SmartWire-DT can be used to connect various components inside and outside the control panel, simplifying the process and saving time. This will allow you to significantly reduce the cost of designing machines and systems. The SmartWire-DT solution also replaces traditional wiring and ensures unified communication with all system components.
SmartWire-DT also acts as an intelligent switching system, collecting information from across the entire network. It provides users with detailed, real-time network performance data that can be used for timely troubleshooting. SmartWire-DT users benefit from increased productivity, effective preventative maintenance, and optimized system performance.
Key Features
- Reduce project planning costs by up to 70%
- The system can be easily expanded inside and outside the control panel
- Can be used in large systems with distances up to 600 meters
- An intelligent switching system that collects detailed data across the entire network
- Flexible service from anywhere and at any time through remote data access
- Can be used at temperatures from 0°C to +55°C (IP20) and from -20°C to +70°C (IP65)
Integrated system
The SmartWire-DT system includes a wide range of components that can be connected quickly and easily, either directly via the built-in interface or via function modules. Available components include signaling devices, contactors, motor starters, variable frequency drives, and hydraulic modules. SmartWire-DT easily integrates into existing systems via the SWD gateway and can be connected to a PLC via industrial communication protocols or to an Eaton HMI/PLC touchscreen display with an integrated SmartWire-DT interface.
A simple plug-and-play solution
Depending on the higher-level controller, up to 99 modules can be connected using a single SmartWire-DT cable with a total length of up to 600 meters. The SmartWire-DT connecting cable forms the basis of the system. A flat cable is used for connections within the control panel, while a round cable is used to connect sensors/actuators to IP67 SWD devices located outside the panel. The strengths of this intelligent system are fully realized when designing and constructing standard machines. SWD connectors can be easily pre-configured on the flat cable, saving time in project planning and cabling. The connectors also help prevent wiring errors, ultimately reducing connection testing and commissioning time by up to 70%.
All system data in the palm of your hand
SmartWire-DT technology has now become a key player in mechanical engineering and systems integration. This IoT-ready platform provides users with centralized access to system-wide data, ensuring increased availability and performance.
Intelligent data collection in machines and systems
SmartWire-DT replaces previously required PLC inputs and outputs, saving space within the control cabinet. At the same time, it becomes the foundation for Industry 4.0. We've published several technical brochures and customer success stories that will highlight the benefits of SmartWire-DT, including potential cost savings.
Designing solutions has become easier with the SWD-Assist program
Our SWD-Assist software will help you plan SmartWire-DT networks. Simply select the required SmartWire-DT functional elements from the device catalog and place them where needed. Configurations can be saved and reused in other projects. You can also use SWD-Assist to test your network and automatically add missing components.
