Industrial Controls – efficiently combined

The SIRIUS modular system – one system that helps you solve all switching tasks

The innovative SIRIUS modular system offers the largest available switching device portfolio in the market, with more than 50.000 tested and approved combinations. A completely new generation of circuit breakers, contactors, overload relays and load feeders in seven sizes up to 250 kW is ready for use. The benefit of the modular system lies in its modular set-up of the components across all sizes. Everything fits together. The SIRIUS modular system combines digital planning and a standard-compliant implementation for your requirement, regardless of the application or location. Comprehensive planning tools, consulting expertise, and tested product combinations will assist you in the transition from digital to actual control cabinet construction.

Is your cabinet up to date?

The modular system in detail Today everything has to go faster. The trend toward digitalization increases the pressure on industry. What technologies should be used for starting and monitoring motors? Are there any tips and tricks for planning control cabinets more efficiently, while still complying with the standards?

Efficiently wiring switching devices

What connection technology do you use for your switching devices? Have you tried spring-type technology before? Why not compare conventional screw-type technology with the latest spring-type technology now? We show you how to connect your switching devices and install them quickly and error-free.

The digital and real worlds are converging with the SIRIUS modular system.

Perfect combination of the right switching devices

With the SIRIUS modular system’s combination options, you can create your own custom solution for your specific application. The strength of the system lies in its modular construction covering all sizes, the functionality of the devices for a multitude of applications, and comprehensive, standard-compliant planning. This facilitates your procedures and speeds up your planning processes.

Pure functionality

No matter what machine you are planning, we cover all applications for switching, protecting, starting and monitoring of motors. Whatever your application, be it standard or extreme as well as IE3/IE4motors, we cover all your requirements.

This functional diversity is covered by the SIRIUS modular system’s protection equipment and switching devices. They offer the highest performance-to-size ratio anywhere in the world,which saves valuable space in the control cabinet. In addition, tested combinations and perfectly coordinated components. The SIRIUS components always comply with current standards and fulfill the latest requirements on the market; therefore IE3/IE4-ready.

Proven system properties

The strength of the system lies in its modular construction across all sizes, covering all applications thanks to comprehensive accessories. Wiring is reduced with the clip-on function modules for AS-i and IO-Link, and the optional bundling of up to four feeders per IO-Link channel shrinks the space requirement. Feedback messages from the load feeder ensure higher transparency, and it’s also possible to connect to energy management systems. A variety of monitoring functions and preventive maintenance increase plant availability.

Efficient planning and engineering

Thanks to digitalization, we can offer many advantages to control panel designers for planning and engineering. Comprehensive data – including 3D models and macros for the leading CAE systems enable simple and error-free planning and system documentation. The components of the SIRIUS modular system are standard-compliant and tested for extreme operating conditions, making them suitable for use worldwide for all applications. Furthermore, in combination with our frequency converters we offer aligned and harmonized solutions.
