Communications and I/O Products

As you search for an integrated hardware, software, and communication solution that focuses on Power Integrity, Protection, and Instant InformationSM, discover IT.. Cutler-Hammer Intelligent Technologies (IT.) by Eaton Corporation provide the control, communications, protection, and power required in the most demanding and sophisticated commercial and industrial applications.

IT. Didn't Happen By Chance
We combined intensive customer research with engineering and manufacturing expertise to create the most advanced family of control and automation products available. IT. offers high performance and innovative features for both simple and complex systems and projects.

Power Integrity and Protection
By incorporating 24V DC control, we've reduced the risk inherent to working with electricity. We've also taken steps to reduce the wear and damage to system mechanical parts such as belts, gears, bearings, clutches and shafts. Wiring errors are minimized when the control circuit wiring is done at the factory. More safety benefits include:

  • Advanced motor data
  • Fault code communication
  • Fault queues
  • Removable and lockable terminal blocks
  • Guarded terminals and protective covers
  • UL/CSA/CE Approvals
  • Ground fault protection

Connect and Control
What happens when you combine IT. with communication capabilities? A WHOLE LOT! With DeviceNet™ and QCPort communications you will be able to take advantage of programmable and selectable control, protective and I/O functions, as well as fault monitoring and status indication. Configuration is easy and can happen on line, or off. Additionally, you will be able to:

  • Monitor device and application parameters
  • Troubleshoot with device diagnostics and status indication
  • Expanded control and protective functions
  • Share information across the enterprise

Reduced Footprint
Compact design, integrated functions, modularity and low power consumption are just some of the many factors that make installing IT. easy, with an emphasis on lower installed costs. The addition of communication does not add panel space and when used in conjunction with the IT. motor control, panel space is actually reduced.

Communicate
DeviceNet and QCPort communications are provided by Cutler-Hammer Starter Network Adapter Products (DSNAP and QSNAP), Network Adapter and discrete I/O modules, cover controls, and software

Power
24V DC supplies safe and reliable power to communication networks, starters, soft starters, I/O modules, and adapters.
