• Simple cyclical transmission of the current measured values, relay switching states and events to a controller
• Remote parameterization
• Automatic reparameterizing when devices are exchanged
• Simple duplication of identical or similar parameterizations
• Reduction of control current wiring
• Elimination of testing costs and wiring errors
• Reduction of configuration work
• Integration in TIA means clear diagnostics if a fault occurs
• Cost saving and space saving in control cabinet due to the elimination of AI and IO modules as well as analog signal converters and duplicated sensors

Advantages through energy efficiency

Overview of the energy management process

We offer you a unique portfolio for efficient energy management in the industry – a process that is used to optimize the energy requirements. We divide operational energy management into the three phases: identification, evaluation and implementation, and support you with suitable hardware and software solutions in each phase of the process.

The new SIRIUS industrial controls can also make a major contribution to the energy efficiency of a plant (http://www.siemens.com/sirius/energysaving).

The 3UG48 monitoring relays for IO-Link make the following contribution to the energy efficiency of the plant as a whole:

• Shutdown in the event of no-load operation (e. g. pump no-load operation)
• Reactive-power compensation by means of power factor monitoring
• Load shedding of predefined loads in the event of current overshoots
