Nuremberg,Germany.ThefamilyofautomaticdoorcontrolsystemsfromtheSiemensIndustryAutomationDi-visionhasanewmember:theSidoorATD400V,developedspecificallyforuseinhoistingandrollingdoorsinelevators.
The hoisting and rolling door drive sys-tem ATD400V is designed to allow simple, rapid installation and paramete-rization and also flexible movement of vertical elevator door systems. This maintenance-free drive unit comprises the ATD400V controller, a DC motor and a power supply. A convenient “one-button control” saves time by determining the door’s opening width, dynamic mass and end positions. Using these parameters, the door con-trol system generates the optimum tra-vel profile taking into account the maxi-mum admissible forces and energy levels.
The compact design of the Sidoor ATD400V reduces installation time to a minimum. The system is type tested and test inspectorate (TÜV) certified. The Sidoor ATD400V can be optionally supplied with an emergency power mo-dule and works with any make of door.

Wels,Austria.Theworld’sbiggeststampmanufacturerTrodatbasedinWelshasreducedtheCO2emissionsresultingfromthemanufactureofitsnewPrintystampgenerationbyasmuchas49percent.ThisachievementisbasedontheuseofSiemensNXandTeamcentersoftwareinthedesignandmanufactureoftheself-inkingstamp.
Synchronous technology in the design system and joint data management in Teamcenter facilitate the parallel develop-ment of products, injection molding tools and assembly facilities. The most impor-tant aim for Trodat in developing the fourth generation of its top selling product Printy was to minimize the carbon dioxide emissions resulting from the manufactu-ring process. This has been achieved by the consistent use of Siemens NX and Teamcenter software throughout the enti-re production process. Design measures
in the product itself, reduced consump-tion of materials and the use of recycled plastic helped to save raw materials and energy in the production process and cut down the weight for simpler transportati-on. The replacement of composite materi-als and use of purely mechanical connec-tions in the stamps also make for simpler recycling at the end of their useful life.
Trodat has been using Siemens NX and Teamcenter software in its manufacturing process for over ten years: From the ge-neration of product geometry data for tool design, through to programming the five-axis milling centers used to produce the complex molds, the complete products exist in the form of computer models. The models can be generated, simulated and gradually optimized using software before a single chip is machined on the actual machine – saving on costly machine downtimes and preventing defects which are frequently only detected once manu-

facturing is in full swing. The finished designs are transferred in Teamcenter to the production department, which in some cases may be located abroad.
Founded in 1912, success came to Tro-dat as early as 1947 with the launch of its date stamps produced in the plastic ma-terial Trolitul. The self-inking stamp Printy, manufactured already in its third generati-on, was originally launched back in 1976. On sale today in around 350 different ver-sions, the Printy success story is set to continue.

Meyrin,Switzerland.TheCernEurope-anNuclearResearchCenterinMeyrinintheSwissCantonofGenevaisthesiteoftheworld’sbiggestparticlephysicslaboratoryandacceleratorcenter.Cernishometotheworld’sbiggestparticleaccelerator,theLHC(LargeHadronCollider).Alongsidethecontrol,monitoringanddocumentati-onofexperimentsconductedintheLHC,since2001alltechnicalpro-cessesatCernhavebeenmonitoredandcontrolledbyaScadasystemfromtheSimaticHMIfamily:SimaticWinCCOpenArchitecture(WinCCOA).
The scientific community is making ever greater use of high-end industrial stan-dard systems. The decision taken at Cern to use the Simatic WinCC OA was down to its extreme stability and connec-tivity, its open system architecture and its resistance to external disturbances, as well as its capacity for coping reliably with data overload situations.
The demands made on the Scada sy-stem at Cern are enormous: Over ten million I/O (input and output) monitoring channels are processed by hundreds of computer systems using a widely distri-buted control system. Its ability to handle a large number of channels and high vo-lumes of data makes the Simatic WinCC OA highly suited for networked and re-dundant high-end control systems. The Scada system ensures continuous, high-performance communication right from
the field level – in other words from the machine – to the control center.
The open communication concept behind WinCC OA permits the integration of the most diverse components using OPC (Object Linking and Embedding OLE for process control), different field buses and telecontrol protocols. WinCC OA can also be used alongside Windows on Li-nux and Solaris operating systems, and offers scope for long-term data archiving using database management system software Oracle RdB, which features hie-rarchical compression stages and balan-cing functions. At the European Nuclear Research Center Cern, for instance, 200,000 value changes are processed per second in an Oracle Cluster.
Siemens subsidiary ETM professional control GmbH based in Eisenstadt, Aus-tria, has developed and marketed the Scada system Simatic WinCC Open Ar-chitecture for over 25 years. Since March 2007, ETM has been a fully-owned Sie-mens subsidiary. As part of the Siemens Simatic HMI family, the Scada system monitors and controls applications requi-ring a high degree of client-specific ad-aptability, large and/or complex applica-tions and projects that impose specific system requirements and functions.
Cern, the European Organization for Nu-clear Research, is a large-scale research center near Meyrin in the Canton of Ge-neva, Switzerland. Cern is concerned with fundamental physics research,

studying the basic constituents of matter and the interaction between elementary particles. This addresses the fundamen-tal question of how the universe was for-med and how it works. Large hadron col-liders are used to accelerate particles to almost the speed of light and to cause them to collide with one other. A large number of different particle detectors are used to reconstruct the trajectory of the particles generated by these collisions. This allows conclusions to be drawn about the nature of both the collided and the newly formed particles. This process is an enormous technical undertaking, both in terms of the manufacture and operation of the equipment and also of the extreme demands made on compu-ting performance for evaluating the large volumes of data. This is another reason why Cern is operated and financed on an international level.
The name Cern is derived originally from the acronym of the founding organiza-tion, the Conseil Européen pour la Re-cherche Nucléaire. Today, Cern is known as the European Organization for Nucle-ar Research or the Organisation Europé-enne pour la Recherche Nucléaire. Cern is currently run by 20 member states, employs a staff of around 3,200, along-side approximately 10,000 guest scien-tists from 85 countries assisting with Cern experiments.

… that closed-loop and open-loop control technology from Siemens ensures the transport of natural gas in Russia and at the same time helps to lower the costs?
In order to guarantee an adequately high flow and trans-port volume, natural gas has to be conveyed through the pipeline at a suitable pressure level right the way from the point of extraction to the consumer. To compensate for pressure loss due to internal friction, compressor sta-tions are installed all the way along the pipeline. Each of these is fitted with several turbo compressors working to boost the pressure. The multiprocessor-based control and operations management system MSKU 5000 from ZAO Systema Service which is used in these stations guarantees sustained and reliable operation, as well as maximum supply quality and security during natural gas transport. This is achieved through the use of integral automation components which have been tried and tes-ted in the manufacturing and process industries: Sima-tic S7-400 controls (standard, high available and fail-safe) with high-end application module FM 458 for fast

… that a fertilizer producer in Thailand uses weighing tech-nology from Siemens to reduce the volume and environ-mental impact of waste that would otherwise end up in a landfill? The facility in Thailand manufactures organic ferti-lizer from compost, animal manure and vegetable matter.
The build-up of deposits on the conveyor belts tends to cause problems in the production process. As Milltronics MSI weighing technology has no moving or rotating parts, the belt scales can be cleaned quickly and simply without the need to interrupt production. The Sitrans WS300 speed sensor accurately relays the belt speed to a Milltro-nics BW500 integrator, which monitors rate, load, totalized weight, and speed. The belt scale system is linked into the Simatic PCS 7 process control system using the Profibus DP communications protocol.

Steeped in tradition, for many years the Günzburg site was home to the long es-tablished company Wallace & Tiernan GmbH, which has been a part of the Sie-mens family since 2004. Originally open-ed in 1955 as a production facility, the
site is now also used as a development center. Alongside systems for the disin-fection of drinking, process and leisure pool water using chlorine compounds or UV light, the production facility also ma-nufactures plants for the treatment of process water and the production of pure water by reverse osmosis. Another area of focus are analyzers and process con-trollers as well as feed systems for appli-cations including the treatment of swim-ming pool water. To address the stringent quality standards applied to swimming pool water in Germany, the process tech-nology which has evolved is highly sophi-sticated. Around one third of public pools in Germany are fitted with equipment supplied from Günzburg.
The Barsbüttel branch near Hamburg looks back on more than 30 years of ex-perience in the development, manufac-ture and sale of pure and ultra-pure wa-ter systems. These are used in all kinds of laboratories and in industrial applica-tions. The former company SG Water be-came a part of Siemens in 2008. Labora-tory water treatment systems from Barsbüttel produce pure and ultra-pure water using technical processes such as
