Page 371: Pw - Pulse Width Modulation
PW function modules are used primarily to drive easyE4 devices with transistor outputs. However, PW function blocks can also be used with easyE4 devices featuring relay outputs. Due to the relay's ON and OFF times, a longer period duration and a longer minimum on duration should be selected than for easyE4 devices with tran- sistor outputs.
Page 372 0.1 ms. These times are determined by the electronics to a very large extent. For easyE4 device relay outputs and for con- tactor control systems, a minimum on duration of 300 ms is recommended. Manipulated variable SV The value range from 0 to 4095 of the manipulated variable SV corresponds to 0 to 100% of the period duration.
Page 373 Because of this, the minimum on duration must be as short as possible and the period duration as long as possible so that PD/ME will be as large as possible.

Page 710 It was designed specifically with the needs of straightforward transfers between easyE4 devices in mind. Within a NET, every device has read access to the NET operands of any other device in its group. In addition to this, data can be trans- ferred both cyclically and acyclically.
Page 711 10. easyE4 communication Connection to other devices 10.12 Setting up a NET group All easyE4 base devices feature an Ethernet port that can be simultaneously used for all communications, e.g., web server, Modbus TCP, e-mail, and programming the easyE4. In order to be able to run a NET group, there must be an Ethernet connection between the devices or device and PC.
Page 712 A total of ten NET groups (groups 1 through 10) can be run on a single Ethernet net- work at one time. This is the equivalent of a maximum of 80 easyE4 base devices that can communicate with each other.

Page 717 The web server is intended to make it even more convenient for users to use an easyE4 control relay. This web server makes it possible to use a web client (i.e., a web browser) to access the device as though it were being accessed directly on the easyE4 base device.

Page 755 The easy communication modules need to be connected to the left side of the easyE4, while an I/O expansion for easyE4 control relays is connected to the right side. The easy communication modules for easyE4 control relays are configured in easySoft 8.
Page 756 With SWD, the I/O level is integrated directly into the switchgear. This means that easyE4 can obtain direct access to the digital and analog data from com- mand devices up to power switches via SWD. This dispenses with the gateway and the I/O level. This enables users to create flexible automation solutions with fewer components and less engineering overhead.

Page 779 Each Modbus TCP client and Modbus TCP server knows the Modbus TCP map in order to be able to exchange data for communication. easyE4 exchanges the data by using function codes to assign all the values for the request(s) to easyE4 base device operands.
Page 780 Modbus TCP Client Only available on firmware version 1.30 or higher. If a Modbus TCP server module is connected to an easyE4 base device on the work pane by dragging and dropping it there, the easyE4 base device will automatically become a Modbus TCP client.

Page 783 This is where the IP address of the Modbus TCP server is set. The default setting is: 0.0.0.0. The IP address must have the same network as the Modbus TCP client (the easyE4 base device). Please refer to → "Basic information on assigning IP addresses", page 117 as well. easyE4 02/24 MN050009EN Eaton.com...
Page 784 For cyclical data transfers, this indicates how long should be waited for an answer from the Modbus server or slave. Value range is 1000…10000 ms. The default is 3000 ms. This time can be set in increments of 10 ms. If that time is exceeded, easyE4 assumes that communication has been interrupted.
Page 785 Older devices still use this address range and will interpret the transmitted address with an offset of +1. On newer devices, such as easyE4 devices, addresses start from start address 0 instead. If you want to configure Modbus communications with a Modbus server/slave for the easyE4 base device and the corresponding addresses start from start address 0, then the Auto-decrement on all addresses option must be disabled.
Page 786 As a Modbus TCP client, easyE4 will send the request to the selected Modbus TCP server module. The selected function code will determine whether easyE4 reads or writes, whether it will do so for one or more elements, and whether easyE4 02/24 MN050009EN Eaton.com...

Meanwhile, the Modbus TCP server module I/O points will be written to the server's Modbus TCP map starting with the start address.
Page 788 The update rate should not be too low so as to ensure that the Modbus TCP server's communication load will not become excessive. Please note that the actual real-life time intervals may deviate from the setting depending on the easyE4 base device's load.
