1 Device application
The controllers of the EC4-200 series are programmable switching
and control devices. They can be used in domestic applications,
machine building and plant construction. An EC4-200 controller
can be used as a stand-alone controller or connected to remote
input/output devices via the CANopen interface. This interface also
allows you to communicate with other PLCs (with a CANopen
interface).
The EC4P-222-... controller types have an additional Ethernet
interface.
From version 2.0 of the operating system the controllers have the
following features:
• Connection of expansion devices/controllers via easyLink
• Connection of the MFD-CP4 multi-function display via the
multi-function interface
• Transparent mode via the multi-function interface
• Direct access to local I/O and the high-speed counters
• Integration in the easyNet network via the easyNet/
CAN interface
Controllers from version 2.10 can be connected to the ASI,
PROFIBUS-DP, CAN or DeviceNet networks with suitable network
interfaces.
The controller is programmed with the easySoft CoDeSys
programming software. This software should be installed on a
standard PC with the Windows NT, 2000 or XP operating system.
Further information on the software is provided in the manual for
the programming software (MN05010003Z-EN; previously
AWB2700-1437GB).
This software provides you with a simple entry in the IEC
programming languages such as:
• Instruction List (IL)
• Function Block Diagram (FBD)
• Ladder Diagram (LD)
• Structured Text (ST)
• Sequential Function Chart (SFC).
This provides a large number of operators such as:
• Logic operators such as AND, OR, …
• Arithmetic operators such as ADD, MUL, …
• Comparison operators such as <,=, >
You use the programming software to create, test and document
a project. Functions for analog processing, closed-loop control and
function blocks such as timers, counters simplify programming.
