Cabling can be one of the most challenging aspects of automation and drive system installations, often leading to delays, faults and inefficiencies. As a global leader in drive and automation technology, SEW-EURODRIVE understands that reliable cabling is critical to the success of any project.
Recognising the complexity and risks that traditional cabling can introduce, SEW-EURODRIVE offers a solution that simplifies connectivity, its innovative Digital Data Interface (DDI) technology combined with a single cable system. Designed to meet the demanding needs of modern industry this approach eliminates the potential for cable connection faults that so often delay commissioning and compromise long term performance.
Unlike conventional cabling that requires multiple cables for power, feedback and control, SEW-EURODRIVE’s single cable solution integrates both energy transmission and data communication seamlessly. This not only reduces installation time and costs but also streamlines project planning, improves machine design flexibility and increases system reliability. With fewer connection points and reduced wiring complexity the risk of installation errors is dramatically decreased, ensuring faster, smoother startups and greater operational confidence.
“From our experience across industries worldwide, we know that even minor cabling issues can escalate into major project setbacks,” says Willem Strydom, business development electronics manager, at SEW-EURODRIVE South Africa. “With our DDI technology and single cable design, customers can eliminate these risks, enabling more efficient installations and maximising system uptime from day one.”
The DDI system transmits both digital encoder signals and motor temperature information through the same cable used for supplying power. This integrated communication ensures real-time feedback from the motor without the need for additional wiring, delivering high levels of accuracy and process control while simplifying maintenance requirements.
“SEW-EURODRIVE’s commitment to simplifying industrial automation while improving reliability continues to set new standards,” Strydom says. “By offering a complete drive solution that reduces cabling, improves diagnostics and enhances overall system efficiency we help businesses across sectors achieve operational excellence.
The single cable solution underpinned by proven DDI technology empowers businesses to achieve faster, more secure and more cost effective drive installations – keeping operations running at full potential while supporting future-ready automation strategies.
