Control relays offer more functionality
Providing trouble free switching and control, even in the most severe environments, control relays deliver more functionality and offer a large number of inputs/outputs.
Following on from the success of its existing range of Easy control relays, Moeller has expanded the series with the addition of the Easy 800 relay The Easy 800 relay provides even more capability including network functionality but retains the Easy range's simplicity in terms of programming thus negating the need for training

Switch-mode power supplies are versatile
Moeller Electric's new SN3 switch-mode power supplies are versatile, convenient and cost-effective for automation applications.
Up to eight control relays can communicate with one another via this interface at a distance of up to 1000m, irrespective of whether the individual device is processing its own program or being used merely as a remote input/output module.
Moreover each Easy 800 device can be locally expanded through an Easy link interface.
This enables the units to be used in automation applications that require between 12 to 300 I/O points.
Via a PC connected to the controller's interface the entire network can be monitored.
A wide choice of communication modules allows the relays to be connected to a host of fieldbus networks including Profibus DP, CAN and AS-i.
With the Easy 800's twelve inputs, six relay or eight transistor outputs, users can implement complex control tasks.
Furthermore to implement circuit diagram configurations, 256 lines of control circuits are available giving users plenty of space for applications and subsequent modifications or extensions.
As a fully-featured member of the Easy family the Easy 800 benefits from a real time clock, offers the installer space savings and counts high speed signals.
The wiring diagram is clearly shown on the unit's four line LCD, now capable of displaying 32 different user-specific texts with two variables, for each of which 64 characters are available.
This allows detailed information such as alarms, temperatures, and timer/counter values to be displayed, enabling users to quickly check important parameters and system status.
Designed for use globally users have the choice of ten different languages including English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese.
With the Easy Soft version 4 software for Windows 95/98 and NT, the user can input circuit diagrams via the simple drag and drop circuit configuration.
The built in off line simulation function allows the user to test the circuit functions properly before commissioning without the module being connected.
Thanks to an operating temperature ranging from -25degC to +55degC the Easy 800 provides trouble free switching and control even in the most severe environments.
