The function blocks provide you with several functions such as arithmetic

functions, value comparison functions or up/down counting. All function

blocks provided are listed in alphabetical order in the Appendix on page 516.

The cross-references provide links to detailed descriptions of these function

blocks.

If you wish to wire an MFD via your PC, i.e. create a circuit diagram, use the

easySoft-Pro programming software.

easySoft-Pro also allows you to:

• test your circuit diagram by simulating the power flow (offline test).

• create your visualization device (exclusively with easySoft-Pro),

consisting of screens and their association with the circuit diagram.

• transfer a program consisting of circuit diagram and visualization to a

connected and operational MFD-CP8…/CP10….

• after the transfer, follow the power flow and view the operand states

after the transfer during operation (online test)

• print out and thus fully document your circuit diagram in different formats

(e.g. DIN; ANSI or easy format).

Overview of functions

• PID controllers

• Integrated display and operating elements.

With MFD-CP8…/CP10… you can create solutions for domestic applications

as well as for tasks in machinery and plant construction. MFD-CP8…/CP10…

is a modular and flexible device.

The integrated easyNet network makes it possible to connect up to eight

NET stations to a PLC. All devices with a NET terminal connection can be

used as NET stations. At present these devices consist of easy800/MFD

CP8…/CP10…, easySafety devices or type XC200/EC4-200 PLCs.

Each Net station can process its own circuit diagram and a visualization

application. This allows the design of systems using high-speed controllers

with decentralized intelligence.

With easy you can create a circuit diagram in ladder diagram. The circuit

diagram entry can be carried out directly on the device using the operator

buttons or on your PC using the easySoft-Pro programming software.

For example, you can:

• Connect N/O and N/C contacts in series and in parallel

• Connect output relays and markers.

• Define outputs as coils, impulse relays, rising or falling edge-triggered

relays or as latching relays.

Think differently about programmable relays

Three families make up the easy relay product line: easy500. easy700 and easy800 PLCs.

They offer more than thirty-five styles that support from 12 I/O up to a network

of up to 320 I/O points, providing the ideal solution for lighting, energy management,

industrial control, irrigation, pump control, HVAC and home automation.

Front panel programming allows for seamless customization, eliminating the need to

change wiring and minimizing downtime.

Safety manual

The Eaton safety manual provides an overview of the relevant directives, standards and

regulations and the most important requirements that need to be met when using protective

devices in machinery applications. Based on example circuits, the manual shows how functional

safety can be implemented in safety applications by means of electrical, electronic and

programmable components and systems.

Integrating functional safety in machines

Functional safety is an essential part of the design process for machines because it is key

to protecting the wellbeing of the machine operator and keeping production up and running.

To ensure functional safety, the latest guidelines have to be applied – design guidelines with

standardized and accepted circuits can help to notably reduce implementation efforts.

Comprehensive networking options

Thanks to the integrated easyNet interface, the easySafety control relay can be

comprehensively expanded by adding additional devices. By networking the easySafety

devices with a standard ‘easy’ control relay, it is possible to add additional non-safe inputs

and outputs. For the standard ‘easy’ control relay, Profibus-DP, CANopen, DeviceNet or

AS-Interface communication modules are available, alongside a wide range of products

and accessories which can also be used to network the easySafety devices.

Fast and easy configuration

The easySoft-Safety configuration software makes it easy to create both safety applications

and control tasks. The ‘easy’ device programming language is used for operation and configuration,

which can be carried out directly on the device via the integrated display and keyboard.

The memory card can also be used to transfer data to the easySafety devices.

• Machines that are tamper-proof: safety applications are protected against tampering or accidental

contact

• Protection of know-how: undesired transfers of application know-how can be prevented

• Flexible operation: standard applications and a wide range of diagnostic options can be safely

configured at any time

Safety for people and machines

In machine production, a wide range of safety-related components such as

position switches or emergency-stop buttons are used to ensure the safety

of people and machinery. The easySafety control relay simplifies the monitoring

and evaluation of safety-related signals by means of dedicated safety function blocks.

The latter offer comprehensive operating and diagnostic options.

The safety function blocks include, among others:

• Emergency stop

• Monitoring of movable guards

• Safe operation with two-hand control

• Monitoring of electro-sensitive protective equipment

• Standstill and maximum-speed monitoring

The easySafety devices ensure the necessary levels of personal and

process safety, both in simple and in more complex systems.

The easySafety control relay from Eaton’s Moeller series combines both

safety and control functions in one device. The devices stand out for

their ease of use and their intuitive operation. The individual functions

can be combined with one another and provide rapid fault diagnostics

for machine and system components.

The easySafety control relay can be configured directly on the device

or via a computer by means of the easySoft-Safety software.

In addition to the safety circuit diagram, the devices also offer a circuit

diagram for standard tasks, such as the processing of diagnostic messages.

The available safety function blocks open up additional application possibilities.

AWS Cloud Application

The easyE4 control relay comes with a direct connection to Amazon Web Services (AWS),

one of the world‘s most widely used cloud platforms. This means that the information

stored on any number of easyE4 devices can be safely transferred to the cloud in compliance

with the latest cybersecurity standards. Once it is in the cloud, it can then be aggregated

to monitor processes, integrate features such as artificial intelligence or generate automated commands.

The connection takes place via MQTT, a lightweight messaging protocol. By securely transferring

data to the cloud, users can leverage AWS services such as data storage, analysis and visualization.

This enables the implementation of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, from remote monitoring to machine

learning.

More flexibility with less components

The easyE4 base devices and input/output expansion modules are available with DC,

AC and UC (universal) voltage, which makes the devices ideal for use in machine

building or building applications. By means of up to 11 expansion modules, the base

devices can be expanded to max. 188 inputs/outputs. All the expansions can be mixed

and combined as required. Thanks to the clever plug-in technology, the expansion

modules can be quickly connected or replaced.
