Automated Testing Equipment for Photovoltaic Central Inverter

As one of the leading manufacturers of components and systems for electrical engineering and automation, Eatons Electrical Sector solves heavy load issues in the motor control of conveyor systems with a combination of the PKE motor-protective circuit-breaker and the SmartWire-DT communication system. The result is comprehensive indication functions and extended drive monitoring, even under tough conditions. Unnecessary outages can be prevented.

Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation (NYSE:ETN) joined today with its partners at Czech Invest and the Czech Technical University in Prague (CVUT) to announce the opening in Prague of Eaton’s newest global Innovation Center. The new facility at Roztoky Science & Technology Center will be Eaton's first global innovation center in Europe and fifth in the company's global network of advanced innovation centers, also located in the United States, India and China.

The conveyor system for transporting cement clinker at the Lägerdorf production plant of Holcim (Deutschland) AG uses SmartWire-DT, Eaton's innovative connection and communication technology.

As one of the leading manufacturers of components and systems for electrical engineering and automation, Eaton’s Electrical Sector is presenting its new 3D CAD Download Portal, based on the PARTcommunity technology from Cadenas. A special feature of Version 2.0 of the Eaton Download Portal is its new design. An upgraded navigation function and enhanced menu guidance are additional features, thus considerably improving user friendliness. New search functions have also been implemented, thus enabling users to find 3D CAD models quickly and simply, download them easily and integrate them in their design. The 3D CAD online portal includes the product areas industrial switchgear, power distribution systems, system products, as well as building automation and installation technology.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
