APS Industrial, a locally owned and managed company formed by experienced leaders in the industry, tells Manufacturers’ Monthly about Siemens’ powerful SIRIUS ACT Push Buttons – the best choice for Australian industry.
POWERFUL machines and plants need powerful push buttons, switches, and indicators: SIRIUS ACT offers you a unique portfolio of elegantly designed push buttons, indicator lights and switches that are the perfect embodiment of style, intelligence, and physical toughness.
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 tested for the most extreme environments to ensure reliability for your most critical operations. With various intelligent features, Siemens SIRIUS ACT Push Buttons are the choice for Australian industry.
Easy to use
Easy handling also means easy installation. An innovative snap-on concept makes the task of installing a unit so effortless that it can be done with one hand. And because everything is so simple, SIRIUS ACT further reduces the risk of incorrect installation.
Extremely rugged
Push button functionality is preserved even when dust or water is involved under high pressure. Even oils, caustic solutions and extreme environmental influences cannot disrupt reliable operation. Thus, SIRIUS ACT is the perfect solution for a host of applications.
Flexible communication
The various communication interfacing options provided by SIRIUS ACT enable simple combinations of push buttons and signalling 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 harmonisation with the hardware, thus simplifying and speeding up hardware configuration.
Further advantages are uniform data management (intelligent system), time savings thanks to intuitive hardware configuration and lower downtimes resulting from faster fault diagnostics. The option handling feature enables flexible systems to be designed and individually adapted – even during ongoing operation.
Modern design
The flat, round metal and plastic elements combine unparalleled functionality with a timelessly aesthetic look. The new SIRIUS ACT push buttons and signalling devices offer the right answer for every application, taste, and budget. With Siemens push buttons, switches and signalling devices you opt for a completely different system design: choose from four design lines and diverse options for combining.
In partnering with the world’s leading technology companies, APS Industrial offers Australian customers the broadest portfolio of industrial low and medium voltage electrical and automation products within the region. Central to this is APS Industrial’s exclusive master distribution agreement with Siemens.
As the master distribution partner for Siemens in Australia, APS Industrial are proud to bring the full range of SIRIUS ACT push buttons and signalling devices to the local industry.
Siemens’ SIRIUS ACT range have been tested in the most extreme environments to ensure reliability in critical operations.

Qorvo’s CMD328K3 Low-Noise Amplifier for X-Band and Ku-Band Satellite Comms
Mouser Electronics Inc, the industry’s leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, is now stocking the CMD328K3 6 GHz – 18 GHz low-noise amplifier (LNA) from Qorvo. The device is ideally suited for electronic defense and communications systems where small size and low power consumption are needed.
The Qorvo CMD328K3, available from Mouser Electronics, is a broadband MMIC LNA that operates between 6 GHz and 18 GHz with a noise figure of just 1.4 dB. The CMD328K3 amplifier delivers greater than 27 dB of gain with a corresponding output 1 dB compression point of +12 dBm. The broadband device is a 50-ohm matched design, which eliminates the need for external DC blocks and RF port matching.
Housed in a leadless 3 mm × 3 mm plastic surface-mount air cavity package, the CMD328K3 amplifier is an ideal alternative to hybrid amplifiers. Applications for the CMD328K3 LNA include X-band and Ku-band radar, satellite communications, and electronic defense receivers.
As a global authorised distributor, Mouser offers the world’s widest selection of the newest semiconductors and electronic components — in stock and ready to ship. Mouser’s customers can expect 100 per cent certified, genuine products that are fully traceable from each of its manufacturer partners.

Backplane Systems Technology is proud to present Innodisk’s InnoAGE 2.5” SATA SSD 3TI7 Industrial Grade SSD. The InnoAGE SSD comes with a Microsoft Azure Sphere inside and is further integrated with Innodisk’s customised firmware, software and hardware technology.
This new solution enables multifunctional management: smart data analysis and updates, data security, and remote control through the cloud, while benefitting from the power of the Azure Sphere to guarantee secured communications between the SSD and the cloud.
The InnoAGE SSD delivers an easy-to-use interface with its customised cloud management platform. In technical terms, the Innodisk-developed firmware receives commands from the Azure Sphere via a second connection to Azure. Therefore, it can execute SSD debugging messages as well as monitor read/write behaviour patterns to increase the storage device’s lifespan. Most importantly, system operators can quickly revert to the default settings from the cloud-based dashboard in the case of a device or system crash.
Hence, the InnoAGE Industrial Grade SSD is designed for both in-band and out-of-band network management, providing full recovery even when the operating system has crashed or is severely impaired to the extent that in-band management would be of little help.
Key features:
• The world’s first Hybrid SSD with an Azure Sphere inside • Encripted end-to-end security from edge to cloud • Hardware level allows easy and simple development • Supports out-of-band network management and diverse platforms • Supports wireless 2.4/5GHz Dual-Band 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi • Supports ethernet.
