Wes Iversen, Managing Editor, interviews Richard Chung, SmartWire-DT program manager, Eaton Corp, and he demonstrates a system
developed by Eaton to save time and money in building control panels.
The SmartWire-DT approach includes “smart chips” and ribbon cables to
simplify connection and eliminate point-to-point wiring. Control panel
assembly times are typically improved by up to 40 percent, while
engineering design time and commissioning times are also reduced, Chung
says.
