SCHURTER’s Smart Connectors together with its Smart Ecosystem, feature two innovative products: the internal Smart Connector DS11 and the external Smart Connector DT31.

The internal Smart Connector DS11 is the world’s first intelligent power entry module combining intelligence with a standard IEC 60320 C14 inlet. It is designed to perform its basic power entry function, while providing equipment manufacturers the ability to offer their customers extended functionality without the additional engineering time and cost to develop their own solutions. Along the same lines, the DT31 incorporates the same functionality, but is designed to be used as an external add-on device. The standalone, plug-and-play device can quickly and conveniently upgrade an existing equipment by way of daisy chain from its IEC 60320 C14 inlet and C13 outlet to the equipment. The DT31 is an ideal solution for upgrading aftermarket equipment. Both the DS11 and DT31 have a WLAN connection. The DS11 also offers a serial interface for direct connection to the host device.

To be used alongside the Smart Connectors, SCHURTER also offers a comprehensive cloud-based Smart Ecosystem which offers a range of services to cater to different needs. There is a basic software package included with each DS11 and DT31, with a range of upgrades available for additional fees. The DS11 and DT31 can be accessed via the Smart Connector App available on Android and Apple iOS. The SCHURTER Smart App, and Dashboard in particular, makes remote monitoring and controlling connected devices easy.
