Siemens limit switches and safety switches
SIRIUS 3SE5/ 3SE6 limit and safety switches provide accurate detection of moving parts around machines and plants in almost any application. Whether they are used to detect positions, restrict the movement of specific machine parts, monitor the position of movable safety systems or are included in safety functions according to EN ISO 14119 - our mechanical and non-contact switches are widely applicable and functional even under the harshest conditions.
For standard and failsafe application
SIRIUS 3SE5 limit switches can be used everywhere in the same design. This applies wherever requirements apply from machine safety for personal safety and for failsafe applications. They guarantee reliable detection up to SIL 3 (EN 62061) / PL e (EN ISO 13849-1). On versions with ASIsafe functionality, the slave is fully integrated into the housing. This saves you costs and space in the machine or control cabinet as no additional components are required.
Reliable detection
SIRIUS limit, safety, pull-cord, pedal switches detect movements with precision in the system or for mounting on movable protective covers (covers, doors, etc.) in virtually any application.
SIRIUS 3SE5 mechanical limit switches have a standardised design with modular construction and universally mountable control heads. This makes putting together the right switch easy for you. The choice of limit switch versions is huge and leaves nothing to be desired. Installation, wiring and exchange can be done extremely quickly. All versions are suitable for both standard and safety applications.
Manipulation protection and locking function
For increased manipulation protection, the SIRIUS 3SE5 series offers a safety switch with separate 3D-coded actuation key. This special actuation key allows 1 switch to be used up to SIL 2 (EN 62061) / PL d (EN ISO 13849-1). Control keys are available separately in various shapes and materials. From the non-contact 3SE6 safety switches, we offer reliable RFID coded versions for increased protection against interference and manipulation. This already gives them the highest safety level, SIL 3 /PLe.
We also have versions of fence switches with an interlock function available in both mechanical (3SE5) and non-contact (3SE6) variants.
Signal processing
After detection using the SIRIUS 3SE5/ 3SE6 limit or safety switch, the safety system processes the signal, this can be done, for example, with SIRIUS 3SK safety relays or with a SIMATIC S7 failsafe controller.

Siemens - SINAMICS G220 variable speed drive now also in IP55Read moreIn addition to the previously released IP20 variant of the SINAMICS G220 variable speed drive, the IP55 version of this innovative drive is now also available. This version comes standard with coated circuit boards that make the inverter resistant even outside the control cabinet to aggressive influences in a harsh industrial environment. As an option, a housing-mounted isolating switch can also be supplied to ensure safe disconnection of voltage without any other external components.

Siemens - New hardware CPU1514SP-2PNRead moreAlong with the release of TIA Portal V18, Siemens is introducing an extension to its hardware portfolio: the CPU1514SP-2PN. This new addition to the range builds on the existing controllers in the ET200SP series, including the CPU 1510SP(F) and CPU 1512SP(F), and offers significant improvements in speed, memory capacity and connectivity. What characterizes the ET 200SP series remains: its compact and space-saving design. The CPU1514SP-2PN is designed to meet the growing needs of industrial automation. With a more powerful processor and an additional PROFINET IO interface, users can now implement network isolation. This opens the door to various applications, such as separating automation and IT connections. The CPU 1514SP-2PN is available in four variants; a standard variant, a failsafe variant, a technology variant and a combination thereof.

Dymotec - Open Lines in a ‘Perfect Storm’Read moreCOVID-19 and global component scarcity threw the industry into a ‘perfect storm’. Industrial automator Dymotec and Breemes kept the phone lines constantly open to tackle the scarcity problem together with creativity and proactivity. Dymotec in Olen (B) focuses on industrial automation spanning a broad spectrum of industries, from food and pharma to logistics and metal. The company has been around for 30 years and joined the Jeco Energies Group in 2022. Dymotec now has some 50 employees and also has a flexible shell with technicians, programmers and project engineers. Ever since its establishment, the company from Kempen has had a relationship with (the predecessors of) Breemes.

Stimac - Good technical support for ever-changing specificationsRead moreIf the description for an automation project is clear from the start, it is easy for the industrial automation specialist to give it substance. In practice, however, specifications often change during the course of a project. This happened to Stimac/SNK when designing the control technology for a horticultural machine. For the problems that arose during the process, itsme quickly provided Stimac/SNK with a solution. “When a customer calls us, we respond immediately. So it’s nice to have a supplier like itsme who can also help immediately.”
