language. You can program it directly on the unit using the LCD and pushbuttons or via a PC. 1. On-Device Navigation The unit has 4 main buttons ( DEL, ALT, ESC, OK ) and a cursor disk: 3 times from the power-up screen to enter the program area. Control Parts Adding Elements : Use the cursor to move to a blank spot. Press to add an input (e.g., ) and move to the far right to add an output coil (e.g., Control Parts moeller easy512-ac-rc programming manual

to toggle the line-drawing tool, then use the cursor arrows to "wire" inputs to coils. Control Parts button to remove specific elements or entire circuit rungs. 2. Available Functions Inputs/Outputs : 8 digital inputs (I1–I8) and 4 relay outputs (Q1–Q4). Internal Relays (Markers) : 16 internal "M" relays for complex logic. Timers and Counters

: 8 timers (T) and 8 counters (C). Parameters like delay time or preset values are set in the Real-Time Clock : Set the system time and day under to use time-based triggers. Control Parts Wiring and Electrical Setup Power Supply : L and N terminals require Acotron Electrónica Industrial : Inputs I1–I8 respond to 230V AC signals. Proximity Switch Tip

: For AC inductive proximity switches, use inputs 7 or 8 as they draw higher current, or use a 2k ohm "pulldown" resistor. Control Parts

: Relay contacts are volt-free switches that can handle up to 8A. Acotron Electrónica Industrial Software Option Klockner Moeller EASY 512 Programming Instructions Moeller EASY512-AC-RC is a 230V AC programmable control

The easy500 series is a smart relay (also called a "compact controller" or "programmable logic relay"). The easy512-AC-RC is a specific model with:

  • Power supply: 100–240V AC
  • I/O: 8 inputs (AC), 4 relay outputs
  • Expansion: Expandable up to 40 I/O
  • Programming: On-device via keypad/LCD or via PC software (easySoft)

Note: The original Moeller brand was acquired by Eaton. The current official manual is MN05002002Z (or easySoft help files). This guide synthesizes the core programming manual content.


easySoft Shortcuts

  • Ctrl + N: New network (rung)
  • Ctrl + B: Insert function block
  • F3: Compile program
  • F6: Transfer to device

7.1 Backup Your Program

Always keep a copy of your .e60 or .e70 file. To upload from easy512 to PC:

  • easySoft: Transfer → Upload from device.
  • Save as "PROJECT_BACKUP_DATE.e60".

3.1 Timers (T Functions)

The easy512 supports ON-delay, OFF-delay, Pulse, and Flashing timers. Power supply: 100–240V AC I/O: 8 inputs (AC),

Example: ON-delay timer

  • When I1 closes, start timer T01.
  • After 5 seconds, energize Q1.

Programming:

  1. Insert a function block (F1).
  2. Choose T (timer).
  3. Select T-ON (ON-delay).
  4. Assign T01 as the number.
  5. Set time base: s (seconds) or ms.
  6. Set preset: 5 (seconds).
  7. Connect the trigger (I1) to the timer input.
  8. Connect the timer output (T01) to Q1.

4. Programming with easySoft (PC Software)

easySoft (free from Eaton) is the recommended way for complex programs.

1.4 First Power-Up Procedure

  1. Apply 230V AC to L and N.
  2. The display lights up showing:
    • Run/Stop status (typically "Stop" initially)
    • Battery status (if real-time clock option is present – not standard on all easy512)
    • Input/Output status (blinking "I" and "Q" indicators)
  3. Press ESC to enter the main menu.
