New easyParameter app for controlling easy800 smart relays
Eaton is launching the easyParameter app for its easy800 control relay, which is said to make the operation of machinery and plant simpler and more convenient. Available on Android smartphones and tablets, the new easyParameter App enables machine and plant manufacturers to control the smart relays wirelessly via Bluetooth. The ability to tailor user interfaces helps to improve operational visibility and simplifies plant control for users, thereby contributing to a reduction in operator errors and an increase in availability. The easyParameter App is available in English, German, French, Dutch, Italian, Polish and Spanish, and can be downloaded for free at play.google.com by searching for 'easy800'.
Using the app, the creator of the operator interface can define exactly which parameters can be read and modified directly from the smartphone/tablet. These include date, time, actual and setpoint values for function blocks, annual and weekly timer, and the status of marker bits. Input and output states can also be read. Additionally, different access rights to the machine or plant can also be created for specific user interfaces. All easy800 control relays are equipped with a Bluetooth adapter that enables users to control and operate several machines efficiently with a smartphone/tablet from up to 10m away. Each Bluetooth adapter has a unique address and an eight-digit PIN that serves as the security code for communicating with the smartphone, which prevents unauthorised access.
The download and installation process for the easyParameter app is also simple, with step by step instructions available from www.eaton.eu/easy on how to download the app and corresponding Excel file. A user manual is also available for more information if needed.
