The Eaton Easy E4 Programmable Logic Controller's Simple Beauty

 Understanding the system management value of the Eaton Easy E4 as a variable frequency drive means understanding what comes with the equipment package.

Built for Making Things Easy, Not Difficult

Eaton’s products already come with intuitive design and ease of use as priorities for product success. This same philosophy transfers to the Easy E4, which admirably lives up to its namesake. As a result, the unit makes for a very flexible controller that can be applied to HVAC systems, lighting, energy management, landscape and irrigation control, pump and valve control, and even consumer home automation control. There’s no question that the Easy E4 can be applied to various systems; the challenge for most folks will be finding an electronically managed system with which the Eaton Easy E4 cannot be connected and integrated. 

Kicking Progress Forward Proactively

A key problem in the past with logic controllers was that they, more often than not, were static in design. They worked one way and only one way with very little in the way of flexibility. While this created a large market of different variations all over the place, it also created a lot of confusion over the years. Once programmable logic controllers became a possibility, Eaton made a point to make them available through its product line and make programmable logic controllers extremely easy to use and configure, another big leap forward for system managers and facility technicians. The result seen in the Easy E4 practically speaks for itself with a wide range of internal flexibility by configuration and a matching design for physical adaption to existing system formats.
