DANGER!
Dangerous ElectricalVoltage!
Before starting with the installation
l Installationrequires qualified electrician
l Disconnectthe power supply of the device.
l Secure against retriggering
l Verify isolationfrom thesupply
l Groundandshort-circuit
l Cover or enclose any
neighboringlive parts.
l Follow the engineering instructions (IL) of the device
concerned.
l Only suitably qualified personnel inaccordance with
EN 50110-1/-2 (VDE 0105 part 100) may work on this
device/system.
l Beforeinstallationandbeforetouchingthe device
ensure that you are freeof electrostatic charge.
l Thefunctional earth (FE) must be connected tothe
protective earth (PE) or to theequipotential bonding.
Thesystem installer is responsiblefor implementing
this connection.
l Connectingcables andsignallines should be
installed so that inductive or capacitive interference
does not impair the automation functions.
l Installautomation devices and relatedoperatingele-
ments in sucha way thatthey are wellprotected
against unintentionaloperation.
l Suitablesafety hardware and software measures
shouldbe implemented for the I/O interfaceso that a
lineor wire breakageon the signal sidedoes not result in undefinedstates in the automation devices.
l Deviations of the mains voltage from the nominal
value must not exceed the tolerancelimits given in
the specifications, otherwise this may result in malfunctionandhazardous states.
l Emergency-Stop devices complying with IEC/EN
60204-1 must be effective inall operatingmodes of
the automation devices. Unlatching the emergency
stop devices must notresult inan automatic restart.
l Built-in devices for enclosures or cabinets must only
be run and operated in an installed state; desktop
devices andportable devices only whenthe housing
is closed.
l Measures shouldbe taken toensure the proper
restartingof programs interruptedafter a voltage dip
or outage. This should not result indangerous operating states even for a short time. If necessary, emergency stop devices should be implemented.
l Wherever faults in the automation system may
cause damage topersons or property, externalmeasures must be implemented toensure asafe operating statein the event ofa fault or malfunction (for
example,by means of separate limit switches, mechanicalinterlocks, etc.).

0.1 About this manual
All the information in this manual has been prepared tothe best of our knowledgeand in
accordancewith thestate of the art. However, this does notexcludethe possibility of
therebeing errors or inaccuracies. We assume noliability for thecorrectness andcompleteness of this information. Inparticular, this informationdoes not guarantee any particular properties.
Do not use the easyE4 before reading and understanding this manual.
It is assumed that the user of this manual is thoroughly familiar with the information
found in the manuals for incorporatingthe controlrelay into automation processes.
Hazards posed by the controlrelay cannot beruledout if thesafety instructions arenot
observed –especially if thecontrol relay is installedand commissioned by inadequately
qualified personnel or if it is usedimproperly. Eaton assumes no liability for any damages resultingfrom cases suchas these.
Theuse of sample programs andof theeasySoft 7 programming softwareis subject to
the following instructions andrules ofuse:
1. The program examples provided were createdto the best of our knowledgeand
belief andin accordance withthe currentstate-of-the-art. The program
examples provided were created to thebest of our knowledgeandbelief and in
accordancewith thecurrentstate-of-the-art. However, errors cannot betotally
excluded,andthe example programs do not cover allfunctionblocks and applications thatare available for thecontrol relays.
2. Electrical engineering skills and know-how are required in order tobe ableto program and commission controlrelays. An incorrectly wiredor incorrectly configured control relay will pose aproperty damagerisk and aninjury hazard when
active components such as motors and pressure cylinders are being driven.
3. When using the providedsample programs andgenerating aprogram with
SWDeasySoft 7, the user has the soleresponsibility to observe the following:
l All relevant rules andpractices for preparing circuit diagrams for the circuit
relays as specifiedin the latest documents for these relays.
l All occupational health and safety andaccident preventiondirectives, stand-
ards, and regulations applicable tothe commissioning,circuit diagram creation for, and use of the control relays for your plannedapplication, in
particular those imposedbyemployers' liability insurance associations
(Berufsgenossenschaften).
l Acknowledgedrule of technology andstate ofscience.
l All other general due diligence regarding the prevention of damages tolife
andphysical conditionof persons as well as materialdamage.

easyE4 base devices combinethe functions of a controlrelay and an input device inone
singleunit
TheEthernet port makes it possible to integratethe base device into a network.
This allows thedesignof systems using high-speed controllers with decentralized intel-
ligence.
There is ladder diagram languageversion called easy Device Programming (EDP) that
you can use to put together acircuit diagram on the device.
In the case ofdevices witha display, you can enter the program as a circuitdiagram directly on the deviceby using the corresponding buttons. Youcanalso program it on your
computer with the easySoft 7 programming software program (this optioncan also be
used for base devices without a display).
For example,you can:
l ConnectN/O and N/C contacts inseries andin parallel
l Connectoutput relays and markers.
l Define outputs as coils, impulse relays, rising
or falling edge-triggered relays or as latching relays.
l ...
Youcan use the function blocks to run arithmeticfunctions, comparevalues, count up,
count down, etc. All thefunctionblocks available are provided in a list

TheeasyE4 series makes it possible to combine multiplevoltagevariants. Each easyE4
base devicecan be wiredwith up to 11 EASY-E4-...-...E1 expansions withdifferent
power supplies.
1.11.0.1 Length of input cables
Severe interference can cause asignal 1 on theinputs withouta proper signal being
applied. Observe therefore the following maximum cablelengths:
Base device inputs I1–I6
l 40 m for AC supply voltages; 100 m for DC supply voltages
Base device inputs I7–I8
l 100 m for AC supply voltages; 100 m for DC supply voltages
Expansion device inputs
l 40 m for AC supply voltages; 100 m for DC supply voltages
In addition, thefollowingapplies to base devices andexpansion devices:
With longer cables, connect a diode (e.g.1N4007) with aminimum reverse voltage of1
kV anda let-through current of 1 A in series to the device inputs. Ensure that the diode
is pointing tothe input; otherwise the device will not be able to detect the 1 state.

2.2 Unpacking and checking the equipment supplied
Check the easyE4's packaging for transit damage.
Carefully remove the packaging in order toavoid damaging the device.
Check the packagecontents for visibletransit damage.
Use the information in Installation instructions to make surethat the contents are
complete.
Keepthe original packagingso that youwill beableto use it in the
futureif you needto transport or ship the device.
Make sure to also keepthe documents enclosedwith thedevice
and/or togive them to the end customer.

place over themounting rail's lower lip.
4. Remove the endcover from thebase deviceand store it ina safe place.
5. Connect thebase deviceto theexpansion using the connector.
Mounting additional expansions (optional)
1. Position the expansiondeviceagainst themounting rail's upper lip inan inclined
position tothe right of theprevious expansion.
2. Slide the expansion until it is restingflush against the previous expansion.
3. Lightly push the device down and against the mountingrail until it snaps into
place over themounting rail's lower lip.
4. Connect theexpansions to eachother usingthe connector.
5. Repeatfor alladditional expansions –up to11 EASY-E4-...-...E1
Finishing up the process
1. Take thebase device's endcover and install it on the right sideof the last expansion.
There willbe the following electricalisolation at the localexpansionconnection

2. Installation
2.5 External connections
Every easyE4 base device features an Ethernet port.
This Ethernet port is aCat 5 port.
Make sure to use compatiblestandard RJ45 Ethernet cables only.
TheEthernet port on the base device serves as a communication interface.
TheEthernet controllers support transfer rates of 10Mbit/s and 100Mbit/s.
Figure 32: RJ-45 socket, 8-pole
If you integratethe EASY-E4-...into an Ethernet network, you
will needto connect the functional earth to thecorresponding
terminal.
To commission the communications between the EASY-E4-... controlrelay and the
deviceto which the Ethernet cable is connected, follow the description for theconnected device.
