Power Xpert FMX Medium

Voltage Switchgear System - optimized with SASensor for Tomorrow’s Smart Grid. As one of the leading manufacturers of components, systems and solutions for electrical engineering and automation, Eaton’s Electrical Sector is launching new Power Xpert FMX Medium-Voltage Switchgear System - optimized with SASensor for Tomorrow’s Smart Grid. FMX is an innovative and compact switchboard system with plug-in type circuit-breakers. The system is suitable for use up to 24 kV and was specially developed for use in the supply grids of electricity suppliers and for connecting industrial and supply companies. The FMX can be custom fitted with different digital systems for protection and remote control tasks.

TÜV Certificate: Safe Monitoring of Furnaces with easySafety

As one of the leading manufacturers of components and systems for electrical engineering and automation, Eaton is now offering easySafety for the safe monitoring of furnaces – also with TÜV approval. Machines and plants contain potentially dangerous motion sequences that require a technical solution to make them safe. Safety devices such as emergency-stop pushbuttons, guard doors, light curtains and operating elements for safe setting must be controlled and monitored, and the installation may have to be switched to a safe state. Safety-related monitoring is also required in furnaces. EN 50156 stipulates that the fuel supply must be shut off safely as soon as the safety criteria in the boiler plant responds. The easySafety control relay has now also been tested and approved by TÜV Rheinland for use in the safe monitoring of furnaces in accordance with EN 50156: easySafety thus enables users to implement a safety shut off of the fuel supply to furnaces up to safety integrity level SIL 3.

Eaton Catalogs in the App-Store

The new Eaton Catalogs App for smartphones and tablets includes the current Eaton Main Catalog, the brochure “From Lean Connectivity to Lean Automation” and the latest issues of the Eaton SOLUTIONS customer magazine.

PKE 65 Motor-Protective Circuit-Breaker with Electronic Wide-Range Overload Protection Extends the PKE Range.

As one of the leading manufacturers of components and systems for electrical engineering and automation, Eaton is now offering new PKE 65 motor-protective circuit-breakers with wide-range overload protection. Electrical motors currently in operation come in a wide range of different variants. In the majority of processes their particular features enable them to determine production efficiency. A motor fault often not only jeopardizes the device, but also prevents a smooth production process and causes costly downtimes. Motor protection is therefore not only essential from a technical point of view but also from a financial perspective.

SmartWire-DT Now Also for Ethernet/IP and Modbus-TCP.

As one of the leading manufacturers of components and systems for electrical engineering and automation, Eaton is now offering a new gateway for SmartWire-DT in order to connect to Ethernet IP and Modbus TCP. The innovative SmartWire-DT communication system for networking control circuit and switching devices can now also be connected to controllers via an Ethernet/IP or Modbus-TCP network. This is made possible thanks to the new EU5C-SWD-EIP-MODTCP SmartWire-DT gateway which comes with a 10/100MBit switch and simplifies the configuration of linear structures.

New High-End XV150 Touch Display Series from Eaton with an Aluminum Front and integrated SmartWire-DT Master

As one of the leading manufacturers of components, systems and solutions for electrical engineering and automation, Eaton’s Electrical Sector is launching new XV152 touch display PLCs which offer a high-performance HMI/PLCs and with an integrated SmartWire-DT master. The new XV150 devices with resistive touch technology and color TFT display offer an optimum solution especially for the price sensitive sector and stand out for their high quality aluminum fronts with protection to IP65, robust metal housings and an especially flat design. The HMI/PLC’s are available with 5.7”, 8.4” and 10.4” Touch-Displays.

New Eaton SmartWire-DT business partners: Hilscher and Wöhner sign cooperation agreement at SPS/IPC/DRIVES 2011.

As a leading manufacturer of components and systems in electrical engineering and automation technology, Eaton’s Electrical Sector is presenting two new Eaton SmartWire-DT business partners at SPS/IPC/DRIVES: Hilscher, a system automation company in Hattersheim and a leader in industrial communications systems, and Wöhner in Rödental, a specialist in bus bar system technology.

European Energy Masters 2011, Munich: Green Buildings – sustainable, cost-effective building solutions from Eaton

As a leading energy management company, Eaton is ideally positioned to take on one of the key challenges of our time – reducing the costs and ecological impacts of our world’s growing thirst for energy. Since 1911, Eaton has been supporting its customers with new ideas for using energy in an as safe, efficient and environmentally-friendly way as possible – and not least in the building sector.

Eaton easy800 control relays with Smart Wire-DT: Wiring, programming and commissioning controllers quickly and efficiently

As one of the leading manufacturers of components and systems for electrical engineering and automation, Eaton's Electrical Sector is now offering the easy800 control relay with Smart Wire-DT: The easy800 family is being extended with two new devices which offer the features of the easy800 control relay on the one hand and the connection to Smart Wire-DT on the other. Instead of connecting the switching device inputs and outputs to the controller in the conventional manner, the new switching devices are connected to Smart Wire-DT (SW-DT). Up to 99 Smart Wire-DT slaves with over 160 inputs/outputs can be connected to the two new devices for the adequate control of small or medium-sized machines. Both devices (EASY80x-DC-SWD) come with a serial interface as standard for programming or connecting a remote display such as the Eaton MED-Titan multi-function display (MFD-CP4 plus MFD-80-B).
