The components that are con-nected with the SmartWire-DT system are linked, e.g. to PROFIBUS-DP orCANopen communication networks via gateways using SmartWire-DT mas-ters.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, soft starters, drives or pilot devices. The electricalconnection is effected via a special 8-pole connecting lead and the relevantplugs.Variable frequency drives of series DC1 with the SmartWire-DT interfacecard SWD3 are suitable to be linked to the SmartWire-DT system and thus,to a higher-level PLC. These variable frequency drives can be configured,controlled and monitored via SmartWire-DT.￫ This chapter uses the original English terms that appearthroughout a variety of specifications (e.g., SmartWire-DT,PROFIdrive).
