Eaton; Power Management and Industrial Automation Products from LC Automation

Eaton is one of the world's leading intelligent power management companies, with over a century of experience and annual sales exceeding $27 billion. Operating across more than 175 countries and employing over 92,000 people, they are a significant presence across electrical, industrial automation and power control markets.

Their product range is broad, covering everything from variable speed drives, PLCs and HMIs through to contactors, motor starters, safety relays and their innovative SmartWire-DT wiring system. If you are building or maintaining an automated system, there is a good chance Eaton has something relevant to you.

A genuinely complete automation portfolio. Rather than specialising in one area, Eaton offers a coherent range of products that work together: drives, controllers, HMIs, switchgear, sensors and wiring solutions all from one manufacturer. This makes system integration more straightforward and support easier to manage.

SmartWire-DT: rethinking panel wiring.
One of Eaton's most distinctive offerings is SmartWire-DT, an intelligent wiring system that replaces the complex point-to-point wiring inside a control panel with a single eight-pole cable. Up to 99 devices, including contactors, motor starters, drives and pilot devices, can be connected on one cable run of up to 600 m. Wiring, testing and commissioning time is reduced by up to 85%, panels are more compact, and the system provides real-time diagnostic data to support preventive maintenance. For machine builders in particular, this can make a real difference to build time and ongoing reliability.

Over 100 years of motor control experience. Eaton's Moeller series has a long-established reputation for quality in starting, controlling and protecting motors. That heritage carries through to their current product range.

Built for Industry 4.0. Eaton products are designed with connectivity in mind. Their controllers, drives and HMIs support Ethernet and a range of fieldbus protocols, and SmartWire-DT provides the kind of real-time process data that underpins modern IIoT and predictive maintenance strategies.
