SmartWire-DT – PowerXL DG1 Series
General
Cyclic and acyclic data as well as diagnostic data can be 
transferred via the SmartWire-DT system. The number of 
cyclic data is variable and is defined with the aid of profiles. 
The cyclical and acyclical data used by PowerXL DG1 
variable frequency drives has been designed in such a 
way as to match the following profiles and meet the 
following standards:
 •
The standard specified by SmartWire-DT,
 •
The PROFIdrive profile
The appropriate profile can be selected by the user
Operation mode
The parameter Operation Mode B19.1.1.4 above shows 
the mode in which SmartWire-DT module is working.
PD2x16Bit Profile
This group supplements the variable frequency drive profile 
with the PROFIdrive profile as the PNO has defined for the 
cyclic data-exchange with a drive. Control and status data 
will be processed according to the PROFIdrive profile.
8Bit Profile
Control and status data will be processed as per the 
I/O link profile.
1-0-A Switch
The drive is controlled by dip switch to test the functionality. 
The 1-0-A switch‘s positions are as follows:
 •
1: Variable frequency drive is activated
 •
0: Variable frequency drive deactivated
 •
A: switching command via SmartWire-DT
ote: N Intermediate 1-0-A switch positions are not 
permitted, and will have no defined function.
PowerXL DG1 SmartWire-DT interface
PowerXL DG1 has SmartWire-DT profile 4.1, which allows –
 •
Direct control of the drive using PROFIBUS Master
 •
Full access to all drive parameters
