Troubleshooting
Module does not power on
Verify that the power supply voltage is within the specified range (100-240 V AC / 110-220 V DC) and that the connections are secure. Check fuses or circuit breakers in the power supply circuit.
Ethernet connection is not established
Ensure the CAT5 Ethernet cable is properly connected to the module and the network. Check network configuration (IP address, subnet mask) and verify network switch functionality. Test with a different cable.
Digital inputs are not registering
Confirm that the input signals are within the module's voltage specifications and that the wiring is correct. Check the status of the connected sensors or switches.
Digital outputs are not activating
Verify that the output load does not exceed the 8 A switching current limit. Ensure the logic program is correctly commanding the output to turn on. Check wiring to the connected device.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Mounting: The module can be mounted vertically or horizontally on a standard 35 mm DIN rail (IEC/EN 60715). Alternatively, use mounting brackets (ZB4-101-GF1, sold separately) for screw mounting.
- Wiring: Connect power supply within the specified voltage range (100-240 V AC / 110-220 V DC). Wire digital inputs and outputs to the screw terminals, ensuring correct polarity and compliance with current ratings (8 A switching current).
- Networking: Connect the Ethernet port to your network using a CAT5 Ethernet cable. Configure IP settings as required for your network.
- Programming: Use the Eaton EASY-E4 software to program the logic functions. Connect the module to your programming device via Ethernet.
Compatibility:
- Power: Compatible with 100-240 V AC and 110-220 V DC power supplies (note cULus DC voltage limitations).
- Networking: Supports 10/100 MBit/s Ethernet (CAT5 cable recommended).
- Mounting: Fits standard 35 mm DIN rails.
Care:
- Keep the module clean by wiping with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents.
- Ensure proper ventilation around the module to prevent overheating. Ambient temperature should not exceed +55 °C.
- Periodically check all wiring connections for tightness and signs of wear.
