SIRIUS ACT: Powerful Push Buttons, Indicator Lights & Switches

 

SIRIUS ACT offers you a unique portfolio of exceptionally designed, push buttons, indicator lights, and switches that deliver...

Quick & Easy Installation

 

Quick and easy to install

With the new SIRIUS ACT push buttons and indicator lights, easy handling also means easy installation. The innovative snap-on concept makes the task of installing a unit so effortless that it can be done with one hand. (No special tools required.)  And because everything is so simple, SIRIUS ACT further reduces the risk of incorrect installation.

Rugged Reliability

Robust and Uncompromisingly Industry-compatible

The new SIRIUS ACT push buttons and indicator lights meet every requirement. They keep on working even when exposed to dust or high pressure water. Even oils, caustic solutions and extreme environmental influences cannot disrupt reliable operation. With degree of protection IP66, IP67, IP69 (IP69K), SIRIUS ACT is the perfect solution for a host of applications.

Flexible Communication

Flexible communication

In addition to standard wiring, SIRIUS ACT can also be connected directly to the controller via AS-Interface, IO-Link or PROFINET. The advantage is a reduction in the wiring overhead, fewer sources of faults and greater flexibility in the event of changes. The TIA Portal engineering framework makes extended diagnostics and parameterization options possible.

Modern Design

Modern design

The flat, round metal and plastic elements combine functionality with a timelessly esthetic look.

The new SIRIUS ACT push buttons and indicator lights offer the right answer for every application, taste and budget.

Diverse combination options are possible.  Make your selection from from three design lines:

 

 

Powerful machines and plants need powerful push buttons, switches and indicators

Constructed with genuine metal and high-grade plastics, and engineered with smart functions and communication capabilities, these new push buttons, indicator lights and switches have been extreme element tested to ensure reliability for your most mission critical operations. 


 

SIRIUS ACT - commanding and signaling

 

SIRIUS ACT is a modular system of pushbuttons and indicator lights for front plate mounting and rear-mounted electrical modules.

Thanks to SIRIUS ACT with PROFINET, commanding and signaling devices can be connected directly via PROFINET to the controller and HMI devices – including with safety functions.

Engineering and commissioning are simplified by the TIA Portal.

Variety of communication solutions for maximum flexibility 

Communication is one of the strong points of SIRIUS ACT. In addition to the conventional screw and spring-type connections of the command and signaling devices, direct connections to PROFINET can also be implemented in the control cabinet or IO-Link and AS-Interface in the field.

The various communication interfacing options provided enable simple combinations of push buttons and signaling devices, HMI touch screens and industrial PCs, which means that complex input stations can be set up without extensive wiring and engineering time and effort.

Integration into the TIA Portal enables them to be visually displayed for better harmonization with the hardware, thus simplifying and speeding up hardware configuration. Further advantages are uniform data management, time savings thanks to intuitive hardware configuration and lower downtimes resulting from faster fault diagnostics. The option handling feature (especially with PROFINET) enables flexible systems to be designed and individually adapted – even during ongoing operation.

PROFINET/PROFIsafe

The new direct connection of SIRIUS ACT to PROFINET/PROFIsafe

The quick and easy installation with ribbon cable (piercing technology) without special tools saves considerable wiring effort.

  • Reduced wiring and fewer error sources at installation and commissioning
  • High flexibility for modifications due to the modular plug-in design
  • Extended diagnostics and parameterization options resulting from integration in the TIA Portal
  • Safety Integrated: EMERGENCY STOP incorporated via PROFIsafe
