: A shorter reference for quick installation and electrical specifications. Core Programming Guide The EASY512 uses a simplified Ladder Diagram (LD)
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:
- Insert a function block (F1).
- Choose T (timer).
- Select T-ON (ON-delay).
- Assign T01 as the number.
- Set time base: s (seconds) or ms.
- Set preset: 5 (seconds).
- Connect the trigger (I1) to the timer input.
- 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
- Apply 230V AC to L and N.
- 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)
- Press ESC to enter the main menu.
