Siemens is one of the top electrical engineering and automation companies in the world. Their products range from health care equipment to motors and drives, and so much in between. PanelShop.com offers a number of their products and series, including Siemens operator stations. Their stations can be highly customized to best suit your specific needs.

Among their offering, there are two size options for devices (22MM and 30MM), and two options for voltage (24 VDC and 120 VAC). Additionally, there are also a handful of NEMA ratings and materials for enclosures. These are important considerations depending on the conditions that the station will be in.

The most customizable characteristics are with the number and types of devices that work with the station. Siemens operator stations can accommodate 1-16 devices and can arrange them in a grid or vertically, depending on number of devices chosen. From there, you can pick which device you want in which position. With nine options such as pilot lights, selector switches, and E-stops, plus the choice of leaving a position blank or with a hole plug, your operator station can function in the best possible way for your system and add total control for the operator. Some devices can also be colored differently for easier identification. Identification can also come from optional ring tags, which users of PanelShop.com can enter in a text box while configuring their operator station.  General identification is also available in the form of customizing a lamacoid or label that identifies the operator station as a whole.

Overall, Siemens operator stations offer a variety of devices and configurations to meet your specific needs. Configure one now and see for yourself!
