Support modular systems

Configure distribution boards with standardized components that simplify engineering and installation. The SIVACON S4 switchboards are based on a fully modular system concept that provides maximum flexibility throughout the entire lifecycle of the installation. Thanks to their cost-efficient platform structure, both configuration and assembly are simplified, while the seamless integration of innovative SENTRON components ensures a future-ready power distribution solution. Standardized units and modules can be flexibly combined and configured to meet individual project requirements. This facilitates future expansion, modification, and modernization of the system. New components can be integrated quickly and with minimal effort, without requiring extensive changes to existing switchboard sections. As a result, the modular design minimizes downtime, increases investment security and enables the system to adapt easily to future requirements.

Create digital twins

Generating a digital twin from STEP data can be a tedious and complex process. We’re making the switch to 3D engineering extremely simple. Thanks to the 3D processor, you can export the digital twin of your SIVACON S4 power distribution boards from SIMARIS configuration with one click and then export it as a STEP file via SIMARIS xchange. With its detailed visualization, the digital twin offers added value in many areas, from planning to maintenance and expansion.

Benefit from detailed visualizations down to the last screw

In addition to the quick and easy generation of the digital twin, you also benefit from an extremely high level of detail that simplifies your work in multiple applications. By using the 3D model for plant and building planning, dimensioning copper parts, system installations, and maintenance and expansion: you benefit from high precision and reduced errors as well as saving time and money. The process steps also require less specialized knowledge, thus eliminating work for you as a panel builder.

Simplify installation and maintenance

The SIVACON S4 low-voltage switchboard has been specifically designed to minimize installation and maintenance efforts. Its modular design enables the fast and flexible integration of standardized components, significantly simplifying engineering, assembly, and future system expansions.

By utilizing modular devices such as SENTRON 3VA molded case circuit breakers and 3WA air circuit breakers, functions can be configured according to specific requirements and easily adapted when modifications or extensions are needed. Individual modules can be replaced or upgraded quickly without requiring major changes to the overall system. This greatly facilitates service and maintenance activities.

Frequently asked questions

Higher planning reliability
With the digital twin of a SIVACON S4, coordination with other system specialists is much simpler. For example, you can incorporate the digital twin in building models and use it for collision detection. Thanks to the data’s high level of detail, room for interpretation is reduced, thus increasing your planning reliability.

Effortless generation of copper parts
By importing the STEP data into your CAD systems, you can take the dimensions for your switchgear’s copper parts directly from the digital twin. This reduces the time and effort needed for dimensioning significantly.

Easy and error-free installation
The 3D model provides the ideal basis for simple and precise assembly thanks to its detailed visualization, down to the smallest component. By reducing the room for interpretation, assembly errors are significantly reduced.

Uncomplicated maintenance and expansion
Maintenance work, expansion to include additional components, and module replacement are also easily managed thanks to the 3D model. Using the 3D processor, you can easily update and reexport the digital twin at any time so that it always represents the current state of your switchboard.
