I
Before commencing the installation
• Disconnect the power supply of the device.
• Ensure that devices cannot be accidentally
restarted.
• Verify isolation from the supply.
• Earth and short circuit.
• Cover or enclose neighbouring units that
are live.
• Follow the engineering instructions (AWA)
of the device concerned.
• Only suitably qualified personnel in
accordance with EN 50110-1/-2
(VDE 0105 Part 100) may work on this
device/system.
• Before installation and before touching
the device ensure that you are free of
electrostatic charge.
• The functional earth (FE) must be
connected to the protective earth (PE) or
to the potential equalisation. The system
installer is responsible for implementing
this connection.
• Connecting cables and signal lines should
be installed so that inductive or capacitive
interference does not impair the
automation functions.
• Install automation devices and related
operating elements in such a way that they
are well protected against unintentional
operation.
• Suitable safety hardware and software
measures should be implemented for the
I/O interface so that a line or wire breakage
on the signal side does not result in
undefined states in the automation
devices.
• Ensure a reliable electrical isolation of the
low voltage for the 24 volt supply. Only
use power supply units complying with
IEC 60364-4-41 (VDE 0100 Part 410) or
HD 384.4.41 S2.
• Deviations of the mains voltage from the
rated value must not exceed the tolerance
limits given in the specifications, otherwise
this may cause malfunction and dangerous
operation.
•Emergencystopdevices complying with
IEC/EN 60204-1 must be effective in all
operating modes of the automation
devices. Unlatching the emergency-stop
devices must not cause restart.
• Devices that are designed for mounting in
housings or control cabinets must only be
operated and controlled after they have
been installed with the housing closed.
Desktop or portable units must only be
operated and controlled in enclosed
housings.
Moeller GmbH Safety instructions
Danger!
Dangerous electrical voltage!

II
• Measures should be taken to ensure the
proper restart of programs interrupted
after a voltage dip or failure. This should
not cause dangerous operating states even
for a short time. If necessary, emergency-
stop devices should be implemented.
• Wherever faults in the automation system
may cause damage to persons or property,
external measures must be implemented to
ensure a safe operating state in the event
of a fault or malfunction (for example, by
means of separate limit switches,
mechanical interlocks etc.).

Introduction
This manual describes how to install, commission and
program the CAN digital modules EC4E-221-6D4T1 and
EC4E-221-6D4R1.
A specialist knowledge of electrical engineering is needed
for commissioning. When controlling active components
such as motors or pressure cylinders, parts of the system can
be damaged and persons put at risk if the CAN digital
modules are connected or programmed incorrectly.
Device designation
Reading conventions In this manual he following symbols are used and have the
following meanings:

1 EC4E Module
Task The EC4E modules are remote expansion devices for the
Moeller PLCs EC4P, XC100, XC121, XC200 and MFD4 or
other CANopen masters. They feature six digital inputs and
four digital outputs for 24 V signals. The devices can now
also be connected through the CANopen bus system. They
also offer local expansion possibilities.

Figure 2: Connecting an expansion module to the EC4E module
EC4E in a CANopen
network
The EC4E module is used together with expansion devices in
a network. The communication protocol is CANopen
(according to ISO 11898). The EC4E module is integrated in a
CANopen environment with a standardized EDS (Electronic
Data Sheet) file.
EDS files
For the various possible combinations of EC4E and
expansion unit corresponding EDS files are available
depending on the expansion unit. These are listed in the
table below.

Baud rate (data transfer speed)
The EC4E module automatically detects the baud rate. The
maximum baud rate is 500 kbit/s.
Bus termination resistor
The bus ends are fitted with bus termination resistors with
120 ohms each. On the EC4E module the bus termination
resistor is enabled with DIP switch 1 on the device’s
underside.
hFor cable lengths above about 1000 m repeaters are
needed.

3 Installation
The EC4E-card must only be installed and wired up by
qualified electricians or other persons familiar with the
installation of electrical equipment.
The EC4E module is installed in the following order:
• Mounting,
• Wiring up the inputs,
• Wiring up the outputs,
• CAN-connect/separate to/from network
• Connecting the power supply.
Mounting Install the EC4E module in a control panel, distribution board
or other enclosure so that the power feed and terminal
connections cannot accidentally come into contact during
operation.
Snap-fit the EC4E module onto a DIN EN 50022 mounting
rail or secure it with fastening brackets. You can fit the EC4E
module vertically or horizontally.
jDanger of electric shock!
Always disconnect the power supply before performing
any electrical work on the device.
Always follow the safety rules:
• Switch off and isolate
• Verify isolation from the supply
• Secure against reclosing
• Short-circuit and ground
• Cover adjacent live parts.
hIf you are using the EC4E module with an expansion unit,
connect the expansion unit before fitting the module. See
figure in section „Connecting the expansion device“.
