Siemens - 8WD46 configurable signal column


High system availability and efficient engineering with this flexible signal column. Each segment individually configurable.


Siemens has further expanded its portfolio of SIRIUS 8WD4 signal columns with a new high-performance signal column, which is electronically configurable as standard. Making it particularly easy to adapt to individual application requirements.


Combining modern industrial design and robustness for both indoor and outdoor applications, the 8WD46 signal columns provide reliable signalling of various operating states. To this end, they offer a complete range of signalling levels and functions.


In addition to individual settings, users can set pre-programmed modes, such as variable fill level or full-surface signalling. 
Clear and unambiguous signalling not only makes applications safer; users also recognise incidents faster and can solve potential problems in time.


This significantly reduces response, waiting times and downtime. As the columns consist of a single unit, users also benefit from a simplified ordering process. 


Highlights at a glance

  • Efficient engineering through electronic configuration; 
  • Optimal communication and 3-wire connection through optional digital interface (IO-Link)  
  • Integration into TIA Portal via IO-Link; 
  • Flexibility in application processes thanks to different signalling modes; 
  • Eight variants (4 × USB, 4 × IO-Link) with 9 or 15 LED segments and with or without acoustic module;  
  • Protection class: IP66/ IP69K & NEMA4, 4X, 12, 13.
