SIEMENS PUSHES THE BUTTON
ON NEWRANGE OF SIRIUS ACT
SIGNALLING DEVICES
U sers have a choice of a wide
range of pushbuttons and
emergency stop buttons,
selector and key switches and acoustic
and optical indicators. The diverse
range in metal and plastic versions
for front panel mounting can also be
combined flexibly with different rear-
mounting contact and LED modules.
An online configurator simplifies
selection and ordering. The components
are connected to the controller via AS-
Interface, IO-Link or standard cabling.
Thanks to twist prevention and the
innovative snap-on concept, the new
commanding and signalling devices can
be installed quickly and easily without
errors even if holes are not keyed.
The new commanding and
signalling devices were developed
with a particular focus on ease of
installation. The snap-on concept used
in their design makes it possible to
assemble the front element and rear
holder quickly without special tools.
Disassembly is equally rapid thanks to
a release lever. A screwed connection
with reliable twist prevention means
that keyed holes are not essential for
reliable device installation.
Sirius Act is a modular product line
that enables users to choose from
four design ranges in plastic and
metal versions to meet their specific
application requirements.
The front of the holders features
different actuators and indicators,
while at the rear they provide slots for
contact and LED modules.
There is sufficient space to
accommodate up to three modules
side by side and two contact modules
one behind the other in each case.
The modules are available with screw
terminals, spring-type terminals or
solder pin connections
Thanks to its IP69K degree of
protection, Sirius Act is unaffected by
dust, oils, caustic solutions and extreme
environmental influences to the extent
that it can safely be cleaned with a
high-pressure jet at high-temperatures.
Their long mechanical service
life and certification for potentially
explosive atmospheres makes the new
commanding and signalling devices
suitable for every application.
Siemens provides an online
configurator for fast and convenient
component combination and
ordering. Single devices, housings
and inscriptions can be combined
individually to the customer’s
requirements in the configurator by
means of drag and drop.
An automatically generated CIN
number enables customers to reorder
their configuration at any time without
having to provide any further details. The
online configurator provides download
options for documentation, exploded
views and connection diagrams too.
Sirius Act is now available in
Australia through approved partners
Ramelec and Power Parameters, and
J.A. Russell in New Zealand. For further
