Lean Solution powered by
SmartWire-DT®
The Lean-Philosophie
The requirements of the machine building sector are becoming increasingly more extensive. Machines have to be built inever shorter time frames, at lower costs, and not only offer
increased performance but also greater energy efficiency.
The Lean Solution from Eaton and its focus on Lean Connectivity, Lean Automation and Lean Power here offer an approachthat makes a decisive improvement along the entire value
chain.

Lean means greater value creation
The core principle of this philosophy is to reduce waste – whether in costs, material or time.
This has led to Eaton developing products, components and processes that reduce waste andincrease value creation along the entire value chain, from design to construction, commissioning, right through to expansions.

Example: Savings in every step of the life cycle

The savings that could be made in cabling are enormous: "For us, the wiring requirement has been reduced to an eighth of what it normally would
be. Thanks to SmartWire-DT the cross wiring has been reduced from 1
kilometer to 50 meters, and the cabling required for the control circuit devices on the machines has been reduced by approx. 40%. Troubleshooting
has also been considerably reduced since faults can be found quickly due
to the high level of data transparency of the connected stations. Instead of
the two weeks required for commissioning our previous sorting plant project, we only needed 1.5 days with this project", says Christian Gormannsfrom Schaltanlagenbau Gormanns GmbH in review of this project.

cation system brings the I/Olevel directly into the switchgear. This is implemented
with simple modules thatgenerate digital and analog
information. The new technology was also implemented
in the drives and the controllers. This eliminates the needfor the I/O level on the PLC.
This produces automation
structures that are easy toconfigure

Lean Connectivity
All SmartWire-DT slaves areconnected via the green cablewith simple connectors. Anycomplex and error-prone
point-to-point wiring is unnecessary. The effort required forwiring, testing and commissioning can be reduced by up
to 85 %.

Lean PowerThe provision of extensive
data, particularly from motor
starters, drives and circuitbreakers ensures full datatransparency at the controller.
In this way, energy consumption can be optimized, diagnostics and maintenance canbe carried out simply, and theavailability of the machine canbe increased.

Wiring costs cut by more than 60 %For decades in Minden, Germany-based Minda Industrieanlagen GmbHhas been a leader in the development of pressing systems for the production of glulam. One new product is a hydraulic pressing system thatcan be operated from up to 6 remote control panels. Each control panelfeatures an integrated touch-sensitive display, 10 to 60 signaling units
and indicator lights, pressure and toggle switches, signalling contacts,
an emergency-off switch and an I/O station for third-party SmartWire-DT
compatible sensors. Each control console featuring the traditional setup
requires between 3 and 18 hours to wire the sensors. SmartWire-DT
cuts the labor associated with that task by more than 60 percent.

SmartWire-DT®.
Linear automation.
SmartWire-DT is making an especially strong mark on the field of automation through its use of distributed intelligence. Interface modules for standard
switchgear are replacing the digital and analog I/O tier on the controller. Gateways make it not just possible, but in fact simple to access the SmartWire-DT
network independent of the control system. At the same time, SmartWire-DT
technology stands ready and waiting as an integrated part of our controllers.
The result: easy-to-configure, linear automation structures with few components.

Gateways – your portal to standard control
systems
Gateways are the starting point for the SmartWire-DT network
and are integrated as modules into the control system. Regardless of whether your existing PLC works with PROFIBUS-DP,
Profinet, CANopen, Ethernet IP or Modbus TCP, SmartWire-DT
can connect smoothly to the control system. Standardized
mechanisms for the configuration and parameterization of theSmartWire-DT device are used for this. Whether you are currently using a distributed I/O system, or whether you will soon
be introducing the innovative SmartWire-DT communication

of PLC manufacturers.

HMI/PLC, XV100-Serie
With SmartWire-DT the I/O level of the PLC is integrated in the switchgear. The
XV100 HMI/PLC via SmartWire-DT can thus access the digital and analog data
directly from the control circuit device right through to the circuit-breaker.
Gateway and I/O level are no longer needed. Visualization and PLC are combined in one powerful and compact unit. This allows you to create flexible,
streamlined automation solutions with fewer components and little engineering
outlay.

XC152 compact PLC
Communication is the key feature of this powerful compact PLC. The XC152
allows inexpensive solutions for automation tasks thanks to the integrated
SmartWire-DT master and a number of other interfaces. Innovative solutions
enable data exchange via the Ethernet interface to OPC clients or the integrated
WEB server. They support the integration in modern communication concepts
with distributed control units.

easy800 control relay
SmartWire-DT enables switchgear to communicate. In this way their analog anddigital data can be accessed directly by the new easy800 control relays with an
integrated SmartWire-DT master. The relay can access both status messages
and current consumption values equally. This eliminates the need for the individual wiring of switchgear and the use of I/Os on the device.

SmartWire-DT – twice as easy with
easySoft
easySoft makes life particularly easy for the user.
Selection menus and "Drag and Drop functions"simplify linking tasks. The integrated SmartWireDT configurator facilitates rapid engineering of theSmartWire-DT line and extraordinarily easy assignment of the SmartWire-DT inputs and outputs tothe easy operands. The practical off-line simulation
tool enables users to check the correct functioningof the circuit diagram before commissioning andwithout a connected device. Online states can ofcourse also be viewed in the program.

SmartWire-DT®.
Simply ingenious.

Conventional wiring of control circuit devices involves a lot of effort andexpense – every contact or indicator light is wired individually, and separately
connected to the input/output modules of the control. This requires a lot of timeand has the potential for many wiring faults. SmartWire-DT is simply ingenious– the flat green cable connects control circuit devices with just a click. This
saves time and reduces the sources of error.

SmartWire-DT − simply ingenious− for control circuit devices.

RMQ-Titan installation®
RMQ Titan control circuit devices areplugged together with SmartWire-DT
function elements.
Simply insert the device plug, ready to go.

Function elements for base fixing
The function elements differ in their properties according to the actuation devices thatare used (pushbuttons, selector switches, indicator lights, etc.) and are available in thefollowing versions:• Function element LED• Function element LED with 2 positions• Function element LED with 3 positions

10• Function element with 3 positions• Function element with 2 positions

Front fixing
The variant shown on the left is also available forfront fixing. Shown here: the front and rear view of afunction element with 2 positions.

Every SmartWire-DT function element has its own
address as well as self diagnostics.
The benefits: fast and efficient diagnostics.

Signal towers increase availability
Signal towers are an important component of a lean solution, since the advancewarning function provides information that help the operator avoid potential failures and increase availability. Potential failures are not just detected in advanceby intelligent switchgear, but in fact are also signalized by signal towers with
SmartWire-DT. This allows operators to react immediately and avoid stops. Thisin turn significantly increases efficiency and machine availability.

RMQ Titan surface mount enclosure with SmartWire-DT
The green SmartWire-DT round conductor connects the control panel with theperipherals. The M22-.. surface mount enclosures are connected with cable glands orplug connectors (optional accessories). The circuit board is simply connected using colour
coded push-in terminals. Now simply snap on the required base fixing function element– ready to go.

EMERGENCY-STOP device
The 2-position function elements are designed toensure that a standard contact element can be used
to the right and left of the SmartWire-DT function
element. For the EMERGENCY-STOP device thishas the benefit that the EMERGENCY-STOP circuit
can be wired separately and can feature a twochannel design.

11SmartWire-DT®.
Simply clever.

Even the conventional wiring of a control current circuit incorporating motor
starters or contactors involves considerable time and effort.
Every motor starter or every contactor is wired individually, and separately
connected to the input/output modules of the control. This requires a lotof time and has the potential for many wiring faults and operating faults. It
is really clever with our motor starters and contactors of the xStart series
complemented by SmartWire-DT.

SmartWire-DT − simply clever −for motor starters or contactors

Motor starters from standard components
A good example for workload reduction:
The SmartWire-DT module for DILM is simply plugged onlike an auxiliary contact on contactors up to 38 A. To confi
gure a motor starter, the motor-protective circuit-breakerfrom the standard range is used. This combination can now
be complemented by system accessories (e. g. the threephase commoning link or busbar adapter.

DOL and reversing starters
Simple plugging together of xStart DOL and reversing starters up to
15 kW: These are made up of standard components and complemented with space-saving SmartWire-DT function elements. The electricaland mechanical interlock of the contactor is still possible.

12

EMERGENCY-STOP
EMERGENCY-STOP shutdown at a central point: The 24 V DC
control voltage for the contactors is supplied centrally on thegateway. Thus the power supply is integrated into an EMERGENCYSTOP circuit and leads to switch off of the contactors during an
EMERGENCY-STOP.
Several EMERGENCY-STOP circuits can be established within
a SmartWire-DT line. EMERGENCY-STOP circuits can be simply
established by the use of powerfeed 1 or 2.

SmartWire-DT offers all the necessary
information without complex wiring.

Comfortable operation and optimum
information flow
Faster commissioning through simple testing: The xStart motor
starter combination can be switched on and off directly on the
SmartWire-DT function element DIL/MSC (manual/auto) usinga screwdriver. In automatic mode, the contactor then receives
its switching command from the PLC.
With SmartWire-DT it is possible to receive exact and precise
status messages. Hereby a differentiation is made between
trips due to a short circuit or an overload. Accordingly optimum
system transparency is guaranteed.

Switch up to 2200 A with a coupling contactor
In addition to the size 1 and 2 contactors, the SmartWire-DT modules
for DILM can also be combined with contactor relays of type DILA.
This opens new possibilities for distributed control of loads withAC voltages, or the distributed control of the DILA as a coupling
contactor for contactors up to 2200 A. The switching status of thecontrolled contactor is also determined via the two digital inputs of theSmartWire-DT module for DILM.

Control of AC voltage loads
AC controlled motor starter combinations are integrated into the
SmartWire-DT system via the SmartWire-DT input/output modules
using relay outputs. Using the digital inputs of the modules,
the switch position of the contactor can be determined; withmotorstarter combinations, the switch position of the motorprotective circuit-breaker can also be determined.

13

SmartWire-DT®.
Simply communicative.

The electronic motor-protective circuit-breaker PKE enables simple integration into the world of automation with SmartWire-DT. In this way, all relevant
information of the motor power distribution system can be transferred to thecontrol. The integration can be for both the individual PKE motor-protective
circuit-breaker as well as for the PKE motor starter combination.

SmartWire-DT – simply communicative –for motor-protective circuit-breakers PKE
Networked motor-protective circuit-breaker
PKE
Using the function element PKE-SWD, the motor-protective
circuit-breaker PKE is integrated into the system SmartWire-DT.
Using the function element, all relevant information concerning the motor-protective circuit-breaker can be read such as
the switching state, tripping causes, actual motor current aswell as thermal motor loading without the use of auxiliary
switches or additional sensors. The function element can be
combined with all PKE basis units PKE 12, PKE 32 and PKE
65 and thus offers a universal networking solution for thecurrent range from 0.3A to 65A.

Everything at a glance
Through the integration of the the motor-protective circuit-breaker PKE to SmartWire-DT,
all switching states and status messages,
which were only accessible using additional
equipment up to this point, are transferred tothe control. This reduces the entire control
current wiring of the motor feeder and provides enhanced transparency. The additionaltransfer of process data such as the actual

14

Networked motor starter combination with PKE
The function element PKE-SWD-32 enables the integration of PKE motor starter
combinations up to 32 A into the system SmartWire-DT. The function element
is inserted directly onto the contactor of the motor starter combination. The
integrated interface to the contactor coil enables the control of the motor starter
combination and reports its state. This eliminates the entire control circuit
wiring of the motor starter. Through the additional integration of the function
element to the PKE, the switching states and status messages of the motorprotective circuit-breaker are transferred to the control via SmartWire-DT. The
adjustable overload relay functionality of the function element PKE-SWD-32
triggers an automatic switch off and switch on of the contactor in the event ofan overload. Manual switching in of the motor-protective circuit-breaker is not
required, as it remains switched on.

SmartWire-DT®.
Simply efﬁcient.

In addition to control circuit devices and motor starters, the SmartWire-DT canalso communicate directly with compact circuit-breakers. The NZM module
XSWD-704 is used for this purpose.. The SmartWire-DT communication systemdemonstrates its capabilities here. Control circuit devices with 1 bit data can be
operated just as well as circuit-breakers with 32 byte data. Important circuitbreaker information is made available via SmartWire-DT. This is, for example,
the phase currents or diagnostic data such as load warnings and diagnostic
messages.
All NZM 2/3/4 with electronic releases can be connected directly to the
SmartWire-DT via the NZM module. All currents up to 1600 A in the energy
distribution system are thus under control of SmartWire-DT.

SmartWire-DT –high-performance communicationfor energy management
NZM communication

Load warnings

The detection and correction of faults before
they occur is the objective of the preventative
warning. NZM reports excessive current
values in 3 warning stages via SmartWire-DT.
SmartWire-DT also assumes the control of aremote operator for the circuit-breaker, so thatthe wiring that would otherwise be required
can be eliminated.

the case of a trip, information concerning the cause is sent.
In addition to the active energy, the switch type and current
trip setting parameters are provided.
Switch on and off via remote operator as well as a reset ofthe energy meter can be sent as commands to the switch.

Outputs• Remote operation• Reset• Energy meter

16

Energy meter on board
The NZM module transfers the value of consumed activeenergy in the respective input or output circuit. For thispurpose, a non-volatile energy meter is on board the moduleand can be read at any time via SmartWire-DT. This provides
the prerequisite for energy optimization.
The NZM function element has a further standardized S0interface for energy measurement in addition to the NZM
interface. The NZM-XMC-S0 module, which actually measuresthe energy, is connected to it. It incorporates the measurementtransformer and the required measurement circuitry.

XMC-S0Motor Control Center with SmartWire-DT connection
The iMCC line of xEnergy control panels feature a SmartWire-DT
slot that makes it a communication-ready motor control center solution. SmartWire-DT presents extensive diagnostic functions thatmake it easier to troubleshoot errors and minimize equipment stop
times. This expanded diagnostic information simplifies analysis ofoperational states such as short-circuits, overloads and underloads
and phase failure, including predictive remote maintenance.
It is simple to swap out the slots while operations are running,
ensuring operators increased availability of machines and systems.
Control panel makers and xEnergy partners benefit from the simple
mounting and reduced, space-saving wiring of slots thanks to
SmartWire-DT.

SmartWire-DT®.
Data transparency inclusive.

Being able to use a controller to directly access all of a soft starter's and frenquency inverter's parameters via SmartWire-DT is the epitome of ease of operation. Users can read and overwrite potentiometer settings. Extended status,
error, and diagnostic messages can be retrieved directly. The result: absolutedata transparency. The plug-in units make installation fast and foolproof, and theresulting connection includes the soft starter's control current supply.

Motor starters from our standard
range of products
DS7 soft starters are connected to PKZ or PKE
motor-protective circuit-breakers by meansof a plug-in design that does not require any
tools. NZM circuit-breakers are available forsoft starting three-phase asynchronous motors
with currents of 32 A and higher.
In conjunction with a PLC, SmartWire-DT is
not only a simple and cost-effective solution,
but also has many advantages:• Access to all parameters (read and write)• Read and overwrite manually configured
device parameters• Detailed diagnostics and status messages
available• Parameter access with a service laptop(parallel to PLC access) even during ongoing
operation

Motor-starter combinations with soft starters DS7
In connection with SmartWire-DT, using a motor-starter combination consisting ofa PKE motor-protective circuit-breaker and a DS7 soft starter results in a numberof new advantages that provide perfect motor protection and increased availability.
• Device protection against overloads• Additional soft starter protection if there are too many starts per hour
• Overload protection relay function (in the event of an overload, the DS7 willtrip instead of the PKE)
• Diagnostics and status messages available via SmartWire-DT• Increases system availability by transmitting process-relevant data
• Advance warning function for avoiding overloads• Eliminates time-consuming troubleshooting during commissioning and maintenance• Adjustable current limiting function

Greater data transparency for the control
room
In the past, control rooms only received information fromthose automation components connected via a bus system.
SmartWire-DT allows all components to deliver digital information, and for many switchgears to also deliver analog data,such as related to current motor currents. The SmartWire-DT
line connects not just switchgear, but soft starters and variable frequency drives as well, linking them directly to the PLC,
visualization and control room. Device without direct access to
SmartWire-DT can be connected via I/O boxes.

PowerXL frequency inverters: Communicate with SmartWire-DT
PowerXL™ frequency inverters
All frequency inverters of the new DC1 and DA1 series
will be expandable in future with SmartWire-DT modules.
SmartWire-DT will enable you to communicate with thefrequency inverter in compliance with the Profidrive profile.
Other profiles are available for simple applications.
Enhanced diagnostics functions are provided in addition to
the ability to modify parameters in the frequency inverter.
Function blocks enable the simple connection to Eaton PLCs
