Siemens – Revolution in Motion Control
How machine builders cut engineering time in half
It’s the start of a new work week. While you’re putting the finishing touches on an important project, a request comes in: the customer reports a failure. The machine is down, but the deadline is approaching. Fast action is required.
For many machine builders, this is reality. The market for small to medium-sized machines is under pressure. They must deliver faster, reduce costs without compromising quality, and meet strict standards while skilled personnel remain scarce. The demand for integrated solutions that are not only powerful but also easy to implement and efficient to use is growing.
The game changer: SINAMICS, SIMATIC and TIA Portal
Siemens delivers automation systems designed for simplicity, speed, and (digital) safety, at the right investment.
A powerful solution for machines that need to be both economical and functional is the combination of SINAMICS S200/S210 servo systems with the SIMATIC S7-1200 G2 PLC, integrated into Siemens’ TIA Portal engineering environment.
This combination is suitable for single axes, coordinated motion, or simple kinematics.
TIA Portal
Siemens’ Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) Portal is a software platform and “all-in-one workspace” that unites all aspects of your automation projects in a single user-friendly environment.
Sinamics
- The S200 is optimized for the basic segment, offering high dynamics, a compact design, safety functions such as STO and SS1 via terminals (SIL3), integrated braking resistor, and global applicability.
- The S210 goes further, targeting broader applications with shorter cycle times, various servo motor types, and safety functions via PROFIsafe. The One Cable Connection (OCC) combines power, encoder, and brake in a single cable. With an integrated EMC filter, the design is highly complete.
- Future readiness is ensured through an integrated web server, digital twin capabilities, security-by-default settings, user management & access control, as well as firmware updates.
Both systems integrate seamlessly with SIMATIC PLCs, including the S7-1200 G2(F). For high-end applications, they can be used with the S7-1500T(F).

Avebe - A Good Night’s Sleep Thanks to FactoryScanRead moreCompanies often have no clear idea of the installed base of industrial automation in their factories and warehouses. With FactoryScan, itsme can provide an overview of the current status of automation components such as PLCs. Potato processor Royal Avebe uses the results to update their component stock and assess future availability. The scan is intended to reduce the number of hardware-related disruptions Process Control Engineer Johan Wierenga has to deal with. It also helps him sleep better, knowing the stock is up to date.

Elektro VV - The right expertise in the right placeRead moreElektro VV, based in the Belgian province of Antwerp, carries out general electrical work and solar panel installations for both companies and private individuals. For complex projects, the company calls on Breemes, which brings expertise such as low-voltage studies. “The challenge is to design a panel that can be built quickly and efficiently, and is future-proof.”
-
IECRead moreTo control the expansion of a silo park, engineering & construction company IEC called on Breemes. Being involved in the engineering from the beginning, the electrical service provider was able to make smart proposals for both the low-voltage part and the PLC control. ‘We have always been able to find each other well and when changes occurred, we were quickly on the same page with Breemes.’
-
TR Service - Future-proof low-voltage panelRead moreTR-Service provides industrial maintenance using all disciplines, from electrical and mechanical to hydraulic and pneumatic. With support from Breemes, the company installed a large low-voltage panel. ‘After discussing my summary plan with them, I decided to just do it,’ says director-owner Raoul Tielens. At Breemes' suggestion, the panel was future-proofed by preparing it for power monitoring.
