easyConnect simplifies all essential steps for the user - from planning to installation to operation of a machine. For the planning phase, easyConnect provides configurators that can be used to configure the hardware according to the requirements of the machine. This means that easyConnect will replace the Weidmüller Configurator (WMC) in the future. This first had to be installed by users. easyConnect makes the configuration service web-enabled and enables access via the cloud.

The platform simplifies the handling of software on the device: Device configuration and parameterization, which could previously only be executed on the machine itself, can in future be created in easyConnect and distributed to all devices via the rollout management service from the cloud. Thanks to the close connection to the u-OS operating system, apps can be easily integrated on Weidmüller devices.
