As industries strive for peak efficiency and reliability, intelligent motor starting solutions are becoming the go-to choice for safeguarding critical machinery and ensuring flawless performance.
From processing plants to general manufacturing, these technologies are revolutionising motor control, bridging the gap between Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT), and driving digital transformation.
APS Industrial, in collaboration with Siemens, has launched state-of-the-art intelligent motor starting solutions designed specifically for fixed-speed applications in Australian industries.
With three offerings—SIMOCODE, SIRIUS 3RC7, and SIRIUS eStarter—businesses can choose the ideal technology to optimise productivity, reduce downtime, and enhance operational safety, according to a media release from APS Industrial.
The SIMOCODE motor management system is a comprehensive solution for processing applications requiring robust performance and advanced functionality.
Suitable for all motor sizes, it provides intelligent motor protection, in-depth diagnostics, and seamless programming via Siemens’ TIA Portal.
These features enable predictive maintenance and reduce operational risks, making SIMOCODE an indispensable choice for continuous, high-stakes operations.
For original equipment manufacturers in industries such as food, beverage, and general manufacturing, the SIRIUS 3RC7 Intelligent Link Module offers a tailored motor starting option for motors up to 15kW.
This solution integrates seamlessly with Siemens Contactors and Circuit Breakers, forming a complete Intelligent Load Feeder while providing reliable motor protection, straightforward automation system connectivity, and enhanced operational transparency.
For those seeking a fully electronic, future-ready option, the SIRIUS eStarter could be an ideal choice for motors up to 3kW.
Using advanced semiconductor technology, it offers wear-free operation and ultra-fast short-circuit protection, responding up to 1,000 times faster than traditional methods.
Designed for high-frequency start-stop cycles, APS Industrial said it minimises stress on electrical systems with Smart Start technology, aligning with Siemens’ EcoTech standards for sustainable performance.
By offering these intelligent motor starting solutions, APS Industrial and Siemens aim to provide Australian businesses with the flexibility to address diverse operational needs, ensuring enhanced efficiency, reliability, and sustainability.
