As a unique power supply system with network integration, SITOP PSU8600 sets new standards in industrial power supplies. It can be fully integrated into Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) and networked via OPC UA and SITOP Manager with automation systems from different manufacturers.
The comprehensive functions offer new possibilities, and the online diagnostics increase the reliability of the power supply. Voltage and current response thresholds can be set individually for each output of the power supply system, and selective monitoring of each output for overload allows fast fault location. Depending on requirements, more modules from the modular system can be added without wiring work, for example to buffer against power failures in the second, minute or hour range, or for increasing the number of outputs.
SITOP PSU8600 can be easily configured in the TIA Portal: From the product selection through the network integration to the parameter assignment.
Comprehensive diagnostic and maintenance information is available via PROFINET. It can be evaluated directly in SIMATIC S7 and visualized in SIMATIC WinCC. Remote monitoring is also possible via the integrated web server. Optimal support is also provided for energy management of plant or machines: From the acquisition of energy data from individual outputs, the specific activation and deactivation of outputs via PROFIenergy, to direct integration in power management systems.
The integrated OPC UA server also allows direct integration into automation applications with OPC UA clients made by different manufacturers, e.g. of controllers or PCs. The power supply system can be both configured and diagnosed via the open interface, e.g. via SITOP Manager.
SITOP PSU8600 power supply system is used as a central DC power supply in larger plants, or machines with networked automation systems. The PSU8600 can be directly integrated into the LAN infrastructure by means of the two integrated PROFINET ports.
An extremely high level of reliability is achieved for the DC voltage supply by monitoring the individual DC branches for overload and bridging short-term power failures (brownouts). Complete transparency and fast fault localization are achieved by providing comprehensive diagnostic and maintenance information (e.g. load states of the outputs, phase/network failure, overtemperature) via PROFINET.
Energy-optimized operation is supported by measuring the current power and voltage values of the individual outputs as well as the individual activation and deactivation of the DC outputs via PROFIenergy during break times.
Modular system, consisting of:
Up to 4 CNX8600 expansion modules and up to 2 buffer components (BUF8600 or UPS8600) can be connected to a PSU8600 basic unit. The connection is made on top of the modules without any wiring using the System Clip Link, a connecting plug for system data and power supplies. Up to six supplementary modules can be added in random order; this means that existing configurations do not have to be altered if a module is added at a later stage. Up to 5 BAT8600 battery modules of the same type can be connected to a UPS8600 module. The connection between UPS8600 and BAT8600 via the Energy Storage Link enables intelligent battery management for optimum battery life.
An individual supply voltage can be set at each output of the power supply system. This means you can supply loads with different rated voltages simultaneously with only one device. Plus the voltage drop caused by the different cable lengths can be compensated individually, which means each load can be supplied with the optimum voltage.
Each output of the power supply system is individually monitored for overload. If the load current exceeds the set response threshold, the output is shut down according to specified time-current characteristics. All other outputs continue to be supplied reaction-free.
Each output can be manually enabled or disabled directly on the device (e.g. for commissioning or service) and an overload tripping can be reset. Outputs disabled due to overload can also be reset remotely using a remote reset signal (24 V input).
In addition, program-controlled enabling and disabling of the outputs is possible using the integrated Ethernet/PROFINET interface. This also means you can disable individual outputs by means of PROFIenergy during breaks to save energy.
Comprehensive diagnostic information can be queried and processed via the integrated Ethernet/PROFINET interface during operation for both the device status as well as the status of the individual outputs. This results in complete transparency, minimal downtimes and quick fault location. The integrated web server also permits remote monitoring of the power supply system.
If brief voltage dips occur on the mains side, the buffer module provides the load current for supplying the outputs via its energy storage devices. Maintenance-free electrolytic capacitors or double-layer capacitors are used as energy-storage units.
UPS module UPS8600 can be used with the corresponding BAT8600 battery modules to protect against longer power failures. This allows power failures in the minutes to hours range to be bridged. These supplementary modules also make it possible to shut down the system in a specific and safe manner in the event of a power failure. For most power interruptions, however, the bridging time is sufficient so that the system can continue to run without malfunction.
Different software components are available to facilitate easy integration of the SITOP PSU8600 in the TIA environment.
Engineering is simple via the TIA Portal. Special function blocks for SIMATIC S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200 and S7-1500 also support integration in the STEP 7 user program.
The comprehensive operating and diagnostic data of the power supply system can be visualized using ready-to-use PSU8600 faceplates for WinCC.

The pre-compiled WinCC faceplates show all the relevant data of the power supply system in an easy-to-understand display.
The SITOP library is available with blocks and faceplates for direct integration into SIMATIC PCS 7. The SW blocks in the SIMATIC S7 supply the faceplate on the user interface of the process control system with operating and diagnostics data, generate messages and ensure connection to the maintenance system of PCS 7. This ensures constant transparency of the 24V supply in the control system. The SITOP library is supported in SIMATIC PCS 7 with SP2 as from version V8.0.

SITOP Manager is the medium for all users who do not work with SIMATIC STEP 7 in the TIA Portal or with SIMATIC PCS 7. It manages all communication-capable power supplies in a communication network and enables their commissioning, online and offline engineering, diagnostics as well as operator control and monitoring. With the help of the SITOP Shutdown Service (autonomous function of the SITOP Manager), for example, it also supports continuous monitoring and specific shutdown of one or more PCs in case of a power failure. SITOP Manager is available as a free download in SIOS. It supports the following SITOP devices:
