Siemens – Revolution in Motion Control
How machine builders cut engineering time in half
It’s the start of a new work week. While you’re putting the finishing touches on an important project, a request comes in: the customer reports a failure. The machine is down, but the deadline is approaching. Fast action is required.
For many machine builders, this is reality. The market for small to medium-sized machines is under pressure. They must deliver faster, reduce costs without compromising quality, and meet strict standards while skilled personnel remain scarce. The demand for integrated solutions that are not only powerful but also easy to implement and efficient to use is growing.
The game changer: SINAMICS, SIMATIC and TIA Portal
Siemens delivers automation systems designed for simplicity, speed, and (digital) safety, at the right investment.
A powerful solution for machines that need to be both economical and functional is the combination of SINAMICS S200/S210 servo systems with the SIMATIC S7-1200 G2 PLC, integrated into Siemens’ TIA Portal engineering environment.
This combination is suitable for single axes, coordinated motion, or simple kinematics.
TIA Portal
Siemens’ Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) Portal is a software platform and “all-in-one workspace” that unites all aspects of your automation projects in a single user-friendly environment.
Sinamics
- The S200 is optimized for the basic segment, offering high dynamics, a compact design, safety functions such as STO and SS1 via terminals (SIL3), integrated braking resistor, and global applicability.
- The S210 goes further, targeting broader applications with shorter cycle times, various servo motor types, and safety functions via PROFIsafe. The One Cable Connection (OCC) combines power, encoder, and brake in a single cable. With an integrated EMC filter, the design is highly complete.
- Future readiness is ensured through an integrated web server, digital twin capabilities, security-by-default settings, user management & access control, as well as firmware updates.
Both systems integrate seamlessly with SIMATIC PLCs, including the S7-1200 G2(F). For high-end applications, they can be used with the S7-1500T(F).
Ready for your motion control challenges
With Siemens solutions, you choose consistency, scalability, reliability, and future readiness. Not separate puzzle pieces, but one integrated whole.

Siemens - Cybersecurity - Defense in DepthRead moreWith the concept of ‘Defense in Depth,’ Siemens offers a layered security model that provides comprehensive and in-depth protection for industrial installations. This concept is based on the recommendations of IEC 62443, the world's leading standard for industrial cybersecurity.
-
Siemens - SIRIUS 3RC7 ILMRead moreWith the SIRIUS 3RC7 Intelligent Link Module (ILM), Siemens now offers a fast and easy way to achieve full data transparency down to the field level by making conventional motor starters intelligent. This plug-and-play extension module combines Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) with minimal installation and commissioning effort. This allows the data available from field devices to be efficiently utilized.

Sekisui AlveoRead moreFoam producer Sekisui Alveo has a large factory in Roermond. To support production and maintenance, warehouses and distribution points with thousands of different items are spread across the various halls. Think spare parts, personal protection equipment and consumables. The company cooperates intensively with itsme for management, such as recently with the step-by-step introduction of vendor managed inventory (VMI) for the grab stock of mechanical items.
-
IECRead moreTo control the expansion of a silo park, engineering & construction company IEC called on Breemes. Being involved in the engineering from the beginning, the electrical service provider was able to make smart proposals for both the low-voltage part and the PLC control. ‘We have always been able to find each other well and when changes occurred, we were quickly on the same page with Breemes.’
-
Heliox - Charged for DeliveryRead moreHeliox, a developer and manufacturer of charging systems for electric buses and trucks, was already working with itsme when production still took place in the Netherlands. Today, production has shifted to Slovakia, Portugal, and Moldova, and is also happening in the US. itsme remains the “irreplaceable” partner for the supply of electrical components and cable harnesses.
-
BLOK System SupplyRead moreBlok System Supply and itsme have maintained an intensive relationship for many years. Early last year, this was further deepened with electronic data exchange via the Smart Connected Supplier Network. ‘It saves an enormous amount of time and reduces errors. We always have real-time information automatically.’ However, time for personal contact is not saved. ‘That is precisely what makes itsme a very nice party to work with.’
