Introduction
The EZ-ZONE® RM Scanner (RMS) is capable of monitoring from 1 to 16 inputs. As is the case
with all of the RM family modules the RMS can be used as a standalone device or it can be
used as part of a larger system of interconnected RM modules. The RMS takes the pain out of
solving your need for high density monitoring requirements as either a stand-alone module or
in applications that require distributed control.
It just got a whole lot easier to solve the thermal requirements of your system. The RMS module is provided in a space-saving, rail-mount package and is highly scalable where you only
pay for what you need. For those applications that require the ability to configure/monitor
the control over a network, Modbus RTU communications is an option. Other communications
protocols are also available (e.g., EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet, Modbus TCP and Profibus DP) when
used in conjunction with an RM Access (RMA) module or when using a Remote User Interface/
Gateway (RUI/GTW).

A Conceptual View of the RMS Module
The flexibility of the RMS software and hardware allows for variation in configurations. Acquiring a better understanding of its functionality and capabilities while at the same time planning
out how the controller can be used will deliver maximum effectiveness in your application.
It is useful to think of the scanner in
three parts: inputs, procedures and outputs. Information flows from an input to
a procedure to an output when the scanner is properly configured. An RMS module can carry out several procedures at
Inputs
Prodedures

Alarm

Silence

Tu rn Loop
Alarms off
the same time, e.g., monitoring inputs for
several different alarm situations, monitoring and acting upon digital inputs, and
outputs can be configured to drive devices such as heaters, audible alarms, lights. Each process needs to be thought out carefully and the scanner’s inputs, procedures and outputs set
up properly.
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 temperature to set an alarm state to on
or off. Alternatively, if a failure with the primary sensing device should occur, sensor backup
could be utilized to avoid an unwanted shutdown.
To set up a function, one of the first things that must be considered is the function source
and instance. For example, if the control is equipped with Digital Inputs (source) and it was
decided to use DI 9 (instance) it can then be associated with an Action to reset an individual
alarm or all alarms.
To configure a Digital Input as described above:
1. Navigate to the Setup Page and then to the Digital I/O menu.
2. Select the desired instance and set the direction to input voltage or input dry contact.
3. Navigate to the Setup Page and then the Action menu.
4. Set the Action Function to Alarm
5. Select which alarm instance will be reset (0 equals all)
6. Select the Source Function to Digital I/O
7. Select the Source Instance (step 2 above)
8. Select the Source Zone (0 equals the module being configured).
9. Select the Transmitter Active Level to execute the desired function.
This configuration is now complete. When the selected digital input is active, the alarm or all
alarms that are latched without a currently existing alarm condition will be reset. If a specific
alarm instance (1 - 16) is selected (step 5) it will be that instance alone that will be reset.
Note:
Alarms will reset automatically when the condition that caused the alarm goes back to a
non-alarm state if the Latching prompt is set to non-latching (Setup Page, Alarm Menu).
Keep in mind that a function is a user-programmed internal process that does not execute any
action outside of the controller. To have any affect outside of the controller, an output must
be configured to respond to a function.
Inputs
The inputs provide the information that any given programmed procedure can act upon. Simply stated, this information may come from an operator pushing a button or from a sensor
monitoring the temperature of a part being heated or cooled.
Each analog input typically uses a thermocouple, RTD or thermistor to read the process temperature. It can also read volts, current or resistance, allowing it to use various devices to
read humidity, air pressure, operator inputs and others values. Each analog input must be configured to match the device connected to that input (see: Analog Input Menu, Setup Page).
Each digital input reads whether a device is active or inactive. An RMS module equipped with
digital input/output hardware includes two sets of terminals where 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 an output with the direction parameter (see: Digital Input/Output Menu, Setup Page).

as either an input or an output. Each pair of terminals must be configured to function as either an input or an output with the direction parameter (see: Digital Input/Output Menu, Setup Page).
Outputs
Outputs can perform various functions or actions in response to information provided by a
function, such as removal of the control voltage to a contactor; driving a heater; turning a
light on or off; unlocking a door; or turning on an audible alarm.
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 selected output. For example, in using an RMS
module, an output can be configured to respond to the output of the PID algorithm from another RM module to drive a heater.
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.
Actions
Based on a given input (Digital I/O, Event output, Logic function, etc..) the Action function
can cause other functions to occur. To name a few, set alarms to off, silencing alarms and re-
storing user memory.
A Conceptual View of RM Hardware Configurations
Due to the scalability and flexibility in the RM system a user has several options available in
the way that the hardware can be connected. Listed below are a few examples.
RMS Connected to a Remote User Interface (RUI) and a Personal Computer (PC)
In this configuration the RUI and PC are connected to the RMS module via Watlow's Standard
Bus where both will be able to talk directly to the RMS module.
In the graphic to the right, the PC running EZ-ZONE
Configurator software and or the RUI can be used to configure and then monitor the RMS and other modules connected to it
RMS Module Connected to a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) on a DIN Rail
In the illustration shown below, the PLC and the RMS module must be equipped with Modbus
RTU.
Note:
If it is intended to use an RUI or a PC using
EZ-ZONE Configurator software it will be necessary to switch the protocol on the RMS to Watlow's
Standard Bus to successfully communicate; follow
the steps below to switch the RMS to the Standard
bus protocol.
1. Disconnect all Modbus devices from the network
2. Push and hold the orange button on the face of
the module for approximately 6 seconds
3. When the LED display (above the orange button)
changes to P, momentarily release the orange
button and then push it again where S will appear (symbol for Standard Bus), release the orange button
4. Push the orange button again for approximately 3 seconds (LED display will become
brighter) to change the Standard Bus address if needed

RMS Module Connected to an Operator Interface Terminal (OIT) through an RMA
In this configuration the RMS can be connected to the OIT through the RMA running any of a
number of available protocols. The RMA and the OIT must be using the same protocol while
the communications from RMA to the RMS module is accomplished over the backplane using
Watlow's Standard Bus protocol. Available protocols in the RMA follow:
1. EtherNet/IP and or Modbus TCP
2. DeviceNet
3. Modbus RTU
4. Profibus DP
Notice that in the example to the right that
there is an optional RUI connected to the RMS
module. An OIT is not generally used to configure a control but is used more for run-time
information. As an alternative for configuration
the RUI could be used to configure and monitor in a remote location.
If using Modbus, one advantage in using an RMA module while also having an RUI and a PC
connected is that the RMS could be set for Standard Bus all of the time while the RMA can simultaneously run Modbus and Standard Bus protocols, no protocol switching required.

In this configuration both the inter-module bus (backplane communications) and Standard Bus
are connected between rails to allow for remote capabilities. It is recommended that the split
rail connection not exceed 100 feet. In this configuration the OIT can communicate with all
modules (maximum 16 modules any combination with one Access module).
The picture below represents one of six possible RM modules. All six will have four slots on
the face (slot A, B, D, and E) and one on the bottom (slot C) not shown. All of these slots are
not always used on all modules.
Note:
For correct operation and accuracy, the module must be mounted in a vertical orientation
as shown.
On the face of the module there is a button (white circle) under the Zone address (5) that
when pushed and held has the following functions:
1. For any module, push and hold the orange button for approximately 2 seconds. The address
will intensify indicating that it can now be
E
changed. Release and repeatedly press to change
D
to the desired unique address.
2. For the scanner module, if equipped with the
Modbus protocol (RMSxxxxxxxxx1xx), pushing
B
A
and holding the orange button for approximately
6 seconds will cause the module to display P for
protocol. Releasing the button and then pushing
it again (within 6 seconds), the display will toggle
between N (Modbus) and S (Standard Bus). Valid addresses for Modbus and Standard bus
range from 1 -16 (1 - 9, A is 10, B is 11, C is 12, d is 13, E is 14, F is 15, and h is 16).
The Access module is shipped at address J or 17.

Getting Started Quickly
Consider taking the following steps to quickly commission your control:
• Wire and connect the power source to the control
• Wire and connect input and output devices to the control
• Power up the control and navigate to the Setup Page to configure inputs, outputs, adjust
set points, alarms, etc...
The RMS controller has a page and menu structure that is listed below along with a brief description of its purpose. The menu structure can be easily seen and navigated using EZ-ZONE
Configurator software or the Remote User Interface (RUI).
The menu navigation as described below applies when the RMS is connected to the RUI
which is optional equipment.
Setup Page
Using the RUI, push and hold the up and
down keys (¿ ¯) for 6 seconds to enter.
(See the Setup Page for further information)
Operations Page
Using the RUI push and hold the up and
down keys (¿ ¯) for 3 seconds to enter.
(See the Operations Page for further information)
Factory Page
Using the RUI push and hold the Infinity
and the green Advance keys (ˆ ‰) for 6
seconds to enter. (See the Factory Page
for further information)
Home Page
When using the RUI, the control is at the
Home Page when initially powered up
where it will display the value of Analog
Input 1 in the upper display and the value
of Analog Input 2 in the lower display.
Note:
The Home Page is visible only when using the RUI.
A user would want to setup their control prior
to operation. As an example, define the input
type, alarm sides (high and or low) or set the
output function.
After setting up the control to reflect your
equipment, the Operations Page would be
used to monitor or change runtime settings.
As an example, the user may want to see the
current status (on or off) of an event in the
Action Menu.
For the most part the Factory Page has no
bearing on the control when running. A user
may want to enable password protection,
view the control part number or perhaps create a custom Home Page.
Pushing the green Advance Key ‰ will cause
the display to show the value of Analog Input
1 in the upper display and Analog Input 2 in
the lower display. With each successive push
of the green advance key the display will
sequentially show the value of all remaining
analog inputs in the upper display and the
lower display will show the corresponding LED
display. (e.g., Ain3 for input 3)
The default RMS loop configuration out of the box is shown below:
• All Analog Input functions are set to thermocouple, type J (to change go to the Setup Page,
Analog Input Menu)
• All Process Value functions are set to off (to change go to the Setup Page, Process Value
Menu)
• All outputs are set to off (to change go to the Setup Page, Output Menu)
Once the scanner has been wired and setup, power up the control. If using an RUI the upper
display will show the value of Analog Input 1 and the lower display will show the value of Analog Input 2

As can be seen below the dimensions of the RMS module will change slightly based on the
type of connector used.
Note:
Modules should always be mounted vertically. For easy removal and placement of modules
it is recommended that there be a 76.2 mm (3.00 in) clearance on the top, bottom and
front of each module.

The picture on the right shows the Modular Backplane Connector, both front and rear view.
The rear view is bringing in to focus a metal clip. If the DIN rail is grounded the Modular
Backplane Connector and the module connected to it will be also (recommended).
Installing the Modular Backplane Connector
To install the backplane follow the steps below:
1. Hook backplane assembly to upper edge of DIN rail, (see rear view above, backplane
hook detail that mates with upper rail edge is circled)
2. Next, rotate back plane assembly downward to engage the lower edge of the rail. (Note:
Din Rail clipping distance ranges
from 1.366 -1.389 inches. The back
plane assembly will not latch onto
the rail successfully if the rail is out
of dimension).
3. For final positioning and locking, the
red tab is to be pushed upward to
further engage the bottom edge of
the rail with an over center snap action latch. (The red locking tab protrudes from the bottom side of the
back plane assembly).
Note:
For easy removal and placement of
modules it is recommended that there be a 76.2 mm (3.00 in) clearance on the top, bottom and front of each module.
Multiple modules are easily aligned and latched together. Each module includes matched mating geometry that facilitates accurate and consistent interconnections.
To install backplane connectors follow the steps below:
1. Attach individual modules to the rail separately.
2. Laterally slide the modules together until
they touch.
3. When the multi-module system is attached
and laterally positioned to the desired
placement the locking tab should be engaged to secure the control system to the
rail.
Module Installation
In the picture to the right notice that the arrow is pointing at the top lip of the module (on
side).
To install modules on the backplane follow the steps below:
1. Slide the lip of the module over the top of the Modular Backplane Connector and then
push down on the rear of the module. The module will then slide over the two posts just
above the green connector (see pictures below).

Note:
Do not leave a USB to EIA-485 converter connected to Standard Bus without power (i.e.,
disconnecting the USB end from the computer while leaving the converter connected on
Standard Bus). Disturbance on the Standard Bus may occur.
Note:
When connecting the USB converter to the PC it is suggested that the Latency Timer be
changed from the default of 16 msec to 1 msec. Failure to make this change may cause
communication loss between the
PC running ZE-ZONE Configurator
software and the control.
To modify Latency Timer settings
follow the steps below:
1. Navigate to Device Manager on
the PC.
2. Double click on Ports.
3. Right click on the USB serial port
in use and select Properties.
4. Click the tab labele Port settings
and then click the Advance but-
ton.
Do not route network wires with power wires. Connect network wires in daisy-chain fashion
when connecting multiple devices in a network. Only one protocol per port is available at a
time: either Modbus RTU or Standard Bus.
Note:
A termination resistor is required. Place a 120 Ω resistor across T+/R+ and T-/R- of the
last controller on a network.
A network using Watlow's Standard Bus and an RUI/Gateway.
The RMS module can be installed as a stand-alone module or it can be interconnected on the
DIN rail as shown below. When modules are connected together as shown, power and communications are shared between modules over the modular backplane
interconnection (red circle). Therefore, bringing the necessary
power and communications wiring to any one module (connector
in slot C) is sufficient. The modular backplane interconnect comes
standard with every module ordered and is generic in nature,
meaning any of the RM modules can use it.
Notice in the split rail system diagram that a single power supply
is being used across both DIN rails. One notable consideration
when designing the hardware layout would be the available power supplied and the loading
affect of all of the modules used. Watlow provides three options for power supplies listed below:
Another hardware configuration scenario that could present itself (graphic not shown) would
be a configuration that requires more than one supply. Lets make some assumptions pertaining to the split rail system diagram shown above. The power supply used is the 91W supply.
The top DIN rail now has the following modules:
-2 RMC modules consumes 14W
-1 RMA consumes 4W
-11 RME modules consumes 77W
As it can now be understood, the total power requirement exceeds 91W. In this case, another
power supply would be required. To incorporate another supply in this system simply disconnect pins 99 and 98 on the remote DIN rail and connect another appropriately sized power
supply to those same pins.
When using a split rail configuration ensure that the interconnections for the Inter-module Bus
and Standard Bus do not exceed 200 feet. Standard Bus and the Inter-module Buses are different protocols and both are required for split rail configurations. Without having both connected, communications between modules would not be possible.
Note:
Unit is not provided with a disconnect, use of an external disconnect is required. It should
be located in close proximity to the unit and be labeled as the disconnect for the unit.
Note:
Connecting power supplies in parallel is not allowed. When power consumption is greater
than 91 watts use a split rail configuration.
To better understand the menu pages that follow review the naming conventions used. When
encountered throughout this document, the word "default" implies as shipped from the factory. Each page (Operations, Setup and Factory) and their associated menus have identical
headers defined below:
Header NameDefinition
DisplayVisually displayed information from the control.
Parameter NameDescribes the function of the given parameter.
Range

If used in conjunction with an RMA module identifies unique parameters using either the DeviceNet or EtherNet/IP protocol (further explanation below).

float = IEEE 754 32-bit
RWES = ReadableWritableEEPROM (saved)User Set (saved)
Display
When the RMS module is used in conjunction with the RUI (optional equipment) visual information from the control is displayed to the observer using a fairly standard 7 segment display.
Due to the use of this technology, several characters displayed need some interpretation, see
the list below:
1= 1ϯ= 7
, {= ci= io= ou= u
щ
2 = 28 = 8ц= dJ= JP= Pv= v
3 = 3q = 9E= EH= Kq= qФІ= W
4 = 40 = 0F= FL= Lr= ry= y
5 = 5џ = g= gЛЏ= MS= SZ= Z
Within this column notice that on occasion there will be numbers found within parenthesis.
This number represents the enumerated value for that particular selection. Range selections
can be made simply by writing the enumerated value of choice using any of the available
communications protocols. As an example, turn to the Control Module Setup Page and look at
the Analog Input menu and then the Sensor Type. To turn the sensor off using Modbus simply
write the value of 62 (off) to register 388 and send that value to the control.
Communication Protocols
All modules come with the standard offering of Watlow's Standard Bus protocol used primarily
for inter-module communications as well as for configuration using EZ-ZONE Configurator software (free download from Watlow's web site (http://ww w.watlow.com). Along with Standard
Bus, the RMS module can also be ordered with Modbus RTU (only one protocol can be active
at any given time). The RMA module has options for several different protocols listed below:
-Modbus RTU 232/485
-EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP
-DeviceNet
-Probus DP
To learn more about the RM Access module click on the link below. Once there simply type in
RM in the Keyword field. http://w ww.watlow.co m/literature/manuals.cfm
Modbus RTU Protocol
All Modbus registers are 16-bits and as displayed in this manual are relative addresses (actual).
Some legacy software packages limit available Modbus registers to 40001 to 49999 (5 digits).
Many applications today require access to all available Modbus registers which range from
400001 to 465535 (6 digits). Watlow controls support 6 digit Modbus registers.
Note:
In this User's Guide all values shown representing Modbus addresses are added to 400,001
or 40,001 to acquire the absolute address. As an example, notice above (under the Range
header) the Modbus address identified for Sensor type. Compare this to the value listed
for this same parameter found in the Setup Page under the Analog Input Menu.
For parameters listed as float notice that only one (low order) of the two registers is listed,
this is true throughout this document. By default, the low order word contains the two low
bytes of the 32-bit parameter. As an example, look in the module Operations Page for the
Analog Input Value. Find the column identified in the header as Modbus and notice that it lists
register 380. Because this parameter is a float it is actually represented by registers 380 (low
order bytes) and 381 (high order bytes). The Modbus specification does not dictate which register should be high or low order so Watlow provides the user the ability to swap this order
(Setup Page, Communications Menu) from the default low/high to high/low.
It should also be noted that some of the cells in the Modbus column contain wording pertaining to an offset. Several parameters in the control contain more than one instance; such as,
alarms (24), analog inputs (16), etc... The Modbus register shown always represents instance
one. Take for an example the Alarm Silencing parameter found in the Setup Page under the
Alarm menu. Instance one is shown as address 2510 and +60 is identified as the offset to the
next instance. If there was a desire to read or write to the same member instance 3, simply
add 120 to 2510 to find its address; in this case, the instance 3 address for Alarm Silencing is
There are two columns shown in the menus that follow for communications protocols identified as CIP (Common Industrial Protocol) and Profibus. These columns will be useful if this
control is used in conjunction with the RMA module or the EZ-ZONE Remote User Interface/
Gateway (RUI/GTW) where those protocols can be selected as optional hardware. For this
module (RMS), as a secondary protocol beyond Standard Bus, Modbus RTU can be ordered
as optional hardware.
To learn more about the RUI/GTW point your browser to the link below and search for keyword EZ-ZONE. http://www.watlow.com/literature/pti_search.cfm
