Course description

Hi,

welcome to this course where we efficiently and reliably plan Siemens SIRIUS ACT Series 22mm pilot devices, most common ones:
  • Emergency stop push button
  • push buttons under normal conditions (START/STOP)
  • pilot lights (GREEN/RED)
  • selector switch with both momentary and latching contacts/positions (SPECIAL CASE STUDY)
  • twin push button (space saving solution and looks cool).
Generally, problem with the planning of such devices is that they have a lot of small pieces (similar to terminals with their accessories) that constitute a whole working part.

This might get complicated sometimes. So that's why this course - to help you efficiently plan complete pilot devices without making errors or omitting necessary parts (or missing a logic NO/NC), holder, labeling plate, label holder, actuator of the right type etc.

As we work our way through the course I will show you additionally what all these components are for and I will parallel to that show you in EPLAN circuit diagrams where we typically incorporate such devices.

Second part of the course will cover Allen Bradley pilot devices. So make sure to check also that one, once available (soon).

Altogether a well rounded story that will make your life easier when planning manual controls for your project. From real-life, as always.

See you in the lectures.

Wish you all the best and stay safe and well.

Best regards,

Ivan
