Device avoids redundant contactors
CMDs monitor the state of the contactor's main contacts and compare this with the voltage applied to the coil.
Switch range suits safety applications
Moeller Electric T rotary switches and P switch disconnectors are suitable for use as main, maintenance and emergency-stop switches that can be locked in the off position with up to three padlocks.
With a control circuit memory up to three times larger than the previous units, the range of potential applications is now significantly wider.
The new models also offer 16 function blocks for features such as time relays, counters or analogue comparators.
Combined with this increased memory and increased functionality is a processing speed four times faster than their predecessor.
Where operator information is required on the front of the control panel, the Easy500 and 700 may be connected to the revolutionary MFD display using the new CP4 interface, offering a true IP65 panel display.
To record machine or system operating, service and downtime intervals, the new models feature four integrated 'operating hours' counters.
These cannot be accidentally reset, even after a new program is downloaded.
They can only be deleted by intentionally resetting.
All programs, such as the circuit diagram complete with associated function blocks and all remnant parameters and data, are stored in a supply failure-proof EEPROM.
Power supply options for 100 to 240V AC or 24V DC are available; the latter either as relay or transistor outputs.
The new models also cover two additional voltage ranges Easy500 and Easy700 models are available for 24V AC and 12V DC.
Control outputs are available either as transistor or 8A relay versions.
Operators can also choose from one of 12 selectable menu languages: English, German, French, Italian and Spanish, plus Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Polish, Czech, Hungarian and Turkish.
Customers will benefit from improved price/performance as the units offer more performance at the same cost.
In addition, all existing circuit configurations for previous models can be transferred and used with these new units without any changes, as the new Easy generation is fully compatible.
