Direct Connection of Electrical Drives – With the SMI Master
Less is more: WAGO's new “Standard Motor Interface” Master Module (753-1630) comes without a level inverter. Now connect electrical drives for blinds and shutters to the module directly. WAGO is also offering its new SMI Configurator software, which features a familiar ribbon design and is rich in helpful functions that simplify module configuration.
Your benefits:
- Connect SMI drives directly to the WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 750
- Save space and costs
- SMI Configurator software makes addressing, configuring and commissioning SMI drives easier
- A digital input for manual control of SMI drives (e.g., maintenance, window cleaning) independent of the PLC program
- A digital output temporarily deactivates the drives when they are not needed
- Data transfer to all management and operating levels using fieldbus-independent building automation protocols, such as BACnet or KNX
Building automation is growing steadily amid the backdrop of energy efficiency, which makes the Standard Motor Interface (SMI) ideal for room automation. The SMI sub-bus system specializes in the control and the precise positioning of sunblind drives.
Smaller dimensions than comparable SMI master modules, paired with advanced technology: The SMI Master (753-1630) meets all stringent requirements for the use of shades in building or industrial environments. In addition to wiring overhead, additional costs can be reduced by eliminating standard serial interface modules, including SMI level inverters, allowing SMI drives to be directly connected to the module. Furthermore, the module has an integrated power supply, making an external power supply unnecessary.
User-Friendly and Cost-Effective: WAGO's SMI Master
In addition to economically connecting shutter and sun protection drives, WAGO's 753-1630 SMI Master Module sets itself apart with its user- friendliness. Numerous libraries of pre-built functions and function blocks for bidirectional transmission of SMI commands and information ensure quick startup of controller functions. WAGO's new SMI Configurator software is also available, allowing SMI networks to be designed and commissioned much easier. The software is used to quickly address the SMI drives and to expedite both the import and export of all configured drives.
