8 SmartWire-DT8.1 IntroductionDS7 Soft starter 09/16 MN03901001Z-EN www.eaton.com 1458 SmartWire-DT8.1 IntroductionThe SmartWire-DT connection system is an intelligent system and makespossible the reliable and easy connection of switching devices, pilot devicesand I/O components with overriding bus systems. The components that areconnected with the SmartWire-DT system are linked, e.g. to PROFIBUS-DPor CANopen communication networks via gateways using SmartWire-DTmasters.With the SmartWire-DT system up to 99 modules can be connected to forma network. Modules can include SmartWire-DT I/O modules or SmartWire-DTmodules for contactors or pilot devices. The electrical connection is effectedvia a special 8-pole connecting lead and the relevant plugs.Soft starters with part no. DS7-34D…-D… (abbreviated as “DS7-SWD” here)are capable of being connected to a SmartWire-DT system and to a higher-level PLC as a result. These soft starters can be controlled and monitored viaSmartWire-DT, and their parameters can be configured via SmartWire-DT aswell.Depending on the specific model and field of application, DS7-SWD softstarters can be combined and operated together with an NZM circuit-breaker, a PKZ motor-protective circuit-breaker, or a PKE electronic motor-protective circuit-breaker as a safety device. In addition, it is possible toconnect a PKE motor-protective circuit-breaker to SmartWire-DT via a DS7-SWD soft starter and to read its information this way as well. For thispurpose, the PKE motor-protective circuit-breaker features an electronic tripblock with its own communication module.￫ This chapter uses the original English terms that appearthroughout a variety of specifications (e.g., SmartWire-DT,PROFIdrive) ￫ section 8.4, “Abbreviations”.
