Three-Port Switch
The ET 200SP distributed I/O system just further increased flexibility by adding an integrated three-port PROFINET switch to the latest version of the IM155-6PN/3 interface module. The IM155-6PN/3 connects the ET 200SP to the machine bus system. The extra switch ports are targeted at installations with outgoing PROFINET spur lines, for example for connections to […]
