How to use function blocks to implement flexible and cost-effective automation projects with a micro PLC

Download the white paper on flexible programming of control relays with user function blocks

What makes this industrial control relay stand out in particular is its wide range of programming options. The white paper describes the use of the ladder diagram, function block diagram and easy device programming (EDP) languages as well as the many possibilities of programming with structured text offered by the next generation of control relays.

The powerful capabilities of the easyE4 industrial control relay are based on modular software components. Users can program their own function blocks, integrate them into the controller and use them across different projects. Thanks to this modular concept, the controller is highly flexible and cost-effective. What’s more, it also considerably reduces the time required for software development.

The integrated web server enables visualisation via a web panel or a browser, for example on mobile devices. Function blocks can be created and managed using the easySoft 7 development tool. In addition, numerous simulation options are available to ensure safe and smooth commissioning.

This white paper was written by Ulrich Kanngießer. The author has written several books on small controllers/control relays, as well as on programming with structured text.
