Naming conventions and abbreviations
Instead of product labels, the following abbreviations are also used in this document.
The following product labels and abbreviations are used:
This device corresponds to the approvals printed on the type plate. If you have questions
about whether it is permissible to install the device in the planned environment, contact your
service representative.
• Alterations to the devices are not permitted. Failure to observe these guidelines shall
constitute a revocation of the approvals and manufacturer's warranty.
• The HCS4300 heating control system is not a safety product. In the event of a fault, the
machine must be brought to the safe state on the plant side.

instructions for the device. The operating instructions contain information about the
potential risks and enable you to recognize risks and implement countermeasures.
Note before connecting the device
The supply system to which the heating control system is connected must have a circuit
breaker. The device must be switched off and secured against switching on again, before
connecting to the line voltage. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock.

Working on the device or on components connected to it
• Voltages of more than 60 V can occur in the control cabinet. Suitable safety precautions
to prevent contact must therefore be taken before and during commissioning and
maintenance work.
• Before working on the heating control system or the connected components, ensure the
system is disconnected.
Fuse replacement
Use only the prescribed fuse types. If you operate a heating controller with unapproved
fuses, the device could be destroyed.
Repairs
Incorrectly performed repairs can result in substantial damage to equipment or endanger
the user. Return the device to Siemens for repair.
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is
necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial
security concept. Siemens’ products and solutions constitute one element of such a concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems,
machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be
connected to an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent such a connection is
necessary and only when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network
segmentation) are in place.
For additional information on industrial security measures that may be implemented, please
visit (https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity).
Siemens' products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more
secure. Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they are
available and that the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that are no
longer supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase customers' exposure
to cyber threats.

2.3 Protective measures for the HCS4300
Protective measures for the HCS4300 heating control system
Only authorized personnel are permitted to access the system and make changes to it.
The SIPLUS HCS 4300 heating control system is used to activate and switch heating
elements in industry, such as quartz, ceramic, flash, halogen or infrared emitters. It is of
modular design and can be flexibly adapted to suit the specific requirements of the
respective application.
Typical application areas are:
● PET blow molding
● Drying of enamels and coatings
● Thermal treatment of fabric and plastics
● Welding of plastic parts
● Handling of carbon materials
In general, the HCS4300 can be used wherever compact or modular concepts are required
with high levels of power output.
An HCS4300 system comprises one Central Interface Module (CIM) and up to
24 Power Output Modules (POM). As an option, one I/O module can be operated on
the CIM.
The following figure shows an example of an HCS4300, consisting of a CIM4310 for
PROFINET, a POM4320, as well as a POM4320 Highend for busbar mounting.
Figure 3-1 HCS4300 consisting of CIM ①, POM4320 ② and POM4320 Highend ③
A complete heating control system with HCS4300 includes the following components:
● Central Interface Module (CIM) 4310 with PROFINET or PROFIBUS
● Power Output Module (POM) 4320 for busbar or panel mounting
● Higher-level controller, e.g. SIMATIC S7-1500 automation system with
PROFINET/PROFIBUS
● Field PG, optional for commissioning and diagnostics
● HMI panel, optional, e.g. SIMATIC HMI TP1500
● Heat emitter array

Centralized and distributed heating application
A maximum of 8 POM4320 or 6 POM4320 Highend can be operated at a CIM. In the
maximum configuration with 2 expansion modules, up 24 POM4320 or
18 POM4320 Highend can be operated.
System configurations can be realized for distributed, decentralized heating applications,
such as PET blow molding, where the heating controller is located below the heating boxes,
as well as central heating applications, for example, in thermoforming, where the heating
elements are implemented in numerous arrays and the modular heating control system is
located in a central control cabinet.
PROFINET combines the industrial experience of PROFIBUS with the openness and flexible
options of Ethernet. PROFINET enables high-speed and secure data exchange at all levels,
thus making it possible to implement innovative machine and plant concepts.
PROFIBUS has been established for years as the fieldbus for machines and plants. Based
on serial bus technology, it is the foundation for the distributed concepts that are common
today.
Combined operation with HCS4200 heating controller
You can operate a POM4320 with the HCS4200. See SIPLUS HCS4200
PROFINET/PROFIBUS DP operating instructions.
Combined operation of a POM4320 Highend with the HCS4200 heating controller is not
possible.
3.4 Central interface module (CIM)
3.4.1 Function and design
Function
The Central Interface Module (CIM) handles the communication with the higher-level
controller and with the connected Power Output Modules (POM). In addition, the CIM
provides the 24 V DC power supply for the connected POMs. The CIM is available in two
versions: with a PROFINET interface or with a PROFIBUS interface.
The Power Output Module (POM) offers power outputs for resistive loads and can be
operated in TN and TT networks. The POM is available in versions for busbar or panel
mounting.
The I/O module PM4000 U/I provides inputs for measuring mains voltage and mains current.
● Voltage measurement
Either the supplied line-to-line voltage or the star voltage is measured (parameterizable)
The rms effective value is calculated from the measured values.
● Phase current measurement
Three current transformers can be connected to the module (L1, L2, L3). The rms
effective value is calculated from the measured values. The measuring accuracy depends
on the current transformers used.
The measured values are transferred via the fieldbus and can be evaluated and further
processed by the user.

In the basic configuration with one CIM, a maximum of 8 POM4320 or 6 POM4320 Highend
can be operated. An EM4315 expansion module enables operation of up to 8 additional
POM4320 or 6 POM4320 Highend is possible.
Two EM4315 expansion modules can be used in the maximum configuration. This means
the following can be operated on one CIM in total:
