General Description
The Zen IoT brings measurement and control, and the Internet Of Things together. This new genre of products is ideal for many applications, including AMR (Automatic Meter Reading), remote monitoring of assets, and data collation and transmission.
The Zen IoT is ideal for use as a bridging device, to connect existing infrastructure like PLCs and discrete control systems to the Cloud. It can also be used for edge process­ing, where data is collated from sensors and existing equipment, calculations are performed in the device, and the results are communicated to the Cloud.
A wide range of communication options are available to connect to other devices, and to the Cloud, using existing industrial protocols like Modbus, and new IoT comms like MQTT. Physical connections include Ethernet, WiFi, 3G/4G, RS485 and Bluetooth.
The Zen IoT features a unique low power design which can be programmed to start at power levels of less than ⁄W, making bat­tery packs and solar panel systems smaller and more cost eective. The unit also fea­tures industrial grade analog and digital I/O, with 4–20mA, RTD, TC and many more avail­able options.
The Zen IoT has an advanced and exible logic engine which can be programmed with a powerful scripting language (developed by Dene Instruments), to tie all these features together for custom applications. (Please contact us to discuss your project.)
The standard Zen IoT 4 has four isolated universal input channels, and comes in a compact 1.38" (35mm) case. This can be ex­panded to 12 inputs (2.36" [60mm] case) or 16 inputs (3.35" [85mm] case).

The Zen IoT supports a range of options to connect to the internet. These include:
CLOUD CONNECTION OPTIONS
Wired Ethernet Port
An Ethernet port (order code 'EIOT') is available for wired internet connection. (Ethernet Modbus TCP is also supported by this instrument and is available to OEM's on request.)
WiFi
WiFi connection (order code 'WIFI') enables LOS transmission of up to 1476 (450m) using the supplied 3dBi wireless antenna.
External 3G or 4G modem
An external 3G or 4G modem may be used for remote devices, and is especially useful when other connections are not an option. The Zen IoT supports 3G/4G modems by default via the included RS485 serial port. (You can also order an additional RS485 comm if required for connection to your PLC.) The external modem supported at this time is the GateTel GT-HE910-NAD with type approval for AT&T and T-Mobile.
Once you have decided on a Cloud connection option, Dene WorkBench (see Section 6) can then be used to congure your Cloud/server connection settings. Currently supported Cloud platforms are Xively and deviceWISE (please contact us if your preferred Cloud provider is not listed).
A Custom connection can also be used to connect to your own server or that of a third party. The Custom connection is secured using TLS and uses MQTT as the protocol transfer mecha­nism. It sends JSON packets containing the industry standard SenML (Sensor markup lan­guage) data.

OPERATING MODES
2.1 - WiFi Operating Modes
Station Mode
The most common operating mode for WiFi enabled Zen IoT's is the Station (or Client) Mode. This mode is used when the Zen IoT is required to connect to an access point of an existing WiFi network as a client.
Depending on the plugin, it can be set up to work with a DHCP server (default setting), or to have a xed (or Static) IP address. The user must enter the SSID and passphrase of the WiFi network that it is attempting to connect to.
Access Point Mode
Some WorkBench plugins also allow a WiFi enabled Zen IoT to be run as an access point which is totally independent of any other networks. This can be useful if there are no WiFi networks available, or if they are not accessible for security reasons.
When running in Access Point Mode, the Zen IoT will function as a DHCP server and can work with up to 5 Clients. The user can set the SSID, passphrase, and also which WiFi channel to use.
2.2 - Sleep Mode
The Zen IoT has a low power Sleep Mode which allows it to run on low current, to conserve power. This is useful for battery powered applications. Sleep Mode is installed with selected Cloud plugins in Dene WorkBench, and can be enabled from the 'Logging' tab.
In Sleep Mode the Zen IoT will wake up periodically to sample analog input data and take a data log sample. It will also publish data to a Cloud server, (if this feature is enabled), before returning to Sleep Mode.
When running in Sleep Mode the following features are disabled to conserve power:
Power LED is turned off WiFi/Ethernet/Bluetooth functionality is
disabled
RS232/RS485 serial port(s) are disabled
Relays are disabled (except for Relay D,
with retains its state during shut down)
Analog inputs are disabled
The 4 digital inputs on the Zen IoT remain active in Sleep Mode and can still be used as pulse counters with ow transducers etc. (See Section 3 Specications for reduced count rates dur­ing Sleep Mode).
Note: The Zen IoT will not enter Sleep Mode while a programing cable is inserted into the programming port on the front of the unit and connected to a PC via the Bridge Key. It will exit Sleep Mode if an active programming plug is inserted.

B - Metal Enclosure (Fig 2)
Prepare the Metal Enclosure (not supplied) as illustrated by mounting a DIN 35 rail, cable glands, and any other required components.
This enclosure type should be earthed.
If you are using the WiFi model or a cellular modem, a Metal Enclosure will impede your signal strength. In these cases, the antenna should be installed on the outside of the en­closure using a compatible Antenna Exten-
sion Cable.
C - DIN Rail Mounting (Fig 3)
To clip the unit onto the DIN rail: (1) Hook the upper part of the unit onto the rail, and then (2) Press down towards the rail until the red hook clicks into place.
Leave at least 0.79" (2cm) clear on either side of the unit, and at least 1.97" (5cm) clear above and below the unit, to allow room for airow and wiring.
D - Wiring
Refer to Sections 7–8 in this manual.

E - Removal from DIN Rail (Fig 4)
To unclip the unit from the DIN rail, power the unit down and remove the power connector.
Then insert a small screwdriver into the slot on the red hook (just visible when the power connector is removed), and lever it down. This will release the hook, allowing the unit to be detached from the DIN rail.
4.4 - EMC Installation Guidelines
Fig 4
The Zen IoT has been designed to cope with large EMC disturbances. This has been
achieved by continual testing and improve­ment of ltering and layout techniques.
The Zen IoT meets CE noise requirements, and even surpasses them in many tests. (For full details and test results, see Appen­dix A.) However in some applications with less than optimum installations and large power switching, the EMC performance of the unit can be further improved by:
A Installing the unit in an earthed Metal
Enclosure (as in Fig 2). This is particular-
ly useful if the control box is mounted close to large power switching devices like contactors. Every switching cycle there is a possibility of generating a large amount of near eld radiated noise. The Metal Enclosure, acting as a faraday cage, will shunt this radiation to ground and away from the unit.
B Increasing the physical distance from
the power devices. For example, in­creasing the control box distance from 6" to 12" from the noise source will re­duce the noise seen by the control box by a factor of 4. (Probably the cheapest and best results in this situation could be obtained by adding RC snubbers to the contactors or power switches.)
C Using shielded cable on sensitive input
and control signal lines. Good results can be obtained by grounding the shields to the metal enclosure close to the entry point. All cables act as aeri­als and pick up unwanted R.F. radiated signals and noise; the earthed shield acts as a faraday cage around the ca­bles, shunting the unwanted energy to ground.
Shields can also help with capacitively coupled noise typically found in circum­stances when signal cable is laid on top of noisy switching power cables. Of course in this case you are better o to keep separate signal and power lines.
D Laying cable on earthed cable trays can
also help reduce noise seen by the Zen IoT. This is particularly useful if there are long cable runs, or the unit is close to radiating sources such as two way radios.
E The relay outputs of the Zen IoT have
built in MOV's to help reduce EMI when switching inductive loads. EMI can fur­ther be reduced at the load by adding snubbers for AC signals or a yback di­ode for DC coils.

The RTD (standing for Resistance Temperature Device) is highly stable and accurate, and is fast becoming the most popular temperature sensor in industry. Oen referred to as Pt100 and Pt1000, the Pt repre­sents platinum (the dominant metal in its construction), and 100/1000 is the resistance in ohms at 0°C.
Supported RTD types/ranges
Pt100/Pt1000 (0.02°F/0.01°C res) -328 to 572°F (-200 to 300°C)
Pt100/Pt1000 (0.1°F/0.1°C res) -328 to 1472°F (-200 to 800°C)
Note 1 All RTD inputs are isolated from
each other.
Note 2 All RTD cables must be screened, with screen earthed at one end only. All three wires must be the same resistance (i.e. the same type and size).
Note 3 To minimize lead resistance errors, 3-wire RTD’s should be used. Oset errors for 2-wire RTD’s may be compensated for in the soware.
Note 4 Do not run input cables in close vicinity to noisy power supplies, contac­tors or motor cables. The best practice is to run input cables on a separate earthed cable tray. This will minimize RFI eects, of which magnitude cannot be easily predicted.

Note 2 For accurate thermocouple mea-
surements (especially at low tempera­tures) the top cover must always be tted. Avoid dras and temperature dierences across terminals. Once installation is com­plete, close the cabinet door and allow the cabinet to reach equilibrium. This may take several hours. Place all thermocouple probes into a calibrated thermal bath at temperature of interest. Any osets can be zeroed out in the soware.
Note 3 All thermocouples are referenced to a combination of four CJC tempera­ture sensors on the main Zen board. This minimizes errors caused by the mounting orientation of the Zen unit, and tempera­ture dierences in enclosures. However, for high accuracy applications it is still

recommended to zero errors (see Note 2).
Note 4 All cables must be screened, with screen earthed at one end only.
Note 5 When thermocouple inputs are se­lected, an upscale resistor is automatically connected to the T/C + input, resulting in an overow condition for open or broken sensors.

MAINTENANCE
10.1 - Calibration
Your Zen IoT has been fully calibrated at the factory, and can be recalibrated in soware us­ing Dene WorkBench (see Section 6). Scaling to convert the input signal to a desired display value is also done using WorkBench
If your Zen IoT appears to be behaving incorrectly or inaccurately, refer to troubleshooting before attempting to calibrate it. When recalibration is required (generally every 2 years), it should only be performed by qualied technicians using appropriate equipment.
Calibration does not change any user programmed parameters. However, it may aect the accuracy of the input signal values previously stored.
10.2 - Troubleshooting

Auto-detecting RS Port is not working
Power LED stays red con­tinuously AND data log samples have inaccurate time/date
Power LED stays red continuously
Cannot power up unit Check the power supply connections and supply range. (The
Ethernet device does not appear on the network when trying to connect in WorkBench
Ensure that any terminal connections marked 'NC' are le open - otherwise the Zen IoT will not be able to auto-detect your serial type.
The long-life battery for the real-time clock backup needs to be replaced. Please see 7.7 for instructions.
If the power LED stays red continuously but there is no prob­lem with time/date of recent data log samples (as noted above), then the red LED indicates an internal error which will need to be assessed by the manufacturer. Please return the Zen IoT to the manufacturer for analysis and repair.
