Attend One of Our Siemens Seminars at Our Upcoming Industrial Automation Expo!

C&E will be hosting an Industrial Automation Expo in Carmel, IN on Oct. 25th, 2016. Our expo is manufacturer's-driven to share ideas and technology keeping manufacturing alive in America. There will be workshops and seminars throughout the day highlighting safety, automation, sensing, vision, controls, and motion products. Below is a list of our variety of Siemens seminars that will be held during the expo. Please stop by for a visit and attend as many seminars as you'd like.

Motion Control in a PLC... Machine Control in a Drive:

• Discover what is possible with Siemens! Hear an overview on the built-in capabilities of Siemens PLC control for servo drives, and also the limitation which dictate a Motion Controller instead.

Rockwell to Siemens Conversions:

• Hear from a systems integrator to the possible benefits of a control platform conversion. You will also learn in this session how this process can be managed to be an efficient and effective task.

Siemens EIP Connectivity:

• If a conversion is not in your planning, included in this presentation will be Siemens EIP Connectivity. We will show you how you can use products such as Siemens Drives and HMI's with  your current Rockwell processor. Discover how simple this process can be with tools Siemens has added for your use.

UHF RFID On The Factory Floor:

• Industrial RFID systems can allow for part traceability and control in your manufacturing processes. UHF RFID has been utilized in warehousing and logistics for years. Deploying UHF RFID in an industrial setting has a unique set of challenges and Siemens has developed a set of products to address those challenges. Attend this seminar to learn how Siemens readers and deployment tools can solve your UHF applications.

Join C&E's Webinar: Siemens's VFDs; What Drive Is Right For You?

Join C&E and Motion Specialist, Jay Swank, for a webinar covering the topics below. This webinar will be held on Thursday, April, 14th.

Recently, Siemens announced the release of the single-axis SINAMICS V20 AC drive with easy setup and operation. The V20 is the cost-effective, reliable, and easy-to-use drive for basic applications. The Siemens SINAMICS G120 is considered the modular, universal drive to access the widest range of requirements. It leverages its strengths in general machinery construction, as well as in the automotive, textile, and packaging industries.

Siemens offers several VFD families and each has a slightly different feature-set to suit the diverse range of automation needs. The SINAMICS family of drives, that represents a completely new design, addresses the potential to reduce costs. In this webinar you will learn about the SINAMICS V20 and G120, along with all of Siemens VFD families, and how to select the right one for your application.

Visit C&E At The Upcoming Industrial Automation Expos!

New Technology * Technical Workshops * Product Specialists

It may be April Fool's Day, but products provided by C&E sales are no joke! Come view the many things we have to offer at our upcoming Industrial Automation Expos. These events are manufacturer-driven to share ideas and technology keeping manufacturing alive in America. These expos are no charge and offer seminars throughout the day highlighting safety, automation, vision, controls, and motion products.

These events will be held on May 24th in West Chester, OH and on May 26th in Evansville, IN.

CLICK HERE for details, more information, and registration.

Come and Join One of The Many Workshops/Seminars Offered Throughout the Day:

• What Drive Is Right For My Application? Siemens Drives; User-friendly Through Modularity: Flexible combinability with a high degree of operator friendliness, learn how to choose the correct drive for your application. Siemens offers several VFD families and each has a slightly different feature-set to suit the diverse range of automation needs. The SINAMICS family of drives, that represents a completely new design, addresses the potential to reduce costs. In this seminar, you will learn about the SINAMICS V20 and G120, along with all of Siemens VFD families, and how to select the right one for your application. 
• Wireless Monitoring - Eliminate the Loss of Productivity: By wireless remote monitoring processes you can catch problems before they occur. Wireless nodes are self-contained and require no cables, cordsets, or external power. They are designed for the most challenging control and monitoring applications. See how Banner Wireless products can measure, monitor, and collect data to reduce production costs.
• Siemens "Totally Integrated Automation": Learn how Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) allows for the holistic optimization for the production process. Siemens SIMATIC S7-1200 & S7-1500 with TIA Portal offers new possibilities to further increase machine productivity and make engineering processes more efficient. TIA Portal seamlessly integrates safety technology for the protection of personnel, machinery, and the environment.
• Safeguarding Potential Hazardous Machine Operation: C&E's Safety Specialist, Heinz Knackstedt, will guide you through the steps to provide safe and effective machines and processes. Learn to identify possible hazardous situations encountered while performing tasks using the Risk Assessment process. Determine the level of risk to help select the risk reduction measure(s) which reduces that risk to an acceptable level by utilizing safeguarding devices and Banner's expandable safety controller.
• Turck IO Control Networks: See TURCK'S complete line of distributed IO products for industrial fieldbus using Multi-protocol Ethernet, EtherCAT, Profibus, DeviceNet, Modbus RTU and CANopen. TURCK offers EtherNet solutions where IO can connect directly or indirectly to EtherNet via on-machine, in-cabinet, block and modular IO products. TURCK's multiprotocol products are self-configuring and offer a seamless transition to EtherNet; whatever EtherNet that may be.
• Quality Inspection Technology: By understanding how a vision system can increase product quality you will begin to realize lower production costs.  With integrated LED lighting, IP67 housing, easy-to-use software, and easy integration with factory systems the BOA Spot instantly delivers high-value capabilities at a low cost of ownership. At the other end of the spectrum;  we have LMI's 2D and 3D imaging systems for precision measurement and cloud-point data applications.
• Minimizing Arc Flash Hazards with Modular Disconnect Enclosures: This discussion will center on the ways Rittal's modular freestanding enclosures can be used to mitigate arc flash hazards. When considering safety and design flexibility during the planning stage; Rittal's isolation enclosure solutions provide the capability to isolate high- and low-voltage equipment within the confines of their respective enclosure, assisting in the compliance with NFPA 70E workplace safety standards.
• Switchable Magnets for Industrial Automation: See how Magswitch has changed steel fabrication and handling processes by improving safety, productivity and efficiency of metalworking operations. Magswitch mechanical devices turn a permanent magnetic field completely ON and OFF providing fail-safe automation tools. Magswitch can replace costly vacuum cups and traditional pin clamps, which over time present expensive energy efficiency and breakage problems.

Driven to Succeed: The Siemens SINAMICS V20

The heart of any manufacturing process nests basic operations like pumping, moving, ventilating and processing, that help a product come into fruition. The Siemens SINAMICS V20 is a simple drive solution that automates those simple motion sequences, while simultaneously providing user benefits, such as:

Ease of Installation

• Push through or panel mounting
• Side by side mounting without space between

Ease of Use

• Parameter loading without power on the drive
• Built-in application macros
• Keeps running through power dips

Cost Efficiency

• ECO mode motor flux reduction
• Hibernation mode

The SINAMICS V20 can also be individually adapted to a particular application or user requirement using various options - for example, an external BOP, connecting cable, filter, braking resistors, shielding are all available.
