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.
