SITRAFFIC C940ES:Outstanding features to meetthe needs of the future!With its novel signal monitoring module, the new SITRAFFIC® C940ES controller hasbeen specially optimized for low-energy 40-V LED technology. The signal states foreach output of the new signal monitoring are freely selectable: disabled, transitionor enabled, red, amber, green – every state is parameterizable. Of course, SITRAFFICC940ES shares all the proven talents of the SITRAFFIC C900 controller family: highperformance, maximum operational reliability and fail-safety, coupled with ease ofadaptation to any new requirements. Whatever tomorrow may bring, Siemens TShas just the right answer in the form of its C family of controllers.2

TheMPC8270/266 MHz power PC uses theLINUX operating system. A powerful processor,a flexible operating system anda large range of external interfaces addup to an ideal basis for your traffic controlsystem.Easy upgrading and smoothintegrationOne of the system’s remarkable talents isits high degree of flexibility. The new BSXsignal monitoring module, for instance, isfully compatible not only with new C940Vcontroller versions, but also with existingC840V devices. And with the new BBX controlmodule, any SITRAFFIC C8x0 controllercan be upgraded to SITRAFFIC C9x0level. All other modules are identical withthe proven Cxx0 range.SITRAFFIC Canto: linking controlcenters and field devices of differentmanufacturersLike all devices from the C9x0 series,SITRAFFIC C940ES can be connectedto any SITRAFFIC Scala traffic controlcenter via our communication systemSITRAFFIC Canto (Communication inadvanced new technology for outstations).The key advantages of this system:high-performance, low-costcommunication hardwarehighest possible security level indata communicationnumerous communication optionssuch as V34 modem, Ethernet,fiber-optic cablecost-efficient central control viawireless links using public communicationchannels such as Internet/GPRSuniform communication solutionfor the entire systemIt’s good to know that you can counton your equipment for the long term!Ever since the first traffic light signalsin Germany were installed on the PotsdamerPlatz in Berlin in 1926, traffic controldevices from Siemens have always beensynonymous to technical progress. Be itPLUS technology, 40-V LED design, modernuser interfaces or ever more powerfulprocessors, you can always be surethat solutions from Siemens incorporatethe latest technological advances for afuture-proof investment. Siemens is acompany to rely on – yesterday, todayand tomorrow.3

Transparency is the keySITRAFFIC Office pools all data in a single,central data base. This eliminates theneed to enter the same data severaltimes and at the same time preventspossible errors due to double entries.SITRAFFIC Office Language is the coreof this unique program system for solvingthe varied tasks and problems of trafficcontrol. Using structograms and flowcharts, traffic control tasks can be easilyconverted into program code. No programmingskills needed! The modulelibraries offer ready-made solutions fornumerous tasks and routines.PDMe (e = extended for C940/C900)phase-oriented control methods:time-saving function and user librariesThese libraries do not contain books,but pre-programmed and fully testedfunction and solution modules. PDM providesyou with a complete system-sidelibrary of functions based on predefinedsolutions. The user library serves to storeuser-defined modules, which can benamed at will and flexibly combined withexisting PDM modules. SITRAFFIC OfficeLanguage ensures smooth and easy integrationof all modules. All predefinedfunctions, be it from PDM or user libraries,are directly incorporated into theuser’s “individual” program code. Eachcompleted project adds valuable mod -ules to the library, saving a lot of programmingtime in later projects.S-Le (e = extended for C940/C900)control logic: no programmingneeded – just parameterizeStandardized and highly flexible? WithS-L, that’s no contradiction in termsbecause S-L is the answer of SITRAFFICOffice Language to the need for simplificationthrough standardization. Here theindividual modules are already combined.All the user has to do is adapt the predefinedlogical sequences to the requirementsof the intersection to be controlled– with simple parameterization, a taskthat requires no programming skills.And for all cases that call for special solutionsor major modifications of standardizedsolutions, SITRAFFIC Office Languageprovides convenient tools that help solvethese tasks elegantly and quickly.M-Xe (e = extended for C940/C900)integrated frame plan calculation:perfect coordination betweencontrollers and traffic computersThe SITRAFFIC Motion adaptive networkcontrol keeps gaining in importance.SITRAFFIC Office Language caters to thatdevelopment. The enhanced M-Xe componentmakes frame plan calculationtruly simple. Because it harmonizes thecentral control method carried out by thetraffic computer (SITRAFFIC Scala) andthe local control method implementedin the SITRAFFIC C940/C900 controllers.VSPe (e = extended für C940/C900)standardized control methodThis software package contains a standardized,parameterizable control method.It offers all the advantages of trafficactuatedcontrol without the need todevelop a conventional user program.The service tools: setting newstandards in user-friendly solutionsSITRAFFIC Service provides tools foroperation, testing and fault diagnostics,covering all function levels from fullygraphic visualization up to detailed expertinformation.Always at hand:the manual operator unitThe basic version of all controllers ofthe SITRAFFIC C9x0 series includes ahand-held operator unit with a 4-lineLCD display. The technician on site canuse it to obtain on-the-spot informationon current operating states and systemevents quickly and easily.The software tools ofthe SITRAFFIC C900family – the straightforwardroute toan optimum trafficcontrol solution4

Pioneering softwaretools with afamiliar look & feelThe parameterization of SITRAFFIC C940ES is carried out with the help of SITRAFFICOffice, the new software for the SITRAFFIC world. SITRAFFIC Office is the successorof the proven SITRAFFIC Control data supply program. With a modern look & feel,its uniform concept covers all established functions as well as novel features. Thesoftware is a convenient tool for traffic engineers, operators and service techniciansalike. And it ideally combines yesterday, today and tomorrow because it is fullydownward-compatible to the SITRAFFIC C800 series.5
