"Safe, dependable power distribution is crucial across industry applications," said Mark Yerse, product manager at Eaton. "Eaton's expertise, impactful solutions, and customer-focused approach enables us to develop innovative solutions like the configurable XT motor control center, which will help customers better meet safety, reliability and communications requirements." Communications-enabled versions of the XT motor control center allow customers to configure, control and monitor their systems, so that maintenance and operations personnel can address problems before they cause downtime or excessive energy waste. Customers can select from EtherNet/IP and Modubus TCP communications protocols. Additionally, a gateway can be added to enable communications with external devices using other network protocols, the company said. To help protect personnel and equipment from the dangers of arc flash, arc-preventative FlashGard technology can be incorporated into the XT MCC. Eaton's FlashGard MCC is the arc-preventative motor control center designed to prevent and protect personnel and equipment from the dangers of arc flash. http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
