New Gateway: SmartWire-DT Now Communicates with Powerlink

Systemautomation. SmartWire-DT therefore not only supports the fieldbus protocols Profibus-DP, CANopen, Modbus-TCP,

EthernetIP and Profinet, but also the high performance and real-time capable Ethernet Powerlink protocol

originally developed by B&R for automation tasks. The benefits of the Lean philosophy, such as a considerably simpler planning, configuration, commissioning and maintenance are now available for this user group. Switchgear such as operator elements, contactors and motor-protective circuit-breakers, DS7 soft

starters right through to the PKE electronic motor-protective circuit-breaker, the PowerXL variable frequency drive and the circuit-breakers of the NZM series can now be deployed with greater data transparency. The gateway transfers the data of the various stations to the controller via Powerlink.
