Eaton is launching a new entry-level HMI for the easyE4 mini-PLC: the RTD Advanced. This 'Advanced' version allows users to create powerful personalized visualizations. Own text, graphics and controls can also be imported and timer function blocks edited. It is a cost-effective HMI that offers flexible and fast visualization options of all kinds. The RTD Advanced is an ideal extension of the popular easyE4 control relay or mini-PLC.

Key features:

- Ability to use graphics et al. simple visualization elements
- Simultaneous visualization of multiple easyE4 devices
- Visualizations programmed with easySoft software, transferred via Ethernet or USB
- Remote access to menus of connected easyE4 devices
- Editable Timer Function Blocks
- Use of personalized visualizations

Easy operation & commissioning

The RTD Advanced is a turnkey device that can be easily connected to the latest easyE4. This is done via a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable. The HMI is based on the latest version of Eaton's easySoft software (version 8.10) and is easy to operate thanks to a modern user interface. Programming knowledge is not required.

Mirror function & remote access

The RTD Advanced can mirror the display and keypad of one or more easyE4 mini-PLCs. In addition, the RTD Advanced can display data from multiple easyE4 devices and does not require switching between mirroring one mini-PLC at a time. The new RTD also provides remote access to the menus of connected easyE4 devices. To prevent unauthorized access to the visualization interface, up to three different users can be set up and managed.

65,000 colors, 13 languages

The full-color screen of the compact 4.3 " display reproduces the screen and controls of the easyE4. It offers more than 65,000 colors to display text, values, parameters and even graphics. The RTD menu is available in 13 different languages.

Assembly

The RTD Advanced can be mounted decentrally or in the door of the control cabinet, making it particularly useful in environments where access to the cabinet is difficult or restricted for safety reasons.
