Implementing system architectures with Eaton’s easyE4

The easyE4 control relays can be used within many different projects meeting your requirements for a flexible, modular system. If used in conjunction with the other components from the Eaton portfolio, such as our pilot devices or motor starters, the devices allow you to implement integrated system architectures that can be easily expanded.

Our example shows three different areas of application: Operation and visualization, motor start and controls, and sensor technology. The easyE4 control relay serves as an important interface between the individual components of the system architecture.

Since the in-/outputs in the easyE4 system can be easily extended, it is possible to integrate a wide variety of devices, such as those from our RMQ-Titan range. In addition, you can also connect motor starters, variable speed starters or sensors to the easyE4. The devices within each easyE4 network (cluster) communicate via NET. The XV100, which can be easily connected via Modbus TCP, is used for visualization.

A Modbus gateway is used to integrate additional modules, such as those from our SmartWire-DT range. Modbus TCP is also used to transmit the system-level data, which can then be visualized on a masterlevel control system using Codesys. With the easyE4, the operating status of the entire application can also be conveniently displayed on any mobile device.
