Fieldbus control for adjustable
frequency drives
The SV9000 DeviceNet interface enables users to configure, control and monitor a wide range of parameters on SV9000 adjustable frequency drives from a PC, directly via a DeviceNet fieldbus network
Eaton Corporation, the world-leading manufacturer of Cutler-Hammer industrial controls and circuit protection equipment, has launched its SV9000 DeviceNet Interface For the first time, this interface enables users to configure, control and monitor a wide range of parameters on the complete range of Eaton's industry-leading Cutler-Hammer SV9000 adjustable frequency drives from a PC, directly via a DeviceNet fieldbus network

Arran Controls actively promotes the benefit of containerisation to the customer and used this technique successfully to meet an order from Eastern Europe for a containerised package sub station
Machine diagnostic information can be accessed via a facility-wide information network, enabling system managers to track process operation and facilitate process documentation - increasing efficiency and reducing or eliminating downtime.
The interface has a simplified system design and start-up, providing users with a truly plug-and-play, real-time machine control system, reducing control wiring and CPU costs and increasing flexibility and productivity.
Consisting of a single circuit board, the SV9000 DeviceNet Interface is available as a factory-installed option or as an on-site-installable kit and is designed to work with the complete line of SV9000 drives.

Fastest ever set-up for drives
Cutler-Hammer has launched its new range of SV9000 adjustable frequency drives, offering more choices, options and accessories, and setting a new benchmark in installation speed.
The interface operates through a single-cable intelligent control network, replacing the costly and time-consuming wiring associated with standard master-slave control and reducing CPU costs.
Eaton's range of Cutler-Hammer SV9000 adjustable frequency drives offers more choices, options and accessories, and sets a new benchmark in installation speed.
The next generation SV9000 drives contain multiple pre-configured settings, which enable them to fit a wide range of applications - from simple variable torque applications to more complex industrial hardware including pumps and fans, conveyors, mixers, lifts, and cranes.
This offers customers their quickest start-up ever, whatever the application.
The SV9000 DeviceNet Interface enables users to configure, control and monitor a wide range of drive parameters including: • START/STOP • Direction • Speed control • Acceleration/deceleration rate • Motor current • Output frequency • And many more Eaton selected the DeviceNet industrial control network solution to integrate with the SV9000 range because: • DeviceNet delivers all the functionality necessary for efficient and effective machine control at virtually the cost of lower capability bit level networks.
• DeviceNet is the only network standard that is truly open from a hardware, software and protocol point of view.
• DeviceNet is supported by the Open DeviceNet Vendor Association (ODVA), a constantly growing association of system suppliers that manages the worldwide growth of DeviceNet and that is dedicated to open DeviceNet solutions.
