Programmable logic controllers (PLC)

easyE4 nano programmable logic controllers

The easyE4 control relay is ideal for efficiently managing small to medium-complexity applications. It offers flexible visualization options via mobile devices using the integrated web server and web editor, or through easyE Remote Touch Displays. Native connectivity to Amazon Web Services (AWS) supports cloud integration.

With built-in Ethernet and Modbus TCP client/server functionality, easyE4 enables seamless communication across system components. Additional modules for Modbus RTU and SmartWire-DT enhance its capabilities, making it a smart relay for machine and system monitoring. These features, combined with its mini-PLC functions, make easyE4 a powerful microcontroller ready for IoT architectures.

easyE4 nano programmable logic controllers core features

  • Maximum flexibility, with up to 11 local expansion modules per base unit
  • The 188 available inputs/outputs within a single easyE4 system provide coverage for a broad range of applications
  • A compact product with a large voltage range (DC, AC and UC)
  • Base units with different voltage types can be combined as required by means of the available expansion modules, which makes handling the easyE4 devices even more effortless
  • The integrated Ethernet interface allows for a broad range of communication options
  • A user-friendly programming environment with four programming languages (ST, FBD, LD, EDP) to choose from
  • Various display and visualization options, the integrated display, web server, and Ethernet options make visualization on mobile devices possible
  • The integrated micro SD card facilitates data logging and customized startup displays
  • Display with three background colors (red, green, white) for visualization of different device statuses
  • Real-time clock as well as Ethernet services ensure highly precise date and time indication
  • The interrupt function enables fast event recognition and rapid response times
  • Communication modules available for field bus protocols such as Modbus RTU and Smartwire-DT

Scalable software solutions - easySoft

Eaton’s easySoft software is used to program easy controllers and displays. The software provides circuit diagram input, editing and the diagrams can be displayed in the format desired. An integrated offline simulation tool allows users to test a circuit diagram before commissioning. It supports users who are configuring, programming and defining parameters for all of the intelligent relays and creating visualization functions for the MFD displays.

Think differently about effortless control

Faced with PLCs that have exhausted their capabilities and are driving your costs up? Learn how the easyE4 can help reduce your assembly times and machine costs. This next generation series of programmable logic controllers provides fast Ethernet communication and high flexibility in programming structured text applications.
