Eaton is expanding its SmartWire-DT intelligent wiring and communication system with the addition of a range of compact IP67 I/O block modules. With these modules machine and system builders can quickly and easily integrate a larger number of sensors and actuators into a SmartWire-DT wiring line.
To help simplify project planning, two design sizes are available that allow up to eight or sixteen sensors or actuators to be connected via four or eight M12 connectors. Alongside simple input or output modules, hybrid and freely configurable I/O modules are available. Meanwhile, variants with an additional external power supply can cater for applications requiring greater power requirements.
