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.

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.

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.

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).

As one of the leading manufacturers of components, systems and solutions for electrical engineering and automation, Eaton’s Electrical Sector today announced the expanding of the soft starter series DS7 with devices up to 200 A. The soft starter is increasingly becoming established as an alternative to the star-delta starter. Users are thus provided with a complete system from 4 to 200 A with a standard actuation and functionality that will fully replace the previous DS4 and DS6 series. The supply voltage on the DS7 ranges from 200 to 480 V, and versions with 24 V AC/DC and 110-230V AC actuation are available.

Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation has launched its new Power Xpert^® CX, an International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) low voltage switchgear with a range up to 4000 amperes (A). The system provides reliable motor control and power distribution functionality for industrial and commercial installations. The innovative design, combined with Eaton's expertise in low voltage applications, brings a new, reliable platform that is the heart of any motor control or power distribution system. Power Xpert CX is a compact, ergonomic and flexible system.

A leading manufacturer of components and systems in electrical engineering and automation technology, Eaton is selling its 50 percent interest in the Eaton/Turck joint venture MT ElektroniX GmbH (MTX) to Turck and focusing on its own interconnection and communications system, SmartWire-DT.

As one of the leading manufacturers of components and systems for electrical engineering and automation, Eaton’s Electrical Sector together with Eaton Hydraulics is presenting “Solutions from Lean Connectivity to Lean Automation” in a European-wide technology road show. From August 2011 to the end of 2012 the Eaton Road Show will be touring Europe and presenting directly to the customer a wide range of innovations for machine building and system building applications. Not only device components but also solutions that offer a considerable value addition for users will be showcased.

Eaton is about to complete the integration of the Moeller Group acquired in 2008 with changes to its products and packaging: From July 1 Eaton will start to replace the Moeller logo with the Eaton logo on all products and packaging. These changes in the product range will be completed over the course of 2011 by the planned completion date of January 1 2012.
