Recommended Transmission Media Selection Criteria Industrial Ethernet offers a wide range of transmission media such as copper and fiber. It can be difficult to choose the best media for your application. The following are criteria to consider. Ensure cabling is specified to withstand high voltage, noise, harsh, and potentially hazardous environments factors: Shielded cables are…
Motors are expensive and essential. We’ve defined these standards of motor protection: Motors can be damaged or destroyed under any of the following conditions: Low or high supply voltage Phase unbalance Continuous excessive loading Single-phasing Jam or stall conditions Ground/earth faults Mechanical failures such as seized motor bearing or binding mechanical linkages Consider…
You’re invited to the Smart Manufacturing Summit! The future of manufacturing is bright. Smart Manufacturing is predicted to be the next Industrial Revolution and it is driven by connectivity and the unprecedented access to data. We have an opportunity to do great things, but getting started has been daunting. Smart Manufacturing, Industrie 4.0 and Connected…

This “cheat sheet” provides an overview of the Eaton Power Xpert C445 Motor Management Relay, including classifications, required components, and optional accessories. This document breaks down specific processes into a set of smaller tasks, which will help with commissioning. To understand the architecture and functionalities of a complete C445 Motor Management Relay system, we must…
The purpose of this guide is to help technicians and engineers integrate Yaskawa Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) into a new or existing EtherNet/IP network, specifically Rockwell Automation (RA) Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC). EtherNet/IP (EIP) is being used in a wide range of industries and is one of the fastest growing industrial protocols in the United…
The purpose of this guide is to assist technicians and engineers in integrating Eaton’s motor control products into a new or existing EtherNet/IP network, specifically Rockwell Automation (RA) Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC).

The surge in Ethernet adoption, combined with lower hardware costs, is rapidly changing how we interact with “smart” control and power devices. Manufacturing facilities on the road to modernization can incorporate smart devices, such as newer variable frequency drives (VFDs), with little to no retrofitting. This eliminates the need to rip and replace, which can…
