Modern air systems must meet up to the multiple requirements of industry. Safety, reliability, low power consumption and minimum servicing are of first priority when the air needed for the job is to be produced in the volume required at the right quality.
Normally, in an air system, the 'concerted action' of several compressors and treatment equipment has to be coordinated, whereby special attention should be paid to the interplay of the compressors because this is where most of the energy savings are made. Such complex tasks are no longer manageable by simple, conventional sequencers or base load sequencers. In such cases the capability of intelligent computers is needed. Not only do they have to turn individual compressor soloists into an ensemble and conduct them in as energy-saving a way as possible, they have to resolve futuristic tasks such as compressed air management and compressed air cost management as well - not forgetting communication.

Sigma Control 2 - Integrated intelligence: The next dimension
The control centre
The control unit features an easy to read display and durable input keys; all relevant information can be viewed at a glance. User-friendliness is further enhanced by the logical menu structure and the ability to display data in any one of 30 selectable languages.
|
|
Your security
The addition of RFID functionality to Sigma Control 2 means that service work and system changes to the compressor can be performed only by authorised personnel, e.g. suitably qualified KAESER service partners. This ensures that the compressor operates at the peak of its performance throughout its entire service life. |
|
Stay connected
The 10/100 MBit/sec Ethernet interface allows direct access to operational parameters from the user's VPN. Plug-in communication modules are available for Profibus DP, Modbus, Profinet and Devicenet. |
|
Update and save
Software updates and operational parameters can be quickly uploaded and transferred via the convenient SD card slot. This both minimises service costs and allows the SD card to be used for (long-term) storage of key operational data.

Sigma Control and SIGMA CONTROL BASIC
The SIGMA Control automatically regulates and monitors the compressor. It is a robust PC-based industrial computer with real-time operating system and update capability. System operating status can be viewed at a glance via user-friendly ‘traffic light’ LEDs. The four-line plain text display, touch keys and icons ensure ease of operation.
In case of an alarm the safety shutdown sequence immediately switches the compressor off. The SIGMA CONTROL offers the possibility of Dual, Quadro and Vario Control modes and the most efficient mode can be determined directly onsite using the programmable compressor duty cycle display feature.
Interfaces are provided as standard for connection of a modem, a second compressor in base load sequencing mode and for connection to data networks.
The PC-based "SIGMA CONTROL" precisely matches compressor power to compressed air demand. This leads to optimised energy efficiency, reduces maintenance costs and increases compressed air system reliability.
With various communication possibilities, such as the standard Profibus interface, the SIGMA CONTROL is the perfect choice for compressor networking and interaction via the HPC KAESER SIGMA AIR MANAGER compressed air management system |

SIGMA AIR MANAGER Basic
The Sigma Air Manager is the world's first master controller of compressed air systems that combines the advantages offered by modern industrial computers and internet technology.
Sigma Air Manager combines energy-saving, demand-related pressure band control with clear-cut visual presentation of operational data in a way that is unique and unheard of until today. Further cost reduction is achieved by advantages inherent in Internet and Teleservice links.

SIGMA AIR MANAGER with adaptive 3-D-control
 The new Sigma Air Manager not only provides users with exceptional transparency of operations processes, energy consumption and costs. Its adaptive 3-D-Control also takes compressor switching losses into account, thereby enhancing energy efficiency even further.
As an advanced compressed air management system for up to four, eight or sixteen machines, Kaeser's latest generation Sigma Air Manager (SAM) provides users with the transparency and performance required to tap into these savings. With its all-in-one master control system and web server, the SAM plays a key role in optimising compressed air availability and energy efficiency. The new SAM is now more effective than ever, thanks to its innovative adaptive 3-D-Control.
