Watlow EZ-ZONE® PM Integrated Controller • 2 • Chapter 1 Overview
Chapter 1: Overview
1
The EZ-ZONE® PM takes the pain out of solving
your thermal loop requirements.
Watlow’s EZ -ZONE® PM controllers offer options
to reduce system complexity and the cost of control-
loop ownership. You can order the EZ-ZONE® PM as
a PID controller or an over-under limit controller, or
you can combine both functions in the PM Integrat-
ed Limit Controller. You now have the option to in-
tegrate a high-amperage power controller output, an
over-under limit controller and a high-performance
PID controller all in space-saving, panel-mount
packages. You can also select from a number of se-
rial communications options to help you manage sys-
tem performance.
It just got a whole lot easier to solve the ther-
mal requirements of your system. Because the EZ-
ZONE® PM controllers are highly scalable, you only
pay for what you need. So if you are looking for a
PID controller, an over-under limit controller or an
integrated controller, the EZ-ZONE® PM is the an-
swer.

Watlow EZ-ZONE® PM Integrated Controller • 3 • Chapter 1 Overview
A Conceptual View of the PM
The flexibility of the PM’s software and hardware al-
lows a large range of configurations. Acquiring a bet-
ter understanding of the controller’s overall function-
ality and capabilities while at the same time plan-
ning out how the controller can be used will deliver
maximum effectiveness in your application.
It is useful to think of the controller in three
parts: inputs; procedures; and outputs. Information
flows from an input to a procedure to an output when
the controller is properly configured. A single PM
controller can carry out several procedures at the
same time, for instance closed-loop control, monitor-
ing for several different alarm situations and oper-
ating switched devices, such as lights and motors.
Each process needs to be thought out carefully and
the controller’s inputs, procedures and outputs set up
properly.
Inputs
The inputs provide the information that any given
programmed procedure can act upon. In a simple
form, this information may come from an operator
pushing a button or as part of a more complex pro-
cedure it may represent a remote set point being re-
ceived from another controller.
Each analog input typically uses a thermocouple
or RTD to read the temperature of something. It can
also read volts, current or resistance, allowing it to
use various devices to read humidity, air pressure,
operator inputs and others values. The settings in
the Analog Input Menu (Setup Page) for each analog
input must be configured to match the device con-
nected to that input.
Each digital input reads whether a device is active
or inactive. A PM with digital input-output hardware
includes two sets of terminals each of which can be
used as either an input or an output. Each pair of
terminals must be configured to function as either
an input or output with the Direction parameter in
the Digital Input/Output Menu (Setup Page).
The Function or EZ Key on the front panel of the
PM also operates as a digital input by toggling the
function assigned to it in the Digital Input Function
parameter in the Function Key Menu (Setup Page).
Functions
Functions use input signals to calculate a value. A
function may be as simple as reading a digital input
to set a state to true or false, or reading a tempera-
ture to set an alarm state to on or off. Or, it could
compare the temperature of a process to the set point
and calculate the optimal power for a heater.
To set up a function, it’s important to tell it what
source, or instance, to use. For example, an alarm
may be set to respond to either analog input 1 or 2
(instance 1 or 2, respectively).
Keep in mind that a function is a user-pro-
grammed internal process that does not execute any
action outside of the controller. To have any effect
outside of the controller, an output must be config-
ured to respond to a function.
Outputs
Outputs can perform various functions or actions in
response to information provided by a function, such
as operating a heater; turning a light on or off; un-
locking a door; or turning on a buzzer.
Assign an output to a Function in the Output
Menu or Digital Input/Output Menu. Then select
which instance of that function will drive the select-
ed output. For example, you might assign an output
to respond to alarm 4 (instance 4) or to retransmit
the value of analog input 2 (instance 2).
You can assign more than one output to respond
to a single instance of a function. For example, alarm
2 could be used to trigger a light connected to output
1 and a siren connected to digital output 5.
Input Events and Output Events
Input events are internal states that are set by the
digital inputs. Digital input 5 provides the state of
input event 1, and digital input 6 provides the state
of input event 2. Wait for Event steps in profiles
are triggered by these events. The setting of Digital
Input Function (Setup Page, Digital Input/Output
Menu) does not change the relationship between the
input and the event, so take care not to configure the
function in a way that would conflict with a profile
that uses an input event. An input will still control
the input event state, even if Digital Input Function
is set to None.
Output events are internal states that can only be
set by profile steps. Outputs 1 through 4 can be con-
figured to respond to output events.

Installation
case
retention collar
panel
bezel
gasket
1. Make the panel cutout using the mounting tem-
plate dimensions in this chapter.
Insert the case assembly into the panel cutout.
2. While pressing the case assembly firmly against
the panel, slide the mounting collar over the back
of the controller.
If the installation does not require a NEMA 4X
seal, slide the mounting collar up to the back of
the panel tight enough to eliminate the spacing
between the gasket and the panel.
Slide the mounting collar over
the back of the controller.
Place the blade of a screw-
driver in the notch of the
mounting collar assembly.
3. For a NEMA 4X (UL50, IP66) seal, place the
blade of a screwdriver in the notch of the mount-
ing collar assembly and push toward the panel
while applying pressure to the face of the control-
ler. Don't be afraid to apply enough pressure to
properly install the controller. The seal system is
compressed more by mating the mounting collar
tighter to the front panel (see pictures above). If
you can move the case assembly back and forth
in the cutout, you do not have a proper seal.
The tabs on each side of the mounting collar have
teeth that latch into the ridges on the sides of the
controller. Each tooth is staggered at a different
depth from the front so that only one of the tabs,
on each side, is locked onto the ridges at a time.
Note: There is a graduated measurement difference between
the upper and lower half of the display to the panel. In order to
meet the seal requirements mentioned above, ensure that the
distance from the front of the top half of the display to the panel
is 16 mm (0.630 in.) or less, and the distance from the front of
the bottom half and the panel is 13.3 mm (0.525 in.) or less.
Removing the Mounted Controller from Its Case
1. From the controller's face, pull out the tab on
each side until you hear it click.
Pull out the tab on each side
until you hear it click.
Grab the unit above and below
the face and pull forward.
2. Once the sides are released, grab the unit above
and below the face with two hands and pull the
unit out.
If it is difficult to pull the unit out, remove the
connectors from the back of the controller. This
should make it easier to remove.
ÓWarning:
• This equipment is suitable for use in class 1, div. 2, Groups
A, B, C and D or Non-Hazardous locations only. Temperature
Code T4A.
• WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD. Substitution of component
may impair suitability for class 1, div. 2.
• WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD. Do not disconnect equip-
ment unless power has been switched off or the area is known
to be nonhazardous.

Returning the Controller to its Case
1. Ensure that the orientation of the controller is
correct and slide it back into the housing.
Note: The controller is keyed so if it feels that it will not

Default Home Page
The Home Page is a customized list of as many as 20
parameters that can be configured and changed in
the Custom Menu [ CUSt] (Factory Page). The default
list of nine parameters below includes the Active
Process Value (value in upper display) and Active Set
Point (value in lower display). The Attention [Attn]
parameter appears only if there is an active message.
An active message could be a reported error, for ex-
ample, [C;Er1] (Current Error), or it could be for in-
formation only, for example, [tUN1] (Autotuning).
Use the Advance Key ‰ to step through the other
parameters. The parameter prompt will appear in
the lower display, and the parameter value will ap-
pear in the upper display. You can use the Up ¿ and
Down ¯ keys to change the value of read-write pa-
rameters, just as you would in any other menu.
If Control Mode is set to Auto, the process value
is in the upper display and the Closed Loop Set Point
(read-write) is in the lower display.
If a profile is running, the process value is in the
upper display and the Target Set Point (read only) is
in the lower display.
If Control Mode is set to Manual, the process val-
ue is in the upper display and the output power level
(read-write) is in the lower display.
If Control Mode is set to Off, the process value is
in the upper display and [`oFF] (read only) is in the
lower display.
If a sensor failure has occurred, [----] is in the
upper display and the output power level (read-write)
is in the lower display.
Changing the Set Point
You can change the set point by using the Up ¿ and
Down ¯ keys, when a profile is not running.
If the set point is displayed and the % indicator is
lit, the controller is in open-loop (manual) mode.
Note: Avoid continuous writes within loops. Excessive writes to
EEPROM will cause premature EEPROM failure. The EEPROM is

[Attn] Attention
An active message will cause the
display to toggle between the
normal settings and the active
message in the upper display and
[Attn] in the lower display.
Your response will depend on the
message and the controller set-
tings. Some messages, such as
Ramping and Tuning, indicate
that a process is underway. If
the message was generated by a
latched alarm or limit condition,
the message can be cleared when
the condition no longer exists. If
an alarm has silencing enabled, it
can be silenced.
Push the Advance Key to display
[ignr] in the upper display and
the message source (such as
[Li;h1]) in the lower display.
Use the Up ¿ and Down ¯ keys to
scroll through possible responses,
such as Clear [`CLr] or Silence
[`SiL]. Then push the Advance
‰ or Infinity ˆ key to execute
the action.

Watlow EZ-ZONE® PM Integrated Controller • 54 • Chapter 9 Features
Saving and Restoring User Settings
Recording setup and operations parameter settings
for future reference is very important. If you uninten-
tionally change these, you will need to program the
correct settings back into the controller to return the
equipment to operational condition.
After you program the controller and verify
proper operation, use User Save Set [USr;S] (Fac-
tory Page, Diagnostics Menu) to save the settings
into either of two files in a special section of memory.
If the settings in the controller are altered and you
want to return the controller to the saved values, use
User Restore Set [USr;r] (Factory Page, Diagnostics
Menu) to recall one of the saved settings.
A digital input or the Function Key can also be
configured to restore parameters.
Note: Only perform the above procedure when you are sure that
all the correct settings are programmed into the controller. Sav-
ing the settings overwrites any previously saved collection of
settings. Be sure to document all the controller settings.
Programming the Home Page
Watlow’s patented user-defined menu system im-
proves operational efficiency. The user-defined Home
Page provides you with a shortcut to monitor or
change the parameter values that you use most of-
ten.
You can create your own Home Page with as
many as 20 of the active parameters. When a param-
eter normally located in the Setup Page or Opera-
tions Page is placed in the Home Page, it is acces-
sible through both. If you change a parameter in the
Home Page, it is automatically changed in its origi-
nal page. If you change a parameter in its original
page it is automatically changed in the Home Page.
The default parameters will automatically appear
in the Home Page.
Change the list of parameters in the Home Page
from the Custom Menu [CUSt] (Factory Page).
Tuning the PID Parameters
Autotuning
When an autotune is performed on the EZ-ZONE®
PM, the set point is used to calculate the tuning set
point.
For example, if the active set point is 200° and
Autotune Set Point [A;tSP] (Operations Page, Loop
Menu) is set to 90 percent, the autotune function
utilizes 180° for tuning. This is also how autotun-
ing works in previous Watlow Winona controllers. In
addition, changing the active set point in previous
controllers causes the autotune function to restart;
where with the EZ-ZONE® PM changing the set
point after an autotune has been started has no af-
fect.
A new feature in EZ-ZONE® PM products will al-
low set point changes while the control is autotun-
ing, this includes while running a profile or ramping.
When the auto tune is initially started it will use
the current set point and will disregard all set point
changes until the tuning process is complete. Once
complete, the controller will then use the new set
point.
This is why it is a good idea to enter the active set
point before initiating an autotune.
Autotuning calculates the optimum heating and/
or cooling PID parameter settings based on the sys-
tem's response. Autotuning can be enabled whether
or not TUNE-TUNE+™ is enabled. The PID settings
generated by the autotune will be used until the au-
totune feature is rerun, the PID values are manually
adjusted or TRU-TUNE+® is enabled.
To initiate an autotune, set Autotune Request
[`AUt] (Operations Page, Loop Menu) to [`YES].
You should not autotune while a profile is running. If
the autotune cannot be completed in 60 minutes, the
autotune will time-out and the original settings will
take effect.
The lower display will flash between [tUnE] and
the set point while the autotuning is underway. The
temperature must cross the Autotune Set Point five
times to complete the autotuning process. Once com-
plete, the controller controls at the normal set point,
using the new parameters.
Select a set point for the tune with Autotune Set
Point. The Autotune Set Point is expressed as a per-
cent of the Closed Loop Set Point.
If you need to adjust the tuning procedure's ag-
gressiveness, use Autotune Aggressiveness [T;Agr]
(Setup Page, Loop Menu). Select under damped [Un-
dr] to bring the process value to the set point quick-
ly. Select over damped [ouer] to bring the process
value to the set point with minimal overshoot. Select
critical damped [Crit] to balance a rapid response
with minimal overshoot.

Manual Tuning
In some applications, the autotune process may not
provide PID parameters for the process characteris-
tics you desire. If that is the case, you may want to
tune the controller manually.
1. Apply power to the controller and establish a set
point typically used in your process.
2. Go to the Operations Page, Loop Menu, and set
Heat Proportional Band [`h;Pb] and/or Cool Pro-
portional Band [`C;Pb] to 5. Set Time Integral
[``ti] to 0. Set Time Derivative [``td] to 0.
3. When the system stabilizes, watch the process
value. If it fluctuates, increase the Heat Propor-
tional Band or Cool Proportional Band value in 3
to 5° increments until it stabilizes, allowing time
for the system to settle between adjustments.
4. When the process has stabilized, watch Heat
Power [`h;Pr] or Cool Power [`C;Pr] (Operations
Page, Monitor Menu). It should be stable ±2%. At
this point, the process temperature should also
be stable, but it will have stabilized before reach-
ing the set point. The difference between the set
point and actual process value can be eliminated
with Integral.
5. Start with an Integral value of 6,000 and allow
10 minutes for the process temperature to reach
the set point. If it has not, reduce the setting by
half and wait another 10 minutes. Continue re-
ducing the setting by half every 10 minutes until
the process value equals the set point. If the pro-
cess becomes unstable, the Integral value is too
small. Increase the value until the process stabi-
lizes.
6. Increase Derivative to 0.1. Then increase the set
point by 11° to 17°C. Monitor the system’s ap-
proach to the set point. If the process value over-
shoots the set point, increase Derivative to 0.2.
Increase the set point by 11° to 17°C and watch
the approach to the new set point. If you increase
Derivative too much, the approach to the set
point will be very sluggish. Repeat as necessary
until the system rises to the new set point with-
out overshoot or sluggishness.
For additional information about autotune and PID
control, see related features in this chapter.
Autotuning with TRU-TUNE+®
The TRU-TUNE+® adaptive algorithm will optimize
the controller's PID values to improve control of dy-
namic processes. TRU-TUNE+® monitors the process
variable and adjusts the control parameters auto-
matically to keep your process at set point during set
point and load changes. When the controller is in the
adaptive control mode, it determines the appropriate
output signal and, over time, adjusts control param-
eters to optimize responsiveness and stability. The
TRU-TUNE+® feature does not function for on-off
control.
The preferred and quickest method for tuning a
loop is to establish initial control settings and contin-
ue with the adaptive mode to fine tune the settings.
Setting a controller's control mode to tune starts
this two-step tuning process. (See Autotuning in this
chapter.) This predictive tune determines initial,
rough settings for the PID parameters. Then the loop
automatically switches to the adaptive mode which
fine tunes the PID parameters.
Once the process variable has been at set point for
a suitable period (about 30 minutes for a fast process
to roughly two hours for a slower process) and if no
further tuning of the PID parameters is desired or
needed, TRU-TUNE+™ may be turned off. However,
keeping the controller in the adaptive mode allows it
to automatically adjust to load changes and compen-
sate for differing control characteristics at various
set points for processes that are not entirely linear.
Once the PID parameters have been set by the
TRU-TUNE+™ adaptive algorithm, the process, if
shut down for any reason, can be restarted in the
adaptive control mode.
Turn TRU-TUNE+™ on or off with TRU-TUNE+™
Enable [t;tUn] (Setup Page, Loop Menu).
Use TRU-TUNE+™ Band [t;bnd] (Setup Page,
Loop Menu) to set the range above and below the
set point in which adaptive tuning will be active.
Adjust this parameter only in the unlikely event
that the controller is unable to stabilize at the set
point with TRU-TUNE+™ Band set to auto (0). This
may occur with very fast processes. In that case, set
TRU-TUNE+™ Band to a large value, such as 100.
Use TRU-TUNE+™ Gain [`t;gn] (Setup Page,
Loop Menu) to adjust the responsiveness of the adap-
tive tuning calculations. Six settings range from 1,
with the most aggressive response and most poten-
tial overshoot (highest gain), to 6, with the least ag-
gressive response and least potential for overshoot
(lowest gain). The default setting, 3, is recommended
for loops with thermocouple feedback and moderate
response and overshoot potential.
Before Tuning
Before autotuning, the controller hardware must be
installed correctly, and these basic configuration pa-
rameters must be set:
• Sensor Type [`SEn] (Setup Page, Analog Input
Menu), and scaling, if required;
• Function [``Fn] (Setup Page, Output Menu) and
scaling, if required.
How to Autotune a Loop
1. Enter the desired set point or one that is in the
middle of the expected range of set points that
you want to tune for.
2. Enable TRU-TUNE+®.
![](asset-3a.png)
Watlow EZ-ZONE® PM Integrated Controller • 56 • Chapter 9 Features
3. Initiate an autotune. (See Autotuning in this
chapter.)
When autotuning is complete, the PID parameters
should provide good control. As long as the loop is in
the adaptive control mode, TRU-TUNE+® continu-
ously tunes to provide the best possible PID control
for the process.
ç
WARNING! During autotuning, the controller sets the output
to 100 percent and attempts to drive the process variable
toward the set point. Enter a set point and heat and cool
power limits that are within the safe operating limits of your
system.
Inputs
Calibration Offset
Calibration offset allows a device to compensate for
an inaccurate sensor, lead resistance or other factors
that affect the input value. A positive offset increases
the input value, and a negative offset decreases the
input value.
The input offset value can be viewed or changed
with Calibration Offset [`i;CA] (Operations Page,
Analog Input Menu).

Calibration
To calibrate an analog input, you will need to provide
two electrical signals or resistance loads near the ex-
tremes of the range that the application is likely to
utilize. See recommended values below:
Sensor Type Low Source High Source
thermocouple 0.000 mV 50.000 mV
millivolts 0.000 mV 50.000 mV
volts 0.000V 10.000V
milliamps 0.000 mA 20.000 mA
100 Ω RTD 50.00 Ω 350.00 Ω
1,000 Ω RTD 500.00 Ω 3,500.00 Ω
Follow these steps for a thermocouple or pro-
cess input:
1. Apply the low source signal to the input you are
calibrating. Measure the signal to ensure it is ac-
curate.
2. Read the value of Electrical Measurement [`Mu]
(Factory Page, Calibration Menu) for that input.
3. Calculate the offset value by subtracting this val-
ue from the low source signal.
4. Set Electrical Input Offset [ELi;o] (Factory Page,
Calibration Menu) for this input to the offset val-
ue.
5. Check the Electrical Measurement to see whether
it now matches the signal. If it doesn’t match, ad-
just Electrical Offset again.
6. Apply the high source signal to the input. Mea-
sure the signal to ensure it is accurate.
7. Read the value of Electrical Measurement for
that input.
8. Calculate the gain value by dividing the low
source signal by this value.
9. Set Electrical Slope [ELi;S] (Factory Page, Cali-
bration Menu) for this input to the calculated
gain value.
10. Check the Electrical Measurement to see wheth-
er it now matches the signal. If it doesn’t match,
adjust Electrical Slope again.
Set Electrical Offset to 0 and Electrical Slope to 1 to
restore factory calibration.
Follow these steps for an RTD input:
1. Measure the low source resistance to ensure it
is accurate. Connect the low source resistance to
the input you are calibrating.
2. Read the value of Electrical Measurement [`Mu]
(Factory Page, Calibration Menu) for that input.
3. Calculate the offset value by subtracting this val-
ue from the low source resistance.
4. Set Electrical Input Offset [ELi;o] (Factory Page,
Calibration Menu) for this input to the offset val-
ue.
5. Check the Electrical Measurement to see whether
it now matches the resistance. If it doesn’t match,
adjust Electrical Offset again.
6. Measure the high source resistance to ensure it
is accurate. Connect the high source resistance to
the input.
7. Read the value of Electrical Measurement for
that input.
8. Calculate the gain value by dividing the low
source signal by this value.
9. Set Electrical Slope [ELi;S] (Factory Page, Cali-
bration Menu) for this input to the calculated
gain value.
10. Check the Electrical Measurement to see wheth-
er it now matches the signal. If it doesn’t match,
adjust Electrical Slope again.

Filter Time Constant
Filtering smoothes an input signal by applying a
first-order filter time constant to the signal. Filter-
ing the displayed value makes it easier to monitor.
Filtering the signal may improve the performance of
PID control in a noisy or very dynamic system.
Adjust the filter time interval with Filter Time
[`FiL] (Setup Page, Analog Input Menu).
Example: With a filter value of 0.5 seconds, if the
process input value instantly changes from 0 to 100
and remained at 100, the display will indicate 100 after
five time constants of the filter value or 2.5 seconds.

Sensor Selection
You need to configure the controller to match the in-

Select the sensor type with Sensor Type [`Sen]
(Setup Page, Analog Input Menu).
Sensor Backup
Sensor backup maintains closed-loop control after an
input failure by switching control to input 2.
The sensor backup feature is only available in an
EZ-ZONE® PM Integrated limit or remote set point
controller.
Turn sensor backup on or off with Sensor Backup
Enable [`S;bA] (Setup Page, Analog Input 1).
Set Point Low Limit and High Limit
The controller constrains the set point to a value be-
tween a set point low limit and a set point high limit.
Set the set point limits with Low Set Point
[`L;SP] and High Set Point [`h;SP] (Setup Page,
Loop Menu).
There are two sets of set point low and high lim-
its: one for a closed-loop set point, another for an
open-loop set point.
Set Point Range (must be between Range High and Range Low)
Low Limit of selected functional range
High Limit of selected functional range
Gas Pressure
Range High Range (between High Limit of Sensor and Range Low)
Range Low Range (between Low Limit of Sensor and Range High)
Set Point Low
Set Point High
Scale High and Scale Low
When an analog input is selected as process voltage
or process current input, you must choose the value
of voltage or current to be the low and high ends. For
example, when using a 4 to 20 mA input, the scale
low value would be 4.00 mA and the scale high value
would be 20.00 mA. Commonly used scale ranges are:
0 to 20 mA, 4 to 20 mA, 0 to 5V, 1 to 5V and 0 to 10V.
You can create a scale range representing other
units for special applications. You can reverse scales
from high values to low values for analog input sig-
nals that have a reversed action. For example, if 50
psi causes a 4 mA signal and 10 psi causes a 20 mA
signal.
Scale low and high low values do not have to match
the bounds of the measurement range. These along
with range low and high provide for process scaling
and can include values not measureable by the control-
ler. Regardless of scaling values, the measured value
will be constrained by the electrical measurements of
the hardware.
Select the low and high values with Scale Low
[`S;Lo] and Scale High [`S;hi]. Select the displayed
range with Range Low [`r;Lo] and Range High
[`r;hi] (Setup Page, Analog Input Menu).
Range High and Range Low
With a process input, you must choose a value to rep-
resent the low and high ends of the current or voltage
range. Choosing these values allows the controller’s
display to be scaled into the actual working units of
measurement. For example, the analog input from a
humidity transmitter could represent 0 to 100 per-
cent relative humidity as a process signal of 4 to 20
mA. Low scale would be set to 0 to represent 4 mA
and high scale set to 100 to represent 20 mA. The in-
dication on the display would then represent percent
humidity and range from 0 to 100 percent with an
input of 4 to 20 mA.
Select the low and high values with Range Low
[`r;Lo] and Range High [`r;hi] (Setup Page, Analog
Input Menu).
Receiving a Remote Set Point
The remote set point feature allows the controller
to use a thermocouple, RTD, 1 k potentiometer or
process signal at input 2 to establish the set point,
![](asset-3c.png)
Watlow EZ-ZONE® PM Integrated Controller • 58 • Chapter 9 Features
which allows its set point to be manipulated by an
external source. A common application would use one
ramping controller with a set-point retransmit out-
put to ramp multiple controllers using the remote set
point. Or you could use an analog output from a PLC
to send set point values to an EZ-ZONE® PM.
The controller must have two process inputs to
use the remote set point feature.
You may select between local and remote set
points at the front panel, with an event input, from a
remote computer using the communications feature
or from an external switch using an event input.
Make sure all input and output impedances are
compatible.
Switch to the remote set point with Remote En-
able [`r;En] (Operations Page, Loop Menu). Select
whether the remote set point controls an open- or
closed-loop set point with Remote Set Point Type
[`r;ty].
Assign the function of switching to a remote set
point to a digital input with Digital Input Function
[``Fn] (Setup Page, Digital Input Menu).
Assign the function of switching to a remote set
point to the EZ Key with Digital Input Function
[``Fn] (Setup Page, Function Key Menu).
Outputs
Duplex
Certain systems require that a single process output
control both heating and cooling outputs. An EZ-
ZONE® PM controller with a process output can func-
tion as two separate outputs.
With a 4 to 20mA output the heating output will
operate from 12 to 20mA (0 to +100 percent) and the
cooling output will operate from 12 to 4mA (0 to -100
percent).
In some cases this type of output is required by
the device that the EZ-ZONE® PM controls, such as
a three-way valve that opens one way with a 12 to
20mA signal and opens the other way with a 4 to
12mA signal. This feature reduces the overall system
cost by using a single output to act as two outputs.
Outputs 1 and 3 can be ordered as process out-
puts. Select duplex [dUPL] as the Output Function
[``Fn] (Setup Page, Output Menu). Set the output to
volts [uoLt] or milliamps [`MA] with Output Type
[`o;ty]. Set the range of the process output with
Scale Low [`S;Lo] and Scale High [`S;hi].
No-arc Relay
A no-arc relay provides a significant improvement in
the life of the output relay over conventional relays.
Conventional mechanical relays have an expected
life of 100,000 cycles at the rated full-load current.
The shorter life for conventional relays is due to the
fact that when contacts open while current is flowing
metal degradation occurs. This action produces un-
avoidable electrical arcing causing metal to transfer
from one contact to the other. The arcing conditions
continue on each subsequent contact opening until
over time the resistance through the contacts in-
creases causing the contacts to increase in tempera-
ture. Eventually, the contacts will weld together and
the relay remains in the on state.
The Watlow no-arc relay is a hybrid relay. It uses
a mechanical relay for the current load and a triac
(solid-state switch) to carry the turn-on and turn-off
currents. No-arc relays extend the life of the relay
more than two million cycles at the rated full-load
current.
Although a no-arc relay has significant life advan-
tages, a few precautions must be followed for accept-
able usage:
Do not use:
• hybrid relays for limit contactors. A limit or
safety device must provide a positive mechanical
break on all hot legs simultaneously;
• dc loads with hybrid relays. The triacs used for
arc suppression will turn off only with ac line
voltage;
• hybrid switches to drive any inductive loads, such
as relay coils, transformers or solenoids;
• cycle times less than five seconds on hybrid
switches;
• on loads that exceed 264V ac through relay;
• on loads that exceed 15 amperes load;
• on loads less than 100 mA;
• no-arc relays in series with other no-arc relays.
Retransmitting a Process Value or Set Point
The retransmit feature allows a process output to
provide an analog signal that represents the set
point or process value. The signal may serve as a
remote set point for another controller or as an in-
put for a chart recorder documenting system perfor-
mance over time.
In choosing the type of retransmit signal the op-
erator must take into account the input impedance
of the device to be retransmitted to and the required
signal type, either voltage or milliamps.
Typically applications might use the retransmit
option to record one of the variables with a chart re-
corder or to generate a set point for other controls in
a multi-zone application.
Outputs 1 and 3 can be ordered as process out-
puts. Select retransmit [rMt] as the Output Func-
tion [``Fn] (Setup Page, Output Menu). Set the out-
put to volts [uoLt] or milliamps [`MA] with Output
Type [`o;ty]. Select the signal to retransmit with
Retransmit Source [`r;Sr].

value, the retransmit output will be at its Scale Low

Cool Output Curve
A nonlinear output curve may improve performance
when the response of the output device is nonlinear.
If a cool output uses one of the nonlinear curves a
PID calculation yields a lower actual output level
than a linear output would provide.
These output curves are used in plastics extruder
applications: curve 1 for oil-cooled extruders and
curve 2 for water-cooled extruders.

Control Methods
Output Configuration
Each controller output can be configured as a heat
output, a cool output, an alarm output or deactivat-
ed. No dependency limitations have been placed on
the available combinations. The outputs can be con-
figured in any combination. For instance, all three
could be set to cool.
Heat and cool outputs use the set point and Oper-
ations parameters to determine the output value. All
heat and cool outputs use the same set point value.
Heat and cool each have their own set of control pa-
rameters. All heat outputs use the same set of heat
control parameters and all cool outputs use the same
set of cool output parameters.
Each alarm output has its own set of configura-
tion parameters and set points, allowing independent
operation.
Auto (closed loop) and Manual (open loop) Control
The controller has two basic modes of operation, auto
mode and manual mode. Auto mode allows the con-
troller to decide whether to perform closed-loop con-
trol or to follow the settings of Input Error Failure
[FAiL] (Setup Page, Loop Menu). The manual mode
only allows open-loop control. The EZ-ZONE® PM
controller is normally used in the auto mode. The
manual mode is usually only used for specialty appli-
cations or for troubleshooting.
Manual mode is open-loop control that allows the
user to directly set the power level to the controller’s
output load. No adjustments of the output power level
occur based on temperature or set point in this mode.
In auto mode, the controller monitors the input to
determine if closed-loop control is possible. The con-
troller checks to make certain a functioning sensor is
providing a valid input signal. If a valid input signal
is present, the controller will perform closed-loop con-
trol. Closed-loop control uses a process sensor to de-
termine the difference between the process value and
the set point. Then the controller applies power to a
control output load to reduce that difference.
If a valid input signal is not present, the control-
ler will indicate an input error message in the upper
display and [Attn] in the lower display and respond
to the failure according to the setting of Input Error
Failure [FAiL]. You can configure the controller to
perform a “bumpless” transfer [bPLS], switch power
to output a preset fixed level [MAn], or turn the out-
put power off.
Bumpless transfer will allow the controller to
transfer to the manual mode using the last power
value calculated in the auto mode if the process had
stabilized at a ±5 percent output power level for the
time interval of Time Integral (Operations Page,
Loop) prior to sensor failure, and that power level is
less than 75 percent.

Input Error Latching [`i;Er] (Setup Page, Ana-
log Input Menu) determines the controller’s response
once a valid input signal returns to the controller.
If latching is on, then the controller will continue to
indicate an input error until the error is cleared. To
clear a latched alarm, press the Advance Key ‰ then
the Up Key ¿.
If latching is off, the controller will automatically
clear the input error and return to reading the tem-
perature. If the controller was in the auto mode when
the input error occurred, it will resume closed-loop
control. If the controller was in manual mode when
the error occurred, the controller will remain in
open-loop control.
The Manual Control Indicator Light % is on when
the controller is operating in manual mode.
You can easily switch between modes if the Con-
trol Mode [`C;M] parameter is selected to appear in
the Home Page.
To transfer to manual mode from auto mode,
press the Advance Key ‰ until [`C;M] appears in
the lower display. The upper display will display
[AUto] for auto mode. Use the Up ¿ or Down ¯ keys
to select [Man]. The manual set point value will be
recalled from the last manual operation.
To transfer to auto mode from manual mode,
press the Advance Key ‰ until [`C;M] appears in

keys to select [AUto]. The automatic set point value
will be recalled from the last automatic operation.
Changes take effect after three seconds or imme-
diately upon pressing either the Advance Key ‰ or
the Infinity Key ˆ.
On-Off Control
On-off control switches the output either full on or
full off, depending on the input, set point and hys-
teresis values. The hysteresis value indicates the
amount the process value must deviate from the set
point to turn on the output. Increasing the value de-
creases the number of times the output will cycle.
Decreasing hysteresis improves controllability. With
hysteresis set to 0, the process value would stay clos-
er to the set point, but the output would switch on
and off more frequently, and may result in the output
“ chattering.”
On-off control can be selected with Heat Algo-
rithm [`h;Ag] or Cool Algorithm [`C;Ag] (Setup Page,
Loop Menu).
On-off hysteresis can be set with Heat Hysteresis
[`h;hY] or Cool Hysteresis [`C;hY] (Operations Page,
Loop Menu).
Note: Input Error Failure Mode [faIl] does not function in on-
off control mode. The output goes off.

Proportional Control
Some processes need to maintain a temperature or
process value closer to the set point than on-off con-
trol can provide. Proportional control provides closer
control by adjusting the output when the temperature
or process value is within a proportional band. When
the value is in the band, the controller adjusts the
output based on how close the process value is to the
set point.
The closer the process value is to the set point, the
lower the output power. This is similar to backing
off on the gas pedal of a car as you approach a stop
sign. It keeps the temperature or process value from
swinging as widely as it would with simple on-off
control. However, when the system settles down, the
temperature or process value tends to “droop” short
of the set point.
With proportional control the output power level
equals (set point minus process value) divided by the
proportional band value.

Watlow EZ-ZONE® PM Integrated Controller • 61 • Chapter 9 Features
In an application with one output assigned to
heating and another assigned to cooling, each will
have a separate proportional parameter. The heating
parameter takes effect when the process temperature
is lower than the set point, and the cooling param-
eter takes effect when the process temperature is
higher than the set point.
Adjust the proportional band with Heat Pro-
portional Band [`h;Pb] or Cool Proportional Band
[`C;Pb] (Operations Page, Loop Menu).

Proportional Band Droop

Proportional plus Integral (PI) Control
The droop caused by proportional control can be cor-
rected by adding integral (reset) control. When the
system settles down, the integral value is tuned to
bring the temperature or process value closer to the
set point. Integral determines the speed of the cor-
rection, but this may increase the overshoot at start-
up or when the set point is changed. Too much inte-
gral action will make the system unstable. Integral
is cleared when the process value is outside of the
proportional band.
Adjust the integral with Time Integral [``ti]
(Operations Page, Loop Menu).
Proportional plus Integral plus Derivative (PID)
Control
Use derivative (rate) control to minimize the over-
shoot in a PI-controlled system. Derivative (rate) ad-
justs the output based on the rate of change in the
temperature or process value. Too much derivative
(rate) will make the system sluggish.
Derivative action is active only when the process
value is within twice the proportional value from the
set point.
Adjust the derivative with Time Derivative
[``td] (Operations Page, Loop Menu).

Dead Band
In a PID application the dead bands above and below
the set point can save an application’s energy and
wear by maintaining process temperature within ac-
ceptable ranges.
Proportional action ceases when the process value
is within the dead band. Integral action continues to
bring the process temperature to the set point.
Using a positive dead band value keeps the two
systems from fighting each other.

Variable Time Base
Variable time base is the preferred method for con-
trolling a resistive load, providing a very short time
base for longer heater life. Unlike phase-angle firing,
variable-time-base switching does not limit the cur-
rent and voltage applied to the heater.
With variable time base outputs, the PID algo-
rithm calculates an output between 0 and 100%, but
the output is distributed in groupings of three ac
line cycles. For each group of three ac line cycles, the
controller decides whether the power should be on or
off. There is no fixed cycle time since the decision is
made for each group of cycles. When used in conjunc-
tion with a zero cross (burst fire) device, such as a
solid-state power controller, switching is done only at
the zero cross of the ac line, which helps reduce elec-
trical noise (RFI).
Variable time base should be used with solid-state
power controllers, such as a solid-state relay (SSR)
or silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) power controller.
Do not use a variable time base output for control-
ling electromechanical relays, mercury displacement
relays, inductive loads or heaters with unusual resis-
tance characteristics.
The combination of variable time base output and
a solid-state relay can inexpensively approach the ef-
fect of analog, phase-angle fired control.
Select the AC Line Frequency [AC;LF] (Setup Page,
Global Menu), 50 or 60 Hz.
100 percent output
10 ON, 0 OFF
50 percent output
3 ON, 3 OFF

Note:
When output 1 is a universal process output, output 2 cannot
use variable time base, fixed time base only.
When output 3 is configured as a universal process, output 4
cannot use variable time base, fixed time base only.
Single Set Point Ramping
Ramping protects materials and systems that can-
not tolerate rapid temperature changes. The value of
the ramp rate is the maximum degrees per minute or
hour that the system temperature can change.
Select Ramp Action [``rP] (Setup Page, Loop
Menu):
[`oFF] ramping not active.

Alarms
Alarms are activated when the output level, process
value or temperature leaves a defined range. A user
can configure how and when an alarm is triggered,
what action it takes and whether it turns off auto-
matically when the alarm condition is over.
Configure alarm outputs in the Setup Page before
setting alarm set points.
Alarms do not have to be assigned to an output.
Alarms can be monitored and controlled through the
front panel or by using software.
Process and Deviation Alarms
A process alarm uses one or two absolute set points
to define an alarm condition.
A deviation alarm uses one or two set points that
are defined relative to the control set point. High
and low alarm set points are calculated by adding or
subtracting offset values from the control set point.
If the set point changes, the window defined by the
alarm set points automatically moves with it.
Select the alarm type with Type [`A;ty] (Setup
Page, Alarm Menu).
Alarm Set Points
The alarm high set point defines the process value
or temperature that will trigger a high side alarm.
It must be higher than the alarm low set point and
lower than the high limit of the sensor range.
The alarm low set point defines the temperature
that will trigger a low side alarm. It must be lower
than the alarm high set point and higher than the
low limit of the sensor range.
View or change alarm set points with Low Set
Point [`A;Lo] and High Set Point [`A;hi] (Operations
Page, Alarm Menu).
Alarm Hysteresis
An alarm state is triggered when the process value
reaches the alarm high or alarm low set point. Alarm
hysteresis defines how far the process must return
into the normal operating range before the alarm can
be cleared.
Alarm hysteresis is a zone inside each alarm set
point. This zone is defined by adding the hysteresis
value to the alarm low set point or subtracting the
hysteresis value from the alarm high set point.
View or change alarm hysteresis with Hysteresis

Alarm Latching
A latched alarm will remain active after the alarm
condition has passed. It can only be deactivated by
the user.
An active message, such as an alarm message,
will cause the display to toggle between the normal
settings and the active message in the upper display
and [Attn] in the lower display.
Push the Advance Key to display [ignr] in the
upper display and the message source in the lower
display.
Use the Up ¿ and Down ¯ keys to scroll through
possible responses, such as Clear [`CLr] or Silence
[`SiL]. Then push the Advance ‰ or Infinity ˆ key
to execute the action.
See the Keys and Displays chapter and the Home
Page chapter for more details.
An alarm that is not latched (self-clearing) will
deactivate automatically when the alarm condition
has passed.

Alarm Silencing
If alarm silencing is on the operator can disable the
alarm output while the controller is in an alarm
state. The process value or temperature has to enter
the normal operating range beyond the hysteresis
zone to activate the alarm output function again.
An active message, such as an alarm message,
will cause the display to toggle between the normal
settings and the active message in the upper display
and [Attn] in the lower display.
Push the Advance Key to display [ignr] in the
upper display and the message source in the lower
display.
Use the Up ¿ and Down ¯ keys to scroll through
possible responses, such as Clear [`CLr] or Silence
[`SiL]. Then push the Advance ‰ or Infinity ˆ key
to execute the action.
See the Keys and Displays chapter and the Home
Page chapter for more details.
Turn alarm silencing on or off with Silencing
[`A;Si] (Setup Page, Alarm Menu).
Alarm Blocking
Alarm blocking allows a system to warm up after
it has been started up. With alarm blocking on, an
alarm is not triggered when the process tempera-
ture is initially lower than the alarm low set point
or higher than the alarm high set point. The process
temperature has to enter the normal operating range
beyond the hysteresis zone to activate the alarm
function.
If the EZ-ZONE® PM has an output that is func-
tioning as a deviation alarm, the alarm is blocked
when the set point is changed, until the process value
re-enters the normal operating range.
Turn alarm blocking on or off with Blocking
[`A;bL] (Setup Page, Alarm Menu).
Current Sensing
Open heater circuit detection
Current Error [`C;Er] (Operations Page, Current
Menu) detects an open load circuit if no current is
flowing through the current transformer when the
output is active and the load is supposed to be on.
Shorted heater circuit detection
Current Error detects a shorted load circuit if cur-
rent is flowing through the current transformer
when the output is inactive and the load is supposed
to be off.

Using Lockout to Secure Settings
If unintentional changes to parameter settings might
raise safety concerns or lead to downtime, your can
use the lockout feature to make them more secure.
Each of the menus in the Factory Page and each
of the pages, except the Factory Page, has a security
level assigned to it. You can change the read and
write access to these menus and pages by using the
parameters in the Lockout Menu (Factory Page).
Lockout Menu
There are four parameters in the Lockout Menu (Fac-
tory Page):
Lock Operations Page [LoC;o] sets the security level
for the Operations Page. (default: 2)
Lock Profiling Page [LoC;P] sets the security level
for the Profiling Page. (default: 3)
Read Lockout Security [rLoC] determines which
pages can be accessed. The user can access the
selected level and all lower levels. (default: 5)
Set Lockout Security [SLoC] determines which pa-
rameters within accessible pages can be written
to. The user can write to the selected level and
all lower levels. (default: 5)

Security Levels
Bars indicate page and menu access by security level.
The following examples show how the Lockout
Menu parameters may be used in applications:
1. You can lock out access to the Operations Page
but allow an operator access to the Profile Menu,
by changing the default Profile Page and Opera-
tions Page security levels. Change Lock Opera-
tions Page [LoC;o] to 3 and Lock Profiling Page
[LoC;P] to 2. If Set Lockout Security [SLoC] is
set to 2 or higher and the Read Lockout Security
[rLoC] is set to 2, the Profiling Page and Home
Pages can be accessed, and all writable parame-
ters can be written to. Pages with security levels
greater than 2 will be locked out (unaccessible).
2 If Set Lockout Security [SLoC] is set to 0 and
Read Lockout Security [rLoC] is set to 5, all
pages will be accessible, however, changes will
not be allowed on any pages or menus, with one
exception: Set Lockout Security [SLoC] can be
changed to a higher level.
3. The operator wants to read all the menus and not
allow any parameters to be changed.
In the Factory Page, Lockout Menu, set Read
Lockout Security [rLoC] to 5 and Set Lockout
Security [SLoC] to 0.
4. The operator wants to read and write to the
Home Page and Profiling Page, and lock all other
pages and menus.
In the Factory Page, Lockout Menu, set Read
Lockout Security [rLoC] to 2 and Set Lockout
Security [SLoC] to 2.
In the Factory Page, Lockout Menu, set Lock
Operations Page [LoC;O] to 3 and Lock Profiling
Page [LoC;P] to 2.
5. The operator wants to read the Operations
Page, Setup Page, Profiling Page, Diagnostics
Menu, Lock Menu, Calibration Menu and Cus-
tom Menus. The operator also wants to read and
write to the Home Page.
In the Factory Page, Lockout Menu, set Read
Lockout Security [rLoC] to 1 and Set Lockout
Security [SLoC] to 5.
In the Factory Page, Lockout Menu, set Lock
Operations Page [LoC;O] to 2 and Lock Profiling
Page [LoC;P] to 3.
Note: Avoid continuous writes within loops. Excessive writes to
EEPROM will cause premature EEPROM failure. The EEPROM is
rated for 1,000,000 writes.
