Teach you how to distinguish the authenticity of Siemens PLC

In recent years, with the further development of the industrial automation industry, the technology of domestic PLC has reached a level where it can compete equally with industry giants such as Siemens, Mitsubishi, and Rockwell. Many excellent domestic brands have emerged, such as co trust, Cambridge, SOFT-LINK, CKSKY, Zhenghang PLC, and other domestic brands. However, in this field, domestic brands are latecomers after all, and their brand influence is insufficient. The accumulated industry experience, such as the Siemens brand, is also lacking, so the market share of domestic PLC is far less than that of foreign brands.

Although the influence and industry experience of domestic PLCs are somewhat lacking, domestic brands still have advantages: reasonable prices, fast service response, and strong flexibility. Especially in terms of price, it is much lower. For example, the original 331-5HF00 from Siemens is priced at around 5000 yuan, while the domestic 331-5HF00 from CKSKY is priced at over 2000 yuan. Therefore, while ensuring complete stability in performance, price is the main competitive point for domestic PLCs. Due to the technical partnership between domestically produced compatible PLCs and Siemens' golden partner, the price has been much lower, which has led to some underground factories that exploit small loopholes (this quality is the most difficult to guarantee) and some businesses using mainstream brands in the market, such as purchasing products from CKSKY and co trust, and then replacing the shell with Siemens related models and parameters, and pasting Siemens' logo on domestically produced PLCs, Then sell it at the original price of Siemens to make huge profits; There are also some that use old Siemens dismantling parts, and the outer shell serves as Siemens' brand new original packaging, earning a large profit margin.

Example 2: As shown in the following figure, the overall printing color of the genuine Siemens is relatively average, and the ink is relatively uniform. The imitation will have a deep and a light area. There is also the spacing of the layout marked 2 in the figure, which is relatively moderate for genuine products and dense for imitations.

Example 3: DP head (as shown in the figure below), the packaging box of the imitation is significantly rougher than the packaging box of the genuine product. The edges of the authentic product are very flat.

Example 4: Module guide rail (as shown in the following figure)

So, genuine and fake Siemens can still be distinguished through some small details. If there are still products in the market that are making alternative opportunistic tactics, it is recommended to immediately stop and recall them in good faith. Although we advocate supporting domestic production, we do not support adopting such illegal and unreasonable behavior. This behavior not only harms the interests of peers, but also greatly damages the interests of customers. Buying fake Siemens at Siemens' price is the last thing any of us buyers want to see. The reason why we support domestic production is that it can reduce costs, be closer to the use needs of the domestic environment, and can also be customized according to customer needs. But integrity must be placed first, and consumers cannot be deceived. Customers should give whatever brand they purchase. If we are standing on the premise of producing domestically compatible modules with precision, we still hope that the majority of users can support national brands, promote the flourishing of China's PLC market, and show the world how China's made to China's intelligent manufacturing.

Of course, Siemens has been a great example of our domestic learning for many years, both in terms of core technology and market stability. This stems from the craftsmanship and detail handling of Siemens factories, and the quality produced is top-notch globally, accounting for the largest market share. If it is necessary to use Siemens original packaging in applications, it is recommended to purchase from a legitimate Siemens designated agent. The certificate of the agent on the Siemens official website can be found below: http://www.ad.siemens.com.cn/partner/cooperation/Certification/CertiIndex.aspx
