I
Before commencing the installation
Disconnect the power supply of the device.
Ensure that devices cannot be accidentally restarted.
Verify isolation from the supply.
Earth and short circuit.
Cover or enclose neighbouring units that are live.
Follow the engineering instructions (AWA) of the
device concerned.
Only suitably qualified personnel in accordance with
EN 50110-1/-2 (VDE 0105 Part 100) may work on
this device/system.
Before installation and before touching the device ensure
that you are free of electrostatic charge.
The functional earth (FE) must be connected to the protective
earth (PE) or to the potential equalisation. The system installer
is responsible for implementing this connection.
Connecting cables and signal lines should be installed so
that inductive or capacitive interference does not impair the
automation functions.
Install automation devices and related operating elements in
such a way that they are well protected against unintentional
operation.
Suitable safety hardware and software measures should be
implemented for the I/O interface so that a line or wire
breakage on the signal side does not result in undefined
states in the automation devices.
Ensure a reliable electrical isolation of the low voltage for the
24 volt supply. Only use power supply units complying with
IEC 60364-4-41 (VDE 0100 Part 410) or HD 384.4.41 S2.
Deviations of the mains voltage from the rated value must
not exceed the tolerance limits given in the specifications,
otherwise this may cause malfunction and dangerous
operation.
Emergency stop devices complying with IEC/EN 60204-1 must
be effective in all operating modes of the automation devices.
Unlatching the emergency-stop devices must not cause restart.
Devices that are designed for mounting in housings or control
cabinets must only be operated and controlled after they have
been installed with the housing closed. Desktop or portable
units must only be operated and controlled in enclosed
housings.
Measures should be taken to ensure the proper restart of
programs interrupted after a voltage dip or failure. This should
not cause dangerous operating states even for a short time.
If necessary, emergency-stop devices should be implemented.
Wherever faults in the automation system may cause
damage to persons or property, external measures must be
implemented to ensure a safe operating state in the event of
a fault or malfunction (for example, by means of separate limit
switches, mechanical interlocks etc.).

1.1 Target group
easy must only be installed and connected up by trained electricians or other
persons who are familiar with the installation of electrical equipment.
Specialist electrical training is needed for commissioning and creating circuit
diagrams. When active components such as motors or pressure cylinders
are controlled, parts of the system can be damaged and persons put at risk if
the MFD device is connected or programmed incorrectly.
1.2 Proper use
easy is a programmable switching and controlgear and is used as a
replacement for relay and contactor control circuits. easy may only be
operated when it has been correctly and properly installed.
easy is designed to be installed in an enclosure, switch cabinet or service
distribution board. Both the power supply and the signal terminals must
be laid and covered so as to prevent accidental contact.
The installation must comply with regulations for electromagnetic
compatibility EMC.
The power up of easy must not cause any hazards arising from activated
devices, such as unexpected motor startups or power ups.
1.2.1 Improper use
easy should not be used as a substitute for safety-related controls such as
burner or crane controls, emergency-stop or two-hand safety controls.

lEASY200-EASY coupling device
easy is an electronic control relay with logic functions, timer, counter and
time switch functions. It is also a control and input device in one, that can
perform many different tasks in domestic applications as well as in machine
building and plant construction.
easy ensures correct functioning at the start and during operation by
executing internal tests and with the help of various timeout watchdogs,
(Table 34:, Page 192).
Circuit diagrams are connected up using ladder diagrams. and each element
is entered directly via the easy display. You can:
Connect N/O and N/C contacts in series and in parallel
switch output relays and auxiliary relays,
Use outputs as relays, impulse relays or latching relays,
Use multi-function timing relays with different functions,
Use up and down counters,
Count high-speed counter pulses,
Measure frequencies,
Process analog inputs, easy-AB, easy-DA, easy-DC, (EASY512…: two
analog inputs, easy700: four analog inputs),
Display any texts with variables, enter setpoints,
Use year time switches, weekly timer, EASY…-…-.C(X),
Count operating hours (four retentive operating hours counters are
integrated),
trace the power flow in the circuit diagram,
load, store and password protect a circuit diagram.
If you wish to wire easy via your PC, use the easySoft-Basic or easySoft-Pro
programming software. easySoft allows you to create and test your program
(circuit diagram) on the PC. It also allows you to print out your circuit diagram
in DIN/IEC, ANSI/CSA or easy format.

Figure 8: Power supply on the AC expansion units
WARNING
Ensure the proper connection of the L phase conductor and N
neutral conductor if you are using easy-AS devices with a power
supply greater than 24 V AC!
If the L phase conductor and N neutral conductor connections
are reversed, the full connection voltage of the L phase
conductor (100 to 240 V AC) is present on the serial multi-
function interface.
Improper connection on the multi-function interface or the
insertion of conductive objects in the shaft may cause fatal
electric shock.
For your safety:
Use the original programming cable, which ensures safe
electrical isolation of the PC terminal from the connection
voltage of the L phase conductor (100 to 240 V AC).
Press the interface cover back onto the shaft if you no longer
need the interface.
CAUTION
A short current surge will be produced when switching on for
the first time. Do not switch on easy with reed contacts
because these could possibly burn or stick.

2.5.1.3 Cable lengths
Severe interference can cause a signal 1 on the inputs without a proper
signal being applied. Observe therefore the following maximum cable
lengths:
With longer cables you can, for example, connect a 1A diode (e.g. 1N4007)
with a blocking voltage of at least 1000 V in series with the easy input.
Ensure that the diode is pointing towards the input as shown in the circuit
diagram, otherwise easy will not detect the 1 state.
Figure 14: AC input with suppression diode for easy-AC and easy-AB
easy-AC:
Inputs I7 and I8 have a higher input current on the easy-AC. Neon bulbs with
a maximum residual current of 2 mA/1 mA at 230 V/115 V can be connected
to I7 and I8.
Two-wire proximity switches have a residual current with the “0” state. If
this residual current is too high, the easy input may only detect a “1” signal.
Use therefore the inputs I7, I8. An additional input circuit is required if more
inputs are needed.
I1 to I6 40 m without additional circuit
I7, I8 100 m without additional circuit
I9 to I12 40 m without additional circuit
R1 to R12
Always use neon bulbs that are operated with a separate N
connection.
WARNING
Do not use reed relay contacts at I7, I8. These may burn or melt
due to the high inrush current of I7, I8.

2.5.1.4 Increased input current
The following input circuit can be used in order to prevent interference and
also when using two-wire proximity switches:
Figure 15: Increased input current
A resistor can be connected in series with the circuit shown in order to
restrict the inrush current.
Figure 16: Limitation of the input current through resistors
Complete devices for increasing the input current are available under the part
no. EASY256-HCI.
Figure 17: easy with EASY256-HCI
When using a 100 nF capacitor, the drop-out time of the input
increases by 80 (66.6) ms at 50 (60) Hz.
The increased capacitance increases the drop-off time by approx.
40 ms.

2.5.3 Connecting analog inputs
The easy-AB, easy-DA and easy-DC basic units are provided with analog
inputs. Inputs I7 and I8, and if present I11 and I12, can be used to connect
analog voltages ranging from 0 V to 10 V. A simple additional circuit also
allows the analog evaluation of currents from 0 to 20 mA. The analog input
signals are converted to 10-bit digital signals.
The following applies:
0 V DC corresponds to a digital 0.
5 V DC corresponds to a digital value of 512.
10 V DC corresponds to a digital value of 1023.
2.5.3.1 Safety measures with analog signals
Use screened, twisted pair conductors, to stop interference of the
analogue signals.
For short cable lengths, ground the shield at both ends using a large
contact area. If the cable length is more than around 30 m, grounding at
both ends can result in equalization currents between the two grounding
points and thus in the interference of analog signals. In this case, only
ground the cable at one end.
Do not lay signal cables parallel to power cables.
Connect inductive loads to be switched via the easy outputs to a
separate supply voltage, or use a suppressor circuit for motors and
valves. Supplying loads such as motors, solenoid valves or contactors
and easy from the same supply voltage may cause interference of the
analog input signal when switching.

The following four circuits contain examples of applications for analog value
processing.
2.5.3.2 Power supply of -AB devices and analog inputs
With easy-AB devices that process analog signals, the device must be fed via
a transformer so that the device is isolated from the mains supply. The
neutral conductor and the reference potential of the DC power feed of analog
sensors must be electrically connected.
Figure 20: easy-AB analog input, connection of reference potentials
WARNING
Ensure that the reference potential is connected. Connect the
0 V of the power supply unit for the different setpoint
potentiometers and sensors shown in the examples to the 0 V
and neutral conductor terminal (easy-AB) of the easy power
supply. Otherwise incorrect switching states may occur if they
are not connected correctly.
Ensure that the common reference potential is grounded or
monitored by a ground fault monitoring device. Observe the
applicable regulations.

2.5.4 Connecting high-speed counters and frequency generators
High-speed counter signals and frequencies on the easy-DA and easy-DA can
be counted accurately on inputs I1 to I4 independently of the cycle time.
These inputs are permanently assigned to counters.
The following applies:
I1 = C13 high-speed up/down counter
I2 = C14 high-speed up/down counter
I3 = C15 frequency counter
I4 = C16 frequency counter
Pulse shape of count signals:
easy processes square wave signals.
Mark-to-space ratio of count signals:We recommend a mark-to-space ratio of
1:1.
If this is not the case:The minimum pulse or pause duration is 0.5 ms.
tmin = 0.5 x (1/fmax)
tmin = minimum time of the pulse or pause duration
fmax = maximum count frequency (1 kHz)
Figure 26: Connecting high-speed counters and frequency generators
Inputs that are used as high-speed counter inputs should not be
used in the circuit diagram as contacts. If the counter frequency
is high:
Not all the signals of the high-speed counter can be monitored
for processing in the circuit diagram. easy will only process a

46 Operating instructions 05/10 MN05013003Z-EN www.eaton.com
If inductive loads are not suppressed, the following applies:
Several inductive loads should not be switched off simultaneously to
avoid overheating the driver blocks in the worst possible case. If in the
event of an emergency stop the +24 V DC power supply is to be
switched off by means of a contact, and if this would mean switching off
more than one controlled output with an inductive load, then you must
provide suppressor circuits for these loads (see the following diagrams).
Figure 34: Inductive load with suppressor circuit
2.6.3 Behavior in the event of a short-circuit/overload
Should a short circuit or overload occur on a transistor output, this output will
switch off. The output will switch back on up to the maximum temperature
after a cooling time that depends on the ambient temperature and the
current level. If the fault condition persists, the output will keep switching off
and on until the fault is corrected or until the power supply is switched off
(section “6.4 Monitoring of short-circuit/overload with EASY..-D.-T..”,

2.8 Connecting bus systems
The easy-Link connection is designed in such a way that bus modules other
than input/output expansions can also be connected. Special bus modules
(gateways) are available for the relevant bus systems.
At present easy700 can communicate via the following bus systems or
networks:
AS-Interface (Actuator-Sensor Interface)
Profibus-DP
CANopen
DeviceNET
Ethernet gateway.
The functionality of bus systems varies. The following generally applies:
As a minimum data exchange, the input data R1 to R16 and output data
S1 to S8 can be exchanged, provided that the bus system supports this.
If the bus system or bus gateway is capable of this, function block, date,
time parameters can be read and written via the bus. The states of
inputs, outputs, markers can be read.
easy-Link allows the connection of one device (expansion unit or
bus module).
The range and the functions of the bus gateways are being
continually further developed.
Our latest product range or Internet online catalogue contains
the valid and available bus modules.

3.3 operating modes
easy has two operating modes - RUN and STOP.
In RUN mode easy continuously processes a stored circuit diagram until you
select STOP or disconnect the power. The circuit diagram, parameters and
the easy settings are retained in the event of a power failure. All you will
have to do is reset the real-time clock after the back-up time has elapsed.
Circuit diagram entry is only possible in STOP mode.
When a memory card with a circuit diagram is fitted in an easy model with an
LCD display, this circuit diagram will not start automatically if there is circuit
diagram in the device. The circuit diagram must first be transferred from the
memory card to the easy unit.
In RUN mode easy-X models load the circuit diagram on the memory card
automatically and run it immediately.
3.4 Creating your first circuit diagram
The following small circuit diagram takes you step by step through wiring up
your first easy circuit diagram. In this way you will learn all the rules, quickly
enabling you to use easy for your own projects.
As with conventional wiring, you use contacts and relays in the easy circuit
diagram. With easy, however, you no longer have to connect up components
individually. At the push of a few buttons, the easy circuit diagram produces
all the wiring. All you have to do is then connect any switches, sensors,
lamps or contactors you wish to use.
You can change the language setting at a later time,
(Section "5.2 Changing the menu language“, page 167).
If you do not set the language, easy will display this menu and
wait for you to select a language every time you switch on.
WARNING
In RUN mode easy will immediately run the saved circuit
diagram in the unit when the power supply is switched on. This
will happen unless STOP mode was set as startup mode. In
RUN mode outputs are activated according to the switch logic
of the circuit diagram.

You can create a circuit diagram in several ways: The first option is to enter
the elements in the circuit and then to wire all the elements together. The
other option is to use the enhanced operator guidance of easy and create the
circuit diagram in one go, from the first contact through to the last coil.
If you use the first option, you will have to select some of the elements in
order to create and connect up your circuit diagram.
The second, faster option is what you learned in the example. In this case
you create the entire rung from left to right.

4.1.2.1 Opening the parameter display for function relays with contacts or coils
If you specify the contact or coil of a function relay in Entry mode, easy
automatically switches from the contact number to the function relay
parameter display when you press OK.
Press í to switch to the next contact or coil field without entering any
parameters.
4.1.2.2 Program
A program is a sequence of commands which easy executes cyclically in
RUN mode. An easy program consists of the necessary settings for the
device, password, system settings, a circuit diagram and/or function relays.
4.1.2.3 Circuit Diagram
The circuit diagram is that part of the program where the contacts are
connected together. In RUN mode a coil is switched on and off in accordance
with the current flow and the coil function specified.
4.1.2.4 Function Relays
Function relays are program elements with special functions. Example:
timing relays, time switches, counters. Function relays are elements
provided with or without contacts and coils as required. In RUN mode the
function relays are processed according to the circuit diagram and the results
are updated accordingly.
Examples:
Timing relay = function relay with contacts and coils
Time switch = function relay with contacts
4.1.2.5 Relay
Relays are switching devices which are electronically simulated in easy. They
actuate their contacts according to their designated function. A relay consists
of at least one coil and contact.
easy performs many of these cursor movements automatically.
For example, easy switches the cursor to Move mode if no
further entries or connections are possible at the selected
cursor position.

4.1.2.6 Contacts
You modify the power flow with the contacts in the easy circuit diagram.
Contacts such as N/O contacts are set to 1 when they are closed and 0 when
they are opened. Every contact in the easy circuit diagram can be defined as
either an N/O contact or an N/C contact.
4.1.2.7 Coils
Coils are the actuating mechanisms of relays. In RUN mode, the results of
the wiring are sent to the coils, which switch on or off accordingly. Coils can
have seven different coil functions.
Table 6: Usable contacts
Easy works with different contacts, which can be used in any order in the
contact fields of the circuit diagram.

To ensure compatibility with easy400 and easy600 devices,
each easy500 and easy700 is provided logically with all possible
contacts. The switching state is always zero if contacts are not
supported by the device, i.e.
devices without a clock. The contacts (N/O contact) of the
time switches are always set to logic 0.
The advantage of this process is that you can use the same
circuit diagram on all easy500, easy700, easy-AB, easy-AC,
easy-DA and easy-DC devices.

4.1.3 Relays, function relays
easy has nine different types of relay for wiring in a circuit diagram.
You can set the switching behavior of these relays by means of the coil
functions and parameters selected.
The options for setting output and marker relays are listed with the
description of each coil function.
The coil functions and parameters are listed with the description of each
function relay.
In order to ensure compatibility with the easy400 and easy600
devices, each easy500 and easy700 logically supports all relay
types internally. If a relay type is not supported by the device,
the switching state of the contacts is always set to zero, i.e.
devices without a clock. The contacts (N/O contact) of the
time switches are always set to logic 0.
The advantage of this process is that you can use the same
circuit diagram on all easy500, easy700, easy-AB, easy-AC,
easy-DA and easy-DC devices. Furthermore, you can use
outputs that are not physically present as markers.

4.1.3.1 Circuit diagram display
In the easy circuit diagram, contacts and coils are connected up from left to
right - from the contact to the coil. The circuit diagram is created on a hidden
wiring grid containing contact fields, coil fields and rungs. It is then wired up
with connections.
You can add switch contacts in the three contact fields. The first contact
field is automatically connected to the voltage.
You add the relay coil to be controlled together with its function and
designation in the coil field.
Each line in the circuit diagram represents a rung. Up to 128 rungs can
be wired in a circuit diagram.
Connections are used to produce the electrical contact between switch
contacts and the coils. They can be created across several rungs. Each point
of intersection is a connection.

4.2.6.1 Rules for wiring relay coils
To ensure a clear overview of all relay states only assign the same coil
function once to a relay (ä, S, R). However, retentive coil functions such as ä,
S, R can be used several times if required by the circuit diagram logic.
Exception: When using jumps to structure a circuit diagram, this coil function
can also be used effectively several times.

4.2.6.3 Contactor function with negated result (inverse contactor function) Å
The output signal is simply an inversion of the input signal; the relay operates
like a contactor with contacts that have been negated. If the coil is triggered
with the state 1, the coil switches its N/O contacts to the state 0.

4.2.6.4 Falling edge evaluation (cycle pulse) è
This function is used if the coil is only meant to switch on a falling edge. With
a drop-out in the coil state from 1 to 0, the coil switches its N/O contacts to
the 1 state for one cycle.

4.4 Analog value comparator/threshold value switch
easy provides 16 analog comparators A1 to A16 for use as required. These
can also be used as threshold value switches or comparators.
An analog value comparator or threshold value switch enables you to
compare analog input values with a setpoint, the actual value of another
function relay or another analog input. This enables you to implement small
controller tasks such as two-point controllers very easily.
All easy-AB, easy-DA and easy-DC devices are provided with analog inputs.
The analog inputs of the easy500 are I7 and I8.
The analog inputs of the easy700 are I7, I8, I11 and I12

Compatibility with easy400 and easy600
If you are loading an existing easy400 or easy600 circuit
diagram, the existing comparison functions and values are
retained. The analog value comparison function relay works in
easy500 and easy700 and in easy400, easy600. The setpoints
are converted to the new resolution of the analog inputs. The
setpoint 5.0 (easy400, easy600) is converted to the setpoint 512
(easy500, easy700).

4.4.3 Parameter display in RUN mode
Parameter display and parameter set for analog value comparator in RUN
mode with the display of the actual values:
The analog value comparator for easy500 and easy700 operates
internally in the value range:
–2147483648 to +2147483647
This ensures that the correct value is always calculated. This is
important for multiplying values (I1 x F1 or I2 x F2).
Example:
I1 = 9999, F1 = 9999
I1 x F1 = 99980001
The result is within the value range.
If no value is entered at F1 or F2, only the value at I1 and I2 is
used (no multiplication).
If the value of a control relay exceeds the value 9999, the value
of the counter is shown in the display of the analog value
comparator minus 10000.
Example: Counter actual value =10233
Display of the analog value comparator: 233 (10000 is displayed
as 0).

4.4.4 Resolution of the analog inputs
The analog inputs I7, I8, and on the easy700 I11, I12 have the following
resolution.
The analog signal from 0 to 10 V DC is converted to a 10-bit digital value from
0 to 1023. A digital value of 100 represents an analog value of 1.0 V (exactly
0.98 V).

The GT, GE, LT, and LE comparison functions only differ in the
fact that GE and LE also switch when the value is equal to the
setpoint. easy400 and easy800 feature five comparison modes
so that all analog value comparators from easy500 to easy700
are compatible.
WARNING
Analog signals are more sensitive to interference than digital
signals. Consequently, greater care must be taken when laying
and connecting the signal lines.
Set the switching hysteresis to a value so that interference
signals will not cause accidental switching. A value of 0.2 V
(value 20 without gain) must be observed as a safety value.

4.5.0.5 Value range
The counter relay counts between 0 and 32000.
4.5.0.6 Behavior when value range is reached
The easy control relay is in RUN mode.
If the value of 32000 is reached, this value will be retained until the count
direction is changed. If the value of 00000 is reached, this value will be
retained until the count direction is changed.
Parameter display in RUN mode:
4.5.0.7 Retention
Counter relays can be operated with retentive actual values. You can select
the retentive counter relays in the SYSTEM… RETENTION… menu. C5 to
C7, C8 and C13 to C16 can be selected.
If a counter relay is retentive, the actual value is retained when the operating
mode changes from RUN to STOP as well as when the supply voltage is
switched off.
When easy is restarted in RUN mode, the counter relay continues with the
retentively stored actual value.
4.5.0.8 Determining Counter Frequency
The maximum counter frequency depends on the length of the circuit
diagram in easy. The number of contacts, coils and rungs used determines
the run time (cycle time) required to process the easy circuit diagram.
Example: When using EASY512-DC-TC with only three rungs for counting,
resetting and outputting the result via the output, the counter frequency may
be 100 Hz.
The maximum counter frequency depends on the maximum cycle time.
The following formula is used to determine the maximum counter frequency:
fc= maximum counter frequency
tc= maximum cycle time
0.8 = Correction factor

Range A: The relay contact of counter C with setpoint value 6 switches when the actual value is 6.
Range B: If the counting direction is reversed B, the contact is reset when the actual value is 5.
Range C: Without count pulses the current actual value is retained.
Range D: The reset coil resets the counter to 0.
4.5.1.1 Example: counters, counting unit quantities, manual counter value reset
The input I6 contains the necessary counter information and controls the
count coil CC1 of counter 1. Q4 is activated if the setpoint is reached. Q4 is
activated if the setpoint is reached. Q4 remains switched on until I7 resets
counter C1 to zero with the RC1 coil.

100 Operating instructions 05/10 MN05013003Z-EN www.eaton.com
4.6 High-speed counters, -DA, -DC
easy provides various high-speed counter functions. These counter function
blocks are coupled directly to digital inputs. The following functions are
possible:
Frequency counters: C15 and C16
High-speed counters: C13 and C14.
4.6.1 Frequency Counter
easy provides two frequency counters C15 and C16 for use as required. The
frequency counters can be used for measuring frequencies. The high-speed
frequency counters are permanently connected to the digital inputs I3 and I4.
Applications such as speed monitoring, volume measurement using a
volume counter, the monitoring of machine running can be implemented
with the frequency counter.
The frequency counter allows you to enter an upper threshold value as a
comparison value. The C15 and C16 frequency counters are not dependent
on the cycle time.
4.6.1.1 Counter frequency and pulse shape
The maximum counter frequency is 1 kHz.
The minimum counter frequency is 4 Hz.
The signals must be square waves. We recommend a mark-to-space ratio of
1:1.
If this is not the case:
The minimum mark-to-space ratio is 0.5 ms.
tmin = minimum time of the pulse or pause duration
fmax = maximum count frequency (1 kHz)
4.6.1.2 Measuring procedure
The pulses on the input are counted for one second irrespective of the cycle
time, and the frequency is determined. The measurement result is provided
as an actual value.
tmin = 0.5 x 1
fmax
The frequency counters operate independently of the program
cycle time. The result of the actual value setpoint comparison is
only transferred once every program cycle for processing in the
circuit diagram.
The reaction time in relation to the setpoint/actual value
comparison can therefore be up to one cycle in length.

4.6.1.3 Wiring of a frequency counter
The following assignment of the digital inputs apply.
I3 counter input for frequency counter C15.
I4 counter input for frequency counter C16.
You only integrate a frequency counter into your circuit in the form of a
contact and enable coil. The coils and contacts have the following meanings:
4.6.1.4 Parameter display and parameter set for frequency counter:
In the parameter display of a counter relay you change the mode, the
setpoint and the enable of the parameter display.
If you use C15 or C16 as frequency counters, coils DC15 or
DC16 will have no function. The counter signals are transferred
directly from the digital inputs I3 and I4 to the counters. A
frequency counter measures the actual value and does not
measure a direction.

setpoint.
CC15, CC16 Enable of the frequency counter on “1” state, coil activated
RC15, RC16 Reset, coil triggered: actual value reset to 00000
The frequency counter can also be enabled specifically for a
special operating state. This has the advantage that the cycle
time of the device is only burdened with the frequency
measurement when it is taking place. If the frequency counter
is not enabled, the cycle time of the device is shorter.

Range D: The reset coil resets the actual value to zero.
Example: frequency counter
Frequency counters with different switch points.
The frequency measured at input I3 is to be classified in different value
ranges. The analog value comparator is used as an additional comparison
option.
The counter is enabled via the marker N3. The value 900 or higher is
detected by frequency counter C15 as the upper limit value. This triggers the
coil of marker N4.
If the frequency is higher than 600 Hz, analog value comparator A1 indicates
this and triggers marker N5.
If the frequency is higher than 400 Hz, analog value comparator A2 indicates
this and triggers marker N6.
4.6.2 High-speed counters
You can use the high-speed counters to count high frequency signals reliably.
easy provides two high-speed up/down counters C13 and C14 for use as
required. The high-speed counter inputs are permanently connected to the
digital inputs I1 and I2. This counter relay allows you to count events
independently of the cycle time.
The high-speed counters allow you to enter an upper threshold value as a
comparison value. The C13 and C14 high-speed counters are not dependent
on the cycle time.

Example: counting measuring pulses and setting an output
Measuring pulses can represent lengths, rotations, angles or other values.
These program sections are required for applications involving the filling of
sacks, bags or the cutting of foil.
The count signals are continuously present at I1. The high-speed counter C13
counts these pulses. The counter is automatically set to zero if the actual
value equals the setpoint. Contact C13 is then set for one program cycle. The
output Q3 is set at the same time. This is then reset by input I8.
Example: running motors or spindles in parallel.
Applications may involve motion control with the parallel control of two
drives. Only certain deviations are permissible so that the mechanical system
does not jam.
These tasks can be implemented with the following solution.
I8 starts the drives. I7 and I6 carry the feedback signals of the motor
protective circuit breakers. The drives are stopped if a motor protective
circuit breaker trips. The analog value comparators control the difference of
the path distance. The appropriate drive is stopped temporarily if one path
distance is outside of the set tolerance. The following applies:
M8 = enable for all drives.
Q1 = drive 1, counter drive 1 is connected with input I1 and this with
high-speed counter C13.
Q2 = drive 2, counter drive 2 is connected with input I2 and this with
high-speed counter C14.
A1 = comparison, if C13 is less than C14, drive 2 is too fast.
A1 = comparison, if C13 is less than C14, drive 2 is too fast.
A3 = comparison, if C13 and C14 are equal, both drives can be activated.
The hysteresis value of A1, A2 and A3 depends on the resolution of the
transducer and the mechanical system.

4.8 Weekly timer
easy500 and easy700 with type suffix EASY…-…-.C. are provided with a real-
time clock. The time switches can only be used properly in these devices.
easy offers eight weekly timers Ö1 to Ö8 for up to 32 switch times.
Each time switch has four channels which you can use to set four on and off
times. The channels are set via the parameter display.
The timer has a back-up battery. This means that it will continue to run in the
event of a power failure, although the time switch relays will not switch. The
contacts are kept open when de-energized. Information on the battery back-
up time are provided on (Chapter 8 "Appendix“, page 211).
A weekly timer can be integrated into your circuit in the form of a contact.

4.9 Operating Hours Counter
easy provides 4 independent operating hours counters. These operating
hours counters enables you to record the operating hours of systems,
machines and machine parts. An adjustable setpoint can be selected within
the value range. In this way, maintenance times can be logged and reported.
The counter states are retained even when the device is switched off. As
long as the count coil of the operating hours counter is active, easy counts
the hours in second cycles.
You integrate an operating hours counter into your circuit in the form of a
contact and coil.

4.10 Timing Relay
easy provides 16 timing relays T1 to T16 for use as required.
A timing relay is used to change the switch time and the on and off time of a
switch contact. The adjustable delay times are between 2 ms and 99 h 59
min. A time setpoint uses positive values, for example by means of a
constant. You can also use variables as a time setpoint, such as the values of
analog inputs or the actual values of counter relays and timing relays.
You can also use easy as a multi-function relay in the application. easy is
more flexible than any hardwired timing relay since you can wire all the
functions at the push of a button as well as program additional functions.

Variable values as time setpoint (analog inputs I7, I8, I11, I12, actual value T1
to T16, C1 to C16).
4.10.4.1 Variable time setpoints
When using variable values, such as the actual value of a different timing
relay, easy will only accept its output value with the conversion. The time
range selected for this timing relay is ignored.
The following conversion rules apply:
For "s" time base
With the time base “s” the value is accepted as a “value in ms”. The last
position is rounded up to a zero or five.
Equation: Time setpoint = ( Value x 10) in [ms]
Parameters Time range and setpoint time Resolution
S 00.000 Seconds: 0.00 to 99,990 s 10 ms
M:S 00:00 Minutes: Seconds 00:00 to 99:59 1s
H:M 00:00 Hours: Minutes, 00:00 to 99:59 1min.
Minimum time setting:
If a time value is less than the logic relay's cycle time, the
elapsed time will not be recognized until the next cycle. This
may cause unforeseeable switching states.
If the value of the variable is greater than the maximum
permissible value of the configured time range, the maximum
value of the time range will be used as the setpoint.
If you are using analog values as time setpoints, ensure that the
value of the analog input is stable. Oscillating analog values
deteriorate the reproducibility of the time value.
Value, e.g. Analog input Time setpoint in [s]
000.00
100 01.00

For "M:S" time base
With the time base “M:S” the value is accepted as a “value in s”.
Rule:
Time setpoint = Value divided by 60 Integer result = Number of hours,
remainder is the number of minutes
For time base H:M
With the time base “H:M:” the value is accepted as a “value in M

Range F: After the reset coil is activated, the switching contact is switched off and the internal time
counter is reset. The function relay waits for a new trigger pulse.
Retriggering during response delay
If the trigger coil drops out while the on-delay time is running down, the
timing relay stops the on-delay time and resets the actual value t to 0. After
the trigger coil is set again, the entire on-delay time is run down.

Range H: The Reset pulse interrupts the run down of the time and sets the elapsed time to 0.
If the trigger coil is activated again whilst the off-delay time is running down,
the off-delay time is stopped.
Retriggering during the off-delay
In on-delay and off-delay mode, the behavior of the timing relay when it is
retriggered during the off-delay depends on the parameter setting and the
actual value t:
setpoint value I1 reference value I2
If the trigger coil is activated again, the actual time t is stopped. The off-delay
time does not run down until the trigger coil drops out.
Setpoint value I1 < Setpoint value I2
Actual time t < Setpoint value I1
If the trigger coil is actuated again, the actual time t is stopped. The off-delay
time does not run down until the trigger coil drops out.
Actual time t Setpoint value I1
If the trigger coil is actuated again, the actual time t is set to 0. If the trigger
coil subsequently drops out, the set off-delay time is run down again.
This behavior is also the same for on-delay and off-delay modes with random
switching.

Operating instructions 05/10 MN05013003Z-EN www.eaton.com 135
4.11 Jumps
Jumps can be used to optimize the structure of a circuit diagram or to
implement the function of a selector switch. Jumps can be used for example
to select whether manual/automatic operation or other machine programs
are to be set.
You integrate :1 jumps into your circuit in the form of a contact and coil.
Jumps consist of a jump location and a jump label.
4.11.1 Function
If the jump coil is triggered, the rungs after the jump coil are no longer
processed. The states of the coils before the jump will be retained, unless they
are overwritten in rungs that were not missed by the jump. Jumps are always
made forwards, i.e. the jump ends on the first contact with the same number
as that of the coil.
Coil = Jump when 1
Contact only at the first leftmost contact = Jump label
The "Jump label" contact point is always set to “1”.

Backward jumps are not possible with easy due to the way it

If the jump label does not come after the jump coil, the jump will
be made to the end of the circuit diagram. The last rung will also
be skipped.
Multiple use of the same jump coil and jump contact is possible
as long as this is implemented in pairs, i.e.:
Coil Ä:1/jumped range/Contact:1,Coil Ä:1/jumped range/
Contact :1 etc.
CAUTION
If rungs are skipped, the states of the coils are retained. The

easy500 and easy700 with type designation EASY…-..-.C. are fitted with a
real-time clock and thus allow the use of weekly timer and year time switch
function relays.
4.12.1 Function
If you have to implement special on and off switching functions on public
holidays, vacations, company holidays, school holidays and special events,
these can be implemented easily with the year time switch.
easy offers eight year time switches Y1 to Y8 for up to 32 switch times.
For each year time switch four channels A, B, C and D are available.
You can choose an on and off switching time for every channel. These
channels of a year time switch all act jointly on the contact Y that you include
in the circuit diagram. The channels are set via the parameter display or
easySoft.
The year time switch can switch recurrent intervals by switching them on
and off for individual days, months or years. They can also switch
continuous time ranges in which they can be set to stay on at the
beginning of any day to the end of any day, month or year.
Year time switch Y1…Y8 (Year)
Boolean inputs/outputs Parameters
Contact Coil Input value Output value

The procedure for setting the time is described under
Section "5.4 Setting date and time“ on page 170.
The parameters for the switch-on and switch-off times for
recurring intervals are configured in one single channel for each.
The parameters for the switch-on and switch-off times for a
continuous period of time are configured in two neighbouring
channels (A and B or B and C).

Caution - important input rules!
The year time switch only operates correctly if you observe the
following rules:
The On year must be before the Off year,
ON and OFF times must be specified the same in pairs.
Example of entries in pairs:
ON = Day/--/--, OFF = Day/--/--
The ON day should normally have a smaller value than the OFF
day, otherwise the special case applies
(section “ Example 8: Selecting a time range of two days
spanning the turn of the year (2-channel)”, page 145).
ON = --/--/Year, OFF = --/--/Year,
ON = --/Month/Year, OFF = --/Month/Year

contact Y1 in this example:
The time switch switches on at 00:00 on 3 May and stays on until 00:00 on
26 May.
In June, July, August, September, October, the time switch will switch on at
00:00 on day 2 of the month and switch off at 00:00 on day 18.
In November and December, the time switch will switch on at 00:00 on the
second of the month and switch off until 00:00 on the 18th. The following
note explains this switching behavior.
4.13 Master Reset
The master reset function relay enables you to set with one command the
status of the markers and all outputs to “0”. Depending on the operating
mode of this function relay, it is possible to reset the outputs only, or the
markers only, or both. Three function blocks are available.
4.13.0.1 Wiring of the master reset function relay
You integrate a master reset function relay into your circuit in the form of a
contact and coil.
The coils and contacts have the following meanings:
Switching behavior with overlapping channel settings:
If parameterized ranges overlap, the year time switch switches
the contact on with the first detected ON, irrespective of which
channel supplies this ON signal. In the same way, the year time
switch switches the contact off with the first detected OFF,
irrespective of whether another channel still supplies the ON
signal!

4.13.1 Operating modes
The different coils of the master reset have different operating modes:
Z1: For Q outputs: controls outputs Q1 to Q8 and S1 to S8.
Z2: For markers M, N: controls the marker range M1 to M16 and N1 to
N16.
Z3: for outputs and markers: controls Q1 to Q8, S1 to S8, M1 to M16 and
N1 to N16.
4.13.2 Function of the master reset function relay
A rising edge or the "1" signal on the coil will reset the outputs or markers to
"0", depending on the operating mode set. The location of the coil in the
circuit diagram is of no importance. The master reset always has the highest
priority.
The contacts Z1 to Z3 follow the status of their own coil.
4.13.2.1 Example: resetting outputs
All outputs that you have used can be reset to 0 with one command.
A rising edge at the coil of Z1 will cause all Q and S outputs to be reset.
4.13.2.2 Example: resetting markers
All markers that you have used can be reset to 0 with one command.
A rising edge at the coil of Z2 will cause all markers M and N to be reset.
4.13.2.3 Example: resetting outputs and markers
All outputs and markers that you have used can be reset to 0 with one
command.
A rising edge at the coil of Z3 will cause all Q and S outputs and all M and N
markers to be reset.

4.14.9 Self maintaining
A combination of a series and parallel connection is used to wire a latching
circuit.
Latching is established by contact Q1 which is connected in parallel to I1.
When I1 is actuated and reopened, the current flows via contact Q1 until I2 is
actuated.
Table 24: Self maintaining
Latching circuits are used to switch machines on and off. The machine is
switched on at the input terminals via normally open contact S1 and is
switched off via normally closed contact S2.
S2 breaks the connection to the control voltage in order to switch off the
machine. This ensures that the machine can be switched off, even in the
event of a wire break. I2 is always closed when not actuated.
Alternatively the latching circuit can also be set up with the wire break
function using the “Set” and “Reset” coil functions.
Coil Q1 latches if I1 is activated. I2 inverts the break contact signal of S2 and
only switches if S2 is activated in order to disconnect the machine or in the
event of a wire breakage.
Make sure that both coils are wired up in the correct order in the easy circuit
diagram: first wire the S coil and then the R coil. This will ensure that the
machine will be switched off when I2 is actuated, even if I1 is switched on.

4.15.2 4x shift register
You can use a shift register for storing an item of information, such as for the
sorting of parts into good and bad, for two, three or four transport steps
further on.
A shift pulse and the value ("0" or "1") to be shifted are needed for the shift
register.
The shift register's Reset input is used to clear any values that are no longer
needed. The values in the shift register go through the register in the order:
1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th storage location.

M8: Cyclical pulse for shift pulse
Figure 86: easy circuit diagram shift register
4.15.2.1 How does the shift register work?
The shift pulse is activated for exactly one cycle. To do this, the shift pulse is
generated by evaluating the change from I1 OFF to I1 ON – the rising edge.
In this way, therefore, the cyclical processing of easy is used to trigger the
shift pulse.
When I1 is activated for the first time, the marker relay N/C contact M7 is
closed during the first pass through the cycle. Thus, the series connection
consisting of I1, N/C contact M7 (closed) and M8 is activated. Although M7 is
now also activated, this does not yet have any effect on contact M7.
The contact of M8 (N/O contact) was still open during the first cycle so a shift
pulse cannot yet be generated. When the relay coil is activated, easy
transfers the result to the contacts.
In the second cycle N/C contact M7 is open. The series connection is
opened. The contact M8 is activated from the result of the first cycle. Now,
all the storage locations are either set or reset in accordance with the series
connection.

If the relay coils were activated, easy transfers the result to the contacts. M8
is now open again. No new pulse can be formed until I1 has opened, since
M7 is open for as long as I1 is closed.
4.15.2.2 How does the value reach the shift register?
When shift pulse M8 = ON, the state of I2 (VALUE) is transferred to storage
location M1.
If I2 is activated, M1 is set. If I2 is deactivated, M1 is deactivated via break
contact I2.
4.15.2.3 How is the result shifted?
easy activates the coils in accordance with the rung and its result, from top
to bottom. M4 assumes the value of M3 (value 0 or 1) before M3 assumes
the value of M2. M3 assumes the value of M2, M2 the value of M1 and M1
the value of I2.
4.15.2.4 Why are the values not constantly overwritten?
In this example, the coils are controlled only by the S and R functions, i.e. the
values are retained in on or off states even though the coil is not constantly
activated. The state of the coil changes only if the rung up to the coil is
activated. In this circuit, the marker relay is therefore either set or reset. The
rungs of the coils (storage locations) are only activated via M8 for one cycle
time. The result of activating the coils is stored in easy until a new pulse
changes the state of the coils.
4.15.2.5 How are all the storage locations cleared?
When I3 is activated, all the R coils of storage locations M1 to M4 are reset,
i.e. the coils are deactivated. Since the reset was entered at the end of the
circuit diagram, the reset function has priority over the set function.
4.15.2.6 How can the value of a storage location be transferred?
Use the N/O or N/C contact of storage locations M1 to M4 and wire them to
an output relay or in the circuit diagram according to the task required.

4.15.3 Running light
An automatic running light can be created by slightly modifying the shift
register circuit.
One relay is always switched on. It starts at Q1, runs through to Q4 and then
starts again at Q1.
The marker relays for storage locations M1 to M4 are replaced by relays Q1
to Q4.
The shift pulse I1 has been automated by the flasher relay T1. The cycle
pulse M8 remains as it is.
On the first pass, the value is switched on once by N/C contact M9. If Q1 is
set, M9 is switched on. Once Q4 (the last storage location) has been
switched on, the value is passed back to Q1.
Try changing the times.

The operating hours counters are always retentive. The actual values can
only be reset by means of a special reset operation from the circuit diagram.
The retentive actual values are retained if:
a new program with an activated retentive range is loaded from easySoft
or the memory card to the control relay.
the program in the control relay is deleted via easySoft.
5.9.4 Transferring retentive behavior
The setting for retentive behavior is a circuit diagram setting; in other words,

6.1 circuit diagram cycle
In conventional control systems, a relay or contactor control processes all the
rungs in parallel. The speed with which a contactor switches in this case
depends on the components used, and ranges from 15 to 40 ms for relay
pick-up and drop-out.
With easy the circuit diagram is processed with a microprocessor that
simulates the contacts and relays of the circuit concerned and thus
processes all switching operations considerably faster. Depending on its
size, the easy circuit diagram is processed cyclically every 2 to 40 ms.
During this time, easy passes through five segments in succession.
6.1.0.1 How evaluates the circuit diagram:
In the first three segments easy evaluates the contact fields in
succession.As it does so, easy also checks whether the contacts are
connected in parallel or series and stores the switching states of all the
contact fields.
In the fourth segment, easy assigns the new switching states to all the coils
in one pass.
The fifth segment is outside the circuit diagram and easy uses it to establish
contact to the “outside world”: The output relays Q1 to Q… are switched
and inputs I1 to I… are read again. easy also copies all the new switching
states to the status image register.
easy only uses this status image for one cycle. This ensures that each rung is
evaluated with the same switching states for one cycle, even if the input
signals at I1 to I12, for example, change their status several times within a
cycle.

6.1.0.2 Evaluation in the circuit diagram and high-speed counter functions
When using high-speed counter functions, the signal state is continuously
counted or measured irrespective of the processing of the circuit diagram.
(C13, C14 high-speed up/down counters, C15, C16 frequency counters)
6.1.1 operation and effects on circuit diagram creation
easy evaluates the circuit diagram in these five segments in succession. You
should therefore remember two points when you create your circuit
diagrams:
The changeover of a relay coil does not change the switching state of an
associated contact until the next cycle starts.
Always wire forwards, upwards or downwards. Never wire backwards.
6.1.1.1 Example: switching in the next cycle
Start condition:
I1, I2 switched on
Q1 switched off.
This is the circuit diagram of a self-latching circuit. If I1 and I2 are closed, the
switching state of relay coil ÄQ1 is latched via contact Q1.
1st cycle: Inputs I1 and I2 are switched on. Coil ÄQ1 picks up.
Contact Q1 remains switched off since easy evaluates from left to right.
2nd cycle: The self-latching function now becomes active. easy has
transferred the coil states to contact Q1 at the end of the first cycle.
6.1.1.2 Example: Do not wire backwards
The following example shows why you should not wire backwards.
In the third rung, easy finds a connection to the second rung in which the
first contact field is empty. The output relay is not switched.
When wiring more than three contacts in series, use one of the marker
relays.

6.2 Delay times for inputs and outputs
The time from reading the inputs and outputs to switching contacts in the
circuit diagram can be set in easy via the delay time.
This function is useful, for example, in order to ensure a clean switching
signal despite contact bounce.
Figure 91: easy input assigned with a switch
easy-DC, easy-DA, easy-AB and easy-AC units function with different input
voltages and therefore also have different evaluation characteristics and
delay times.
6.2.1 Delay times with -DA and -DC basic units
The delay time for DC signals is 20 ms.
Figure 92: Delay times of easy-DC and easy-DA basic units
An input signal S1 must therefore be 15 V or 8 V (easy-DA) for at least 20 ms
on the input terminal before the switch contact will change from "0" to "1"
(range A). If applicable, this time must also include the cycle time (range B)
since easy does not detect the signal until the start of a cycle.
The same time delay (range C) applies when the signal drops out from 1 to 0.
If the debounce is switched off, easy responds to an input signal after just
0.25 ms.

If the debounce is switched on, easy checks at 40 ms (33 ms) intervals
whether there is a half-wave present at an input terminal (1st and 2nd pulses
in A). If easy detects two pulses in succession, the device switches on the
corresponding input internally.
If this is not the case, the input is switched off again as soon as easy does
not detect two successive half-waves (1st and 2nd pulses in B).

If a button or switch bounces (A), the delay time may be extended by 40 ms
(33 ms) (A).
If the debounce delay is switched off, the delay time is reduced:

easy switches the contact as soon as it detects a pulse (A). If no pulse is
detected, easy switches off the contact (B).
6.2.3 Delay times for the analog inputs of -AB, -DA and -DC
The analog input values are read at 1 ms intervals. The values are
continuously smoothed so that the analog values do not fluctuate
excessively and remain clean. At the start of the circuit diagram cycle, the
currently available analog values that have been smoothed are provided for
processing in the circuit diagram.
The procedure for changing the delay times is described in on

6.3 Monitoring of the functionality of the basic unit
easy continuously checks its functionality by means of a system test and by
means of various timeout watchdogs.
Table 34: Times of the timeout watchdogs
6.4 Monitoring of short-circuit/overload with EASY..-D.-T..
Depending on the type of easy in use, it is possible to use the internal inputs
I15 and I16, R15, R16 to monitor for short-circuits or overloads on an output.
EASY512-…-T…:
I16 = Group fault alarm for outputs Q1 to Q4.
EASY721.-..-T..:
I16 = Group fault alarm for outputs Q1 to Q4.
I15 = Group fault signal for outputs Q5 to Q8.
EASY620-D.-TE:
R16 = Group fault alarm for outputs S1 to S4.
R15 = Group fault signal for outputs S5 to S8.
Table 35: Status of error outputs
The following examples are for I16 = Q1 to Q4. I15 indicates in the same
way short-circuits and overloads on Q5 to Q8.
6.4.0.1 Example 1: Output with fault indication
The circuit diagram functions as follows:
If a transistor output indicates a fault, M16 is set by I16. The N/C contact of
M16 switches off the output Q1. M16 can be cleared by resetting the easy
supply voltage.
6.4.0.2 Example 2: Output of operating state
The circuit functions as described in Example 1. An additional feature is that
when an overload is detected, the indicator light at Q4 is actuated. If Q4 has
an overload, it would 'pulse'.

The circuit diagram functions in the same way as Example 2. In addition the
marker M16 is reset every 60 seconds by timing relay T8 (on-delayed, 60 s).
Should I16 remain at 1, M16 will continue to be set. Q1 is set briefly to 1 until
I16 switches off again.
6.5 700 expanding
You can expand easy700 with EASY410-DC-.E, EASY618-..-RE, EASY202-RE
or EASY620-D.-TE modules locally or use the EASY200-EASY coupling
module for remote expansion.
For this first install the units and connect the inputs and outputs
(Chapter 2 "Installation“, page 25).
You process the inputs of the expansion devices as contacts in the easy
circuit diagram in the same way as you process the inputs of the basic unit.
The input contacts are assigned the operand identifiers R1 to R12.
R15 and R16 are the group fault alarms of the transistor expansion unit
(Section "6.4 Monitoring of short-circuit/overload with EASY..-D.-T..“,
page 192).
The outputs are processed as relay coils or contacts in the same way as
outputs in the basic unit. The output relays are called S1 to S8.
The following bus modules can also be connected:
EASY205-ASI (AS-Interface),
EASY204-DP (Profibus DP),
EASY221-CO (CAN open) or
EASY222-DN (Device NET).
These modules offer considerably more functions than simple I/O expansion
modules. Depending on type, all the data of the program can be read and
setpoints can be written. The functions of the individual devices are
described in the relevant documentation.

6.5.2 Transfer behavior
The input and output data of the expansion units is transferred serially in both
directions. Take into account the modified reaction times of the inputs and
outputs of the expansion units:
6.5.2.1 Input and output reaction times of expansion units
The debounce setting has no effect on the expansion unit.
Transfer times for input and output signals:
Central expansion
Time for inputs R1 to R12: 30 ms + 1 cycle time
Time for outputs S1 to S6 (S8): 15 ms + 1 cycle
Remote expansion
Time for inputs R1 to R12: 80 ms + 1 cycle time
Time for outputs S1 to S6 (S8): 40 ms + 1 cycle
6.5.3 Function monitoring of expansion units
If the power supply of the expansion unit is not present, no connection can
be established between it and basic unit. The expansion inputs R1 to R12,
R15, R16 are incorrectly processed in the basic unit and show status 0. It
cannot be assured that the outputs S1 to S8 are transferred to the expansion
unit.
The state of internal input I14 of the basic unit indicates the state of the
expansion device:
I14 = “0”: expansion unit is functional
I14 = “1”: expansion unit is not functional
DANGER
Ensure the continuous monitoring of easy expansion devices
in order to prevent switching faults in machines or systems.
When the power supply is switched on, basic units and
expansion devices may require different power up times to
reach full functionality. If the basic device is powered up faster,
the internal monitoring input I14 will have status I14 = "1“,
indicating that an expansion device is not functional.

Example
The expansion unit may be powered up later than the basic unit. This means
that the basic unit is switched to RUN when an expansion unit is missing.
The following easy circuit diagram detects if the expansion unit is functional
or not functional.
As long as I14 is 1, the remaining circuit diagram is skipped. If I14 is 0, the
circuit diagram is processed. If the expansion unit drops out for any reason,
the circuit diagram is skipped. M1 detects whether the circuit diagram was
processed for at least one cycle after the power supply is switched on. If the
circuit diagram is skipped, all the outputs retain their previous state. The next
example should be used if this is not desired.

easySoft-Pro programming software allows you to transfer circuit diagrams
from the PC to the easy device or vice versa. You can also switch the device
to RUN mode from easySoft in order to test the program in the actual wiring.
To transfer data between the PC and easy500/700 devices, only
use the original programming cable supplied as an accessory:
EASY-PC-CAB or
EASY-USB-CAB
DANGER
There is a danger of electric shock on easy AC devices if the L
phase conductor and N neutral conductor are reversed.
For your safety:
Use of this original programming cable ensures that the PC
terminal is electrically isolated from the connection voltage
of the L phase conductor (100 to 240 V AC) if the phase
conductor and neutral conductor are reversed. The original
programming cables are optocoupled.
easy cannot exchange data with the PC while the circuit
diagram display is on screen.

If there are transmission problems, easy will display the INVALID PROG
message.
Check whether the circuit diagram is suitable for the destination device.
Figure 101: Removing the EASY-PC-CAB
After transmission, remove the cable and close the interface.
6.8.2 Soft help
easySoft is provided with an extensive Online Help.
Start easySoft-Basic or easySoft-Pro and click the ? menu item in order to
open the Help.
The help provides all the additional information about easySoft that you will
need.
INVALID PROG
If the operating voltage fails during communication with the PC,
repeat the last step. It is possible that not all the data was
transferred between the PC and easy.

6.9 with a remote display and operator unit
easy500/700 devices can be operated with a remote display and operator
unit. In this configuration, all the display information is transferred via the
serial multi-function interface.
This has the advantage that easy can be operated remotely. The texts in easy
are backlit and displayed on the front of the operator or control panel in twice
the size. The display/operating unit provides protection to IP65.
If a display/operating unit with a keypad is used, easy can be programmed
and assigned parameters from “outside”.
The MFD-80 (IP65 display unit), MFD-80-B (IP65 display/operating unit) with
the MFD-CP4-500 power supply/communication unit are currently available
for use as stand-alone display/operating units.
6.10 Device version
Every easy has the device version number printed on the left of the device
housing. The device version is indicated by the first two digits of the device
number.
Figure 102: Example of device version
This device is of device version 01.
The device version provides useful service information about the hardware
version and the version of the operating system. The device version is
important for selecting the correct control relay for EASY-SOFT-BASIC.
Card mode operation is not possible when using a stand-alone
display/operating unit. The interface can only be used once.
The MFD-CP4 communication unit establishes permanent
communication with the easy control relay. This increases
easy's cycle time, and must be taken into account during
engineering.

You may sometimes find that easy does not do exactly what you expect. If
this happens, read through the following notes which are intended to help
you solve some of the problems you may encounter.
You can use the power flow display in easy to check the logic operations in
the easy circuit diagram with reference to the switching states of contacts
and relays.
Only qualified persons should test easy voltages while the device is in

Analog input The device easy-AB, easy-DA and easy-DC are provided with the two
(easy500) and four (easy700) analog inputs I7, I8 and I11,I12. The input
voltages are between 0 V and 10 V. The measuring data is evaluated with the
integrated function relays.
Output You can connect various loads to the four easy outputs, such as contactors,
lamps or and motors. In the easy circuit diagram the outputs are controlled via
the corresponding output relay coils Q1 to Q8 or S1 to S8.
Operator buttons easy has eight operating buttons. These are used to select menu functions and
create circuit diagrams. The large round button in the middle is used to move
the cursor.
DEL, ALT, ESC and OK all perform additional functions.
Operating Mode easy has two operating modes: RUN and STOP. RUN mode is used to process
your circuit diagram (with the controller running continuously). In STOP mode
you can create your circuit diagrams.
Remote expansion I/O expansion with the expansion unit (e.g. EASY620-DC-TE) installed up to
30 m away from the basic unit. The EASY200-EASY coupling unit is fitted to
the basic unit. The input and output data is exchanged between expansion and
basic unit via a two-wire cable.
Entry mode Entry mode is used to input or modify values. when creating circuit diagrams or
setting parameters, for example.
Input The inputs are used to connect up external contacts. In the circuit diagram,
inputs are evaluated via contacts I1 to I12 and R1 to R12.
easy-AB, easy-DA and easy-DC can also receive analog data via the inputs I7,
I8 and I11, I 12.
Function Relays Function relays can be used for complex control tasks. easy features the
following function relays:
Timing relay,
Week time switch,
Year time-switch,
Counter, up/down, high-speed, frequency,
Analog value comparator/threshold value switch,

Contact behavior The contact behavior of any circuit element can be defined as either a break
contact or a make contact. Break contact elements are identified by a line
above the identifier (Exception: jump).
Retentive data See Retention.
Parameters Parameters enable the user to set the behavior of function relays. The relevant
parameters apply for switch times or counter setpoints. They are set in the
parameter display.

228 Operating instructions 05/10 MN05013003Z-EN www.eaton.com
P Buttons The P buttons can be used to simulate four additional inputs which are
controlled directly by the four cursor buttons, rather than via external contacts.
The switch contacts of P buttons are connected up in the circuit diagram.
Retention Data is retained even after the easy relay power supply is switched off.
(retentive data)
The following data is retentive:
easy circuit diagram,
Parameters, setpoint values,
Texts,

Actual values of marker relays, timing relays, counters (selectable).
Circuit diagram
elements
As in conventional wiring, the circuit diagram is made up of circuit elements.
These include input, output and marker relays, plus function relays and P
buttons.
Interface The serial multifunction interface is used to exchange and save circuit
diagrams to a memory card or PC.
Each memory card contains one circuit diagram and its associated easy
settings.
The programming software easySoft-Basic or
easySoft -Pro programming software enables easy to be controlled from the
PC. Which is connected using the easy-PC-CAB programming cable or
EASY-USB-CAB.
Power supply easy-AB is supplied with an 24 V AC supply. The terminals are labeled with "L"
and "N".
easy-AC is powered by AC voltage at 85 to 264 V AC, 50/60 Hz. The terminals
are labeled with "L" and "N".
easy-DA is powered by DC voltage at 12 V DC. The terminals are labeled
“+12 V” and “0 V”.
easy-DC is powered by DC voltage at 24 V DC. The terminals are labeled
“+24 V” and “0 V”.
The terminals for the power feed are the first three terminals on the input side.
Memory card The memory card is used to store your easy circuit diagram, together with its
parameter and easy settings. The data on the memory card will be retained,
even if the power supply fails or is switched off.
The memory card is inserted into the interface slot on the easy device.
Rung Each line in the circuit diagram is a rung. easy500 and easy700 can take
128 rungs.
