Simple modifications

When functions have to be retrofitted on a plant, modifications to the hardware configuration and program expansions can involve considerable costs. Eaton's SmartWire-DT universal modules offer a simple solution.

SmartWire-DT is an intelligent communication system for simple pilot devices, contactors and motorprotective circuit-breakers, designed to reduce panel wiring complexity and improve system reliability. It can replace conventional control wiring in panels and, as such, associated PLC inputs/outputs become unnecessary.

Modules can be used in place of configured devices (pilot devices, motor-protective circuit-breakers, I/O modules) during plant modification, so machine builders can design and program the configuration of the PLC and the user program.
