Eaton easyE4 DC 6AE1P PLC Expansion Module, 6 Digital Inputs, 4 Relay Outputs, 1 Analog Input, 12/24 V DC, DIN Rail 197516

Automation engineers integrating additional I/O into an Eaton easyE4 control relay system can use the EASY-E4-DC-6AE1P expansion module. It provides six digital inputs, one configurable analog input, and four relay outputs, all powered by 12/24 V DC and mounted on a standard 35 mm DIN rail.

Key specifications

• Supply voltage: 12/24 V DC
• Digital inputs: 6 (PNP/NPN configurable)
• Analog input: 1 (0-10 V, 0-20 mA, 4-20 mA configurable)
• Relay outputs: 4 (normally open, 8 A resistive load per relay)
• Mounting: DIN rail (35 mm)
• Operating temperature: -25 to +55 °C
• Protection rating: IP20 (front), IP00 (terminals)
• Power consumption: 2.5 W
• Terminal type: Screw terminals
• Compatibility: Eaton easyE4 control relays

Why choose it

This module expands the I/O capacity of your easyE4 system without replacing the base unit. The analog input supports voltage and current signals, making it suitable for sensors and transmitters. Relay outputs handle loads up to 8 A, allowing direct control of contactors, valves, or small motors.

Ideal use cases

• Adding digital inputs for pushbuttons, limit switches, or proximity sensors
• Connecting analog sensors for temperature, pressure, or level monitoring
• Switching AC or DC loads via relay outputs in building automation or machine control
• Retrofitting existing easyE4 installations with extra I/O points

Good to know

The module connects directly to the easyE4 expansion bus. No separate power supply is needed for the logic; it draws power from the bus. Screw terminals ensure secure wiring in industrial environments.
