Reducing maintenance work in conveyor systems
In a conventional set-up, contactors have to be repeatedly replaced due to contacts welding as a result of the continuous load on the conveyor lines. This leads to a high amount of maintenance with repeated system downtimes. That’s where space-saving distributed motor starters can play a vital role. Siemens introduces the SIMATIC ET 200SP with hybrid technology and integrated diagnostics data.
