Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and I/O systems

easyE4 programmable relays

The easyE4 control relay from Eaton's Moeller series is ideally suited for implementing the control and regulation of small to medium complex applications efficiently and flexibly. It offers a wide range of custom and simple visualization options: whether on mobile devices thanks to the web server including the integrated web-editor or with the easyE Remote Touch Displays. The device can also be connected directly to Amazon Web Services (AWS). The easyE4 series offers a wide range of communication options via the integrated Ethernet interface featuring the functions of a mini-PLC for machine and system control. With the integrated Modbus TCP client and server functionality, components of different levels can be integrated. The communication modules for Modbus RTU and SmartWire-DT make the easyE4 to a smart relay enabling the monitoring machines and systems. Many other functions make the easyE4 a powerful micro controller that can also be integrated into IoT system architectures.

More flexibility with fewer components

The easyE4 and the input/output expansion modules are available with DC, AC and UC (universal) voltage, which makes them ideal for use in building or machine building applications. By means of up to 11 expansion modules, the easyE4 can be expanded to max. 188 inputs/outputs. All expansions can be mixed and combined as required. Thanks to the clever plug-in technology, the expansion modules can be quickly connected or replaced. 

AWS Cloud Application - easyE4 control relay

AWS Cloud Application

The easyE4 control relay comes with a direct connection to Amazon Web Services (AWS), one of the world‘s most widely used cloud platforms. This means that the information stored on any number of easyE4 devices can be safely transferred to the cloud in compliance with the latest cybersecurity standards. Once it is in the cloud, it can then be aggregated to monitor processes, integrate features such as artificial intelligence or generate automated commands.

The connection takes place via MQTT, a lightweight messaging protocol. By securely transferring data to the cloud, users can leverage AWS services such as data storage, analysis and visualisation. This enables the implementation of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, from remote monitoring to machine learning.

Discover the multiple communication options the easyE4 has to offer, including Modbus TCP and several others:

Integrated Web Editor

The integrated web editor allows users to create simple visualizations on devices with a web browser, including custom graphics and operating elements. The web editor is part of Eaton’s easySoft software, allowing for seamless integration between the graphical user interface and the programming of the easyE4.

Tailor-made programming options – easySoft software

Use the Micro-SD card for programming

Each base device is equipped with a Micro SD card slot. Via the SD card, existing programs can simply be uploaded to the devices, which makes it much easier to commission series production systems, for example. In addition, an individual start-up image can also be uploaded, for example your company logo. The SD card is also used for data logging and the subsequent evaluation of operating states. In addition, the firmware update can be done via the SD card.

The next generation of control relays

Find out more on why easyE4 as a next-generation control relay can be a real alternative for PLC systems and standard industrial relays. Whether for lighting control in buildings (eg. in the function of a staircase timer), as a control system in automated assembly lines or for pump control in smaller plants - the areas of application for the easyE4 as a small plc are diverse. Read more about this in the application references.
