EATON startkit PLC EASY-BOX-E4-DC1 24 V/DC (EASY-BOX-E4-DC1)

The EATON EASY-BOX-E4-DC1 starter kit bundles a ready-to-run PLC with the easySoft 7 programming software and USB cable, so you can commission a 24 V DC control system without sourcing extra parts. Unlike bare controllers, this kit includes the EASY-E4-DC1-12RC1 module with an integrated LCD display and real-time clock, making it suitable for small automation tasks that need local status readout and time-based logic.

Highlights

• Complete starter kit: PLC module, easySoft 7 software, and USB programming cable
• Integrated LCD display (4 lines x 16 characters) for on-site diagnostics and parameter viewing
• Real-time clock for time-dependent control functions
• 8 digital inputs (24 V DC) and 4 relay outputs (8 A) for versatile switching
• DIN rail mounting for quick installation in control cabinets

In daily use

The EASY-E4-DC1-12RC1 executes programs stored in its 256 function block / 1000 ladder line memory. You can create and transfer logic via the included easySoft 7 software over USB. The front panel display shows I/O states and system messages, reducing the need for a separate HMI in simple applications. Relay outputs switch up to 8 A, allowing direct control of contactors, valves, or small motors.
