For rough environments, when replacing EA9, why is EZ7 with detachable display with metal housing NEMA 4x Class I Div II, a much better choice?

 

EA9 is at the End of Life 2025 or when ADC runs out of stock

Supply Chain, Uncertain Prices, Uncertain Delivery. Tariffs could be as high as 55%. Worst total decoupling, no availability of any automation controls made in China.

 

Detachable Hot Swappable Metal Front NEMA 4x Class 1 Div 2 as a great replacement for EA9.

Front with display and touch screen can be hot swapped in less than 2 min and requires no change, no wiring or programming. Minimizing downtime, also can be mounted on a pendant 20ft away.

HMI communication end of EZ7 continues to communicate to the connected PLC even when the display/touch screen goes out which can be hot swapped in <2 mins.

 

EZ7 Detachable Metal Front (NEMA 4x Class 1 Div 2) not only reduces your down-time dramatically, it is a much more rugged construction for a stable touch screen and display as compared to plastic housing of EA9.

EZ7 mounts in the same hole as EA9.

EZ7 is a drop-in replacement for EA9, it can be mounted using the same cut-out as EA9 but with an addition of a mounting interface plate.

Why EZ7 is a much better drop-in replacement for EA9?

  • EA9 C-More Made in China was a copy of EZTouch with the same mechanical dimensions and similar programming software. Hence EZ7 is a drop-in replacement.
  • EZ7 is a much more rugged construction with detachable and hot swappable metal front which can also be mounted up to 20 ft. away in a pendant.
  • EZ7 is Made in America and has no supply chain or tariff issues.
  • EZ7 has stable price and same day delivery.
  • EZ7 soon will have much brighter screen and higher resolution than EA9.
  • EZ7 has a complete line of 7”, 8”, 10’, 12” and 15” full size screens.
  • EZ7 boot up time is 3 times faster than CM5 alternative offered by AutomationDirect.
  • EZAutoomtion offers FREE program conversion in <3 days for select customers (check with the Factory).

 


 

Additional Unique Features:


Feature 1 Image

Patented HMI On-Line Edit to change or edit screen objects live on the fly without turning the machine off. Great Feature to avoid having to replace the entire HMI if only a repeat button that’s in constant use goes out.

Feature 2 Image

MiniWiFi addition will prevent floor production interruptions, make edits 50ft away. C-More takes 20-60 minutes for edits.

Feature 3 Image

OEM Utility – For those OEMs or SIs particular about protecting their IP, they could upgrade their HMIs in the field through use of an OEM Utility, which when connected to the HMI upgrades the project without needing programming software. The end user does not see the project file developed by the OEM or SI

Feature 4 Image

Unique Visibility tag prevents objets from cluttering. All EZTouch HMis have an extremely innovative Visibility tag on all objects. Object appears on the screen only if the visibility tag is true. Along with EZTouch’s feature of overlapping objects, visibility tag is a great space saver on the screen.

Feature 1 Image

Dual PLC Drivers with automatic tag conversion. All EZ3 and EZ7 HMIs have the capability to simultaneously talk to two PLC networks. For example, Ethernet I/P on one side and Modbus RTU on the other side communicating to a motor drive. Tags are automatically converted. This allows the two networks to communicate to each other through EZTouch.

Feature 2 Image

Real Time Remote Data Monitoring and Data Acquistion saving OEM field service trips. Instead of having to send field service engineers out to customers sometimes 1000’s of miles away, this feature in EZ3 allows Remote Monitoring & Troubleshooting of customer’s machine/process.

Feature 3 Image

On-Screen Recipe Edit - All EZTouch HMIs feature an on-screen recipe edit where you can edit the recipe on the HMI itself without needing to connect to a laptop with programming software.
