1 SmartWire-DT Gateway® EU5C-SWD-DP
1.1 Proper use
EU5C-SWD-DP SmartWire-DT gateways are used to establish a connection
between a SmartWire-DT line, together with its SmartWire-DT modules, and
a higher-level controller.
SmartWire-DT is not designed for transmitting safety-relevant signals and
must not be used as a replacement for controllers such as burner, crane, and
two-hand safety controllers.
Despite the above, SmartWire-DT can be used in applications with safety
categories of up to 3, PL d as per EN ISO 13849-1 and SIL Cl2 as per
EN 62061 if specific add-ons are incorporated. For more information, please
consult manual "SmartWire-DT Modules", MN05006001Z-EN.
1.2 Overview of functions
EU5C-SWD-DP gateways are used to connect a SmartWire-DT line with
PROFIBUS-DP and make it possible to access the data of up to 58
SmartWire-DT modules . These gateways can be integrated as modular field
bus modules into control systems that use this type of communications. This
makes it possible to access the data of every individual module from the con-
troller.

The integrated Ethernet switch on the device is used to connect Standard 9-
pin D-sub socket . The SmartWire-DT line, along with its modules, is con-
nected to the gateway. The ribbon cable, with the SWD modules and all con-
nection components - such as blade terminals and external device plugs - is
referred to as the "SWD line."
