Siemens has released the Simcenter SCADAS ES, a new modular hardware system designed for physical testing across laboratory, field, and mobile environments. This hardware release, which supports multi-user operation, includes the Test Connect interface to facilitate integration with third-party software.
Why it matters
The system aims to streamline data acquisition workflows by reducing setup complexity and improving collaboration between engineering teams. It allows for remote monitoring and configuration, accelerating the testing cycle for industrial hardware development.
The Simcenter SCADAS ES utilizes a modular architecture based on the existing Simcenter SCADAS RS, expanding the vendor's data acquisition (DAQ) family to two distinct lines. It enables multi-user access and remote monitoring to manage data quality across different testing environments.
The players
Siemens
A multinational technology conglomerate that develops industrial automation, software, and hardware for product testing and manufacturing.
The details
The Simcenter SCADAS ES operates as a data acquisition (DAQ) platform—a system that converts real-world physical signals like vibration or temperature into digital data for analysis. The new Test Connect interface functions as a hardware-to-software data exchange layer that allows the hardware to stream measurements directly into third-party analysis tools. By leveraging the modular design of the prior SCADAS RS line, this system supports scalable configurations for varying test site requirements while maintaining compatibility with Siemens' Simcenter Testlab analysis suite.

The Tech Race
This release expands Siemens' presence in the competitive data acquisition market by adding a second modular platform to their existing stable. It follows the trajectory of the established Simcenter SCADAS RS line, aiming to capture more of the industrial testing workflow through deep integration with third-party software environments.
Engineering teams can now deploy the new modular hardware for mobile or laboratory testing, though specific availability dates for individual markets remain unannounced. The system requires integration with existing Testlab software workflows or supported third-party tools via the Test Connect interface.
The takeaway
This hardware launch marks a push toward more flexible, multi-user testing setups in industrial engineering. Watch for future performance benchmarks comparing the SCADAS ES against established third-party DAQ systems to see if it delivers the promised reductions in setup effort.
