easyControl supports CoDeSys programming
Fourth Quarter 2007
Other technologies
The expanded and upgraded EC4P controller range further closes the gap between control relays and programmable logic controllers (PLCs), delivering an array of user benefits and functions that go beyond the usual EN61131-3 requirements. easyControl incorporates a wide range of I/O modules and network interfaces to fieldbus systems such as Profibus, AS-Interface, DeviceNet and CANopen, and can also be connected to Ethernet without the use of converters.
The range is now fully programmable in a number of languages using CoDeSys easy Soft software. Languages include Instruction List, Ladder Diagram, Function Block Diagram, Sequential Function Chart and Structured Text.
Moeller's new powerful easyControl series links the well-established and simple easy concept with the benefits of standard programming to EN61131-3. The CoDeSys programming system provides functions that go far beyond the standard requirements of EN61131-3. The freely definable function block chart (CFC) language is provided as an additional programming language. Options for simulating the user program, the integrated fieldbus configurator, powerful test and commissioning functions and integrated visualisation tool ensure that application requirements can be implemented rapidly and simply
