2 I/O modules EU5E-SWD…2.1 IntroductionSmartWire-DT modules IP20 09/17 MN05006001Z EN www.eaton.com 192 I/O modules EU5E-SWD…2.1 IntroductionThe SmartWire-DT input/output modules (I/O modules) are used for connect-ing of other sensor and actuator devices. These can include, auxiliary con-tacts of additional switchgear without built-in SmartWire-DT technology. Toreduce wiring, the modules are placed immediately next to the sensors/actu-ators.A range of modules with digital or analog inputs and outputs are available.Following is a description of the I/O modules' general characteristics andinformation on their use. For further information about specific modules, seethe module descriptions that follow this section.The interoperability requirements for these SWD modules are described in￫ Section 14.5, „SWD module interoperability requirements“, page 258.2.2 Surface mountingFigure 5: Connections of a SmartWire-DT I/O module2.3 EngineeringThe SmartWire-DT I/O modules are meant for connecting additional sensorsand actuators that do not feature integrated SmartWire-DT capabilities. Themodules are placed in the immediate vicinity of the sensors or actuators,which markedly reduces the remaining wiring. The signal and supply cablesare connected to the SmartWire-DT ribbon cable through SmartWire-DTdevice plug SWD4-8SF2-5. The connection to the inputs and outputs and theoptional power supply is implemented with push-in terminals.abcdea SmartWire-DT cable with external device plugb SmartWire-DT diagnostics LEDc Input/output status displays (optional)d Input/output terminalse External supply (optional)
