Panel wiring system solution
The SmartWire-DT System replaces
multiple wires used to connect motor
control components with a single cable.
The system allows users to easily integrate
with the original equipment manufacturer’s
preferred industrial network.
The SmartWire-DT system uses an
eight-conductor, flat cable located in the
control cabinet to connect motor starters,
pushbutton actuators, and indicator lights.

I/O expansion series
The I/O Expansion Module is a new set of products to
help customers achieve optimal performance, faster ROI,
and customization for communication networks. The I/O
Expansion Module offers an increased degree of monitoring,
control and optimization, and flexible wired and
wireless I/O. The I/O Expansion Module provides faster
access time for up to 192 I/O points. The new module’s
products carry the same measurement accuracy of analog
inputs and can snap directly onto FreeWave radios or
connect to other serial communication devices. With the
I/O Expansion’s flexibility, the module can be used for a
range of applications.

Operator interface and controller
The XV Series HMI-PLC incorporates programmable
logic controller functionality and integrates with the Eaton
SmartWire-DT system. The XV Series HMI-PLC combines
control, visualization, and data management tasks in one
device. The design of the XV Series removes the physical
PLC, incorporates logic into the operator interface, and
provides a single software package. The series has an
optional integrated SmartWire-DT master, eliminating the
need for a gateway. The SmartWire-DT device connects
directly into the back of the panels.
