Warning!
Dangerous electrical voltage!
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.
Moeller GmbH
Safety instructions
I
• 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, emergencystop 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.).

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 feed
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 starting up of easy should not cause any hazards
arising from controlled devices, such as unexpected motor
startups or power ups.

j easy700 basic unit
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.
Circuit diagrams are connected up using ladder diagrams,
and each element is entered directly via the easy display. For
example, you can:
• Connect make and break contacts in series and in parallel
• Connect output relays and markers,
• 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, 7-day time switches,
EASY…-..-.C(X),
• Track the flow of current in the circuit diagram
• Load, save and password-protect circuit diagrams

Connecting the power supply
Applies to easy-AC devices with a power supply
greater than 24 V AC:
• The voltage terminals for phase L and neutral conductor
N have been reversed.
• This enables the easy interface (for memory card or PC
connection) to have the full connection voltage of the
phase conductor (100 to 240 V AC).
• There is a danger of electric shock if the connection at
the easy interface is not properly connected or if
conductive objects are inserted into the socket.
Attention!
A short current surge will be produced when switching on
for the first time. Do not switch on easy by means of reed
contacts since these may burn or melt.

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.
Always use neon bulbs that are operated with a separate
N connection.
Caution!
Do not use reed relay contacts at I7, I8. These may burn or
melt due to the high inrush current of I7, 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.
Therefore, use inputs I7 and I8. An additional input circuit is
required if more inputs are used.

Connecting easy DC 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.
46
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.

i
Connecting the inputs
Caution!
Analog signals are more sensitive to interference than
digital signals. Consequently, greater care must be taken
when laying and connecting the signal lines.
Incorrect switching states may occur if they are not
connected correctly.
Safety measures with analog signals
X Use shielded twisted pair cables to prevent interference
with the analog signals.
X For short cable lengths, ground the shield at both ends
using a large contact area. If the cable length exceeds
30 m or so, grounding at both ends can result in
equalisation currents between the two grounding points
and thus in the interference of analog signals. In this case,
only ground the cable at one end.
X Do not lay signal lines parallel to power cables.
X Connect inductive loads to be switched via the easy
outputs to a separate power feed, or use a suppressor
circuit for motors and valves. If loads such as motors,
solenoid valves or contactors are operated with easy via
the same power feed, switching may result in interference
on the analog input signals.
i
The following four circuits contain examples of applications
for analog value processing.
Caution!
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 feed. Otherwise incorrect switching states may
occur if they are not connected correctly.
47
Installation
05/04 AWB2528-1508GB
Power supply of easy-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.
h
Ensure that the common reference potential is grounded
or monitored by a ground fault monitoring device. Observe
the requirements of the relevant regulations.

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

Behaviour with short-circuit/overload
Should a short circuit or overload occur on a transistor
output, this output will switch off. The output will switch on
up to maximum temperature after the cooling time has
elapsed. This time depends on the ambient temperature and
the current involved. 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

(isolation always in local connection of expansion unit)
• Basic isolation 400 V AC (+10 %)
• Safe isolation 240 V AC (+10 %)
Units may be destroyed if the value 400 V AC +10 % is
exceeded, and may cause the malfunction of the entire

Basic unit and expansion unit can be provided with
different DC power supplies.
Remote expansion
Remote expansion units can be installed and run up to 30 m
away from the basic unit.
Warning!
The two-wire or multi-core cable between units must have
the necessary insulation voltage required for the
installation environment concerned. In the event of a fault
(ground leakage, short-circuit) serious damage or injury to
persons may otherwise occur.
A cable such as NYM-0 with a rated operational voltage of
U

Only one device (expansion device or bus connection) can
be connected to the EASY-LINK connection.
At present, easy700 can communicate with the following
bus systems or networks:
• AS-Interface (Actuator-Sensor Interface)
•Profibus-DP
•CANopen
• DeviceNET
The different bus systems offer different functions.
The following 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.
The range and the functions of the bus gateways are being
continually further developed.

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.

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.
05/04 AWB2528-1508GB
Operation of easy
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.
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
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 a coil
and a contact.
Contacts
You modify the current flow with the contacts in the easy
circuit diagram. Contacts such as make contacts carry a 1
signal when closed and 0 when open. Every contact in the
easy circuit diagram can be defined as either a make contact
or a break contact.
77
Wiring with easy
05/04 AWB2528-1508GB
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.

easy works with different contacts, which can be used in any
order in the contact fields of the circuit diagram.
h
To ensure compatibility with easy400 and easy600
devices, each easy500 and easy700 is provided logically
with all possible contacts. If contacts are not supported by
the device, i.e. devices without a clock, their switching
state is always zero. The contacts (make 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, easyAC, easy-DA and easy-DC devices.

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.
Easy adds the first energized contact field automatically.
• You add the relay coil to be controlled together with its
function and designation in the coil field.
• Every line in the circuit diagram forms a rung. Up to 128
rungs can be wired in a circuit diagram.

The circuit diagram display performs two functions:
• In STOP mode it is used to edit the circuit diagram.
• In RUN mode it is used to check the circuit diagram
using the Power flow display.
Saving and loading circuit diagrams
There are two ways of saving circuit diagrams in easy
externally:
• By saving to a memory card
• By saving to a PC running EASY-SOFT-BASIC.
Once they have been saved, programs can be reloaded into
easy, edited and run.
All circuit diagram data is saved in easy. In the event of a
power failure the data will be retained until the next time it
is overwritten or deleted.
Memory card
Each EASY-M-32K memory card contains a circuit diagram
which is inserted into the easy interface. The program is
stored retentively on the memory card.
82
The way the memory card works and a description of how to
transfer a program to the card is given in section “Memory
card” on page 248.
h
EASY-M-8K memory cards of easy400 devices can be read
in easy500. EASY-M-8K memory cards of easy400 devices
and easy600 EASY-M16K memory cards can be read in
easy700.
Write operations from easy500 and easy700 are only
possible to the EASY-M32K memory card.
EASY-SOFT-BASIC
EASY-SOFT-BASIC is a PC program with which you can
create, store, test (simulate) and manage easy circuit
diagrams.
05/04 AWB2528-1508GB
Working with contacts and
relays
Completed circuit diagrams are transferred between your PC
and easy via the connecting cable. Once you have
transferred a circuit diagram, simply run easy straight from
your PC.
Details on the program and transferring circuit diagrams are
given in section “EASY-SOFT-BASIC” from page 252.

The buttons are wired in the circuit diagram as contacts P1

P3
System menu.
The P buttons can also be used for testing circuits or manual
operation. These button functions are also useful for
servicing and commissioning purposes.
Example 1:
A lamp at output relay Q1 is switched on and off via inputs
I1 and I2 or using cursor buttons
Í Ú.
Example 2
Terminal I1 is used to control output relay Q1. Terminal I5
switches to Cursor button mode and deactivates rung I1 via
M
1.
The P buttons are only detected as switches in the Status
menu. The cursor buttons are used for other functions in
the menus, the power flow display and in the text display.
The Status menu display shows whether the P buttons are
used in the circuit diagram.

X Complete the small parallel connection and switch easy to
RUN mode via the main menu.
X Return to the circuit diagram display.
You are now unable to edit the circuit diagram.
If you switch to the circuit diagram display and are unable
to modify a circuit diagram, first check whether easy is in
STOP mode.
The circuit diagram display performs two functions
depending on the mode:
• STOP: Creation of the circuit diagram
• RUN: Power flow display
X Switch on I3.
In the power flow display, energized connections are thicker
than non-energized connections.
You can follow energized connections across all rungs by
scrolling the display up and down.
The power flow display will not show signal fluctuations in
the millisecond range. This is due to the inherent delay
factor of LCD displays.

expansion unit is connected. The only difference between
them and the output relay Q is that they have no output
terminals.

The coil functions Ä, Å, è, È, (contactor, contactor
negated, cycle pulse negative, rising edge) must only be
used once for each relay coil. The last coil in the circuit
diagram determines the status of the relay.
When controlling a contactor or relay, the control coil is
only present once. If you are creating parallel circuits, use
Set, Reset as a coil function.
Rules for wiring relay coils
To ensure a clear overview of all relay states only assign the
same coil function once to a relay (
retentive coil functions such as
ä, S, R). However,
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.
Relay with contactor function
Ä
The output signal follows immediately after the input signal
and the relay acts as a contactor.

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 1 state, the coil
switches its make contacts to the 0 state.

Falling edge evaluation (cycle pulse) è
This function is used if the coil is only meant to switch on a
falling edge. With a change in the coil state from 1 to 0, the
coil switches its make contacts to the 1 state for one cycle.
