The easyE4 next-generation series of PLCs is designed to provide fast Ethernet communication and high flexibility in programming structured text applications. The globally rated nano PLC is engineered with 12 I/O receptacles and can be expanded with as many as 11 expansion devices to support networks containing up to 188 I/O points. An intelligent front-panel display can be customized with color backgrounds for alarms and start graphics for on-site visualization. System changes also can be accomplished through the PLC’s front-panel programming to eliminate the need to change wiring and minimize downtime. It can be connected to any HMI with additional access to the PLC Web server through any standard browser.
