SmartWire-DT External Communication Cards
SmartWire-DT is an intelligent wiring system and makes
for a reliable and easy connection of switching devices,
pilot devices and I/O components with overriding bus
systems possible. The components that are connected with
SmartWire-DT are linked, e.g. to SMARTWIRE-DT -DP or
CANopen communication networks via gateways using
SmartWire-DT masters.
With the SmartWire-DT system, up to 99 modules can
be connected to form a network. Modules can include
SmartWire-DT I/O modules or SmartWire-DT modules
for contactors, soft starters, drives or pilot devices.
The electrical connection is effected via a special 8-pole
connecting cable and the relevant plugs.
When equipped with a DXG-NET-SWD; SmartWire-DT
interface module, the variable frequency drives can be
connected to a SmartWire-DT system and, as a result,
to a higher-level PLC. SmartWire-DT can then be used
to configure, control, and monitor these devices.
