Chapter 1: Overview
The EZ-ZONE® ST Provides Total Thermal System Control
The EZ-ZONE ST solid-state controller offers complete thermal system control in a single package
while reducing system complexity and the cost of
control-loop ownership. You can order a PID controller already connected to a high-amperage, solid-state
relay capable of zero cross or phase angle firing with
the option of adding a properly sized heat sink, an
over-under temperature limit, a shut-down power
contactor, and digital communications in one package.
It just got a whole lot easier to solve the thermal
requirements of your system. Because the EZ-ZONE
ST along with the entire family of EZ-ZONE controls
are highly scalable where you pay only for what you
need. So if you are looking for a PID controller with
high amperage outputs, an over-under limit controller
or an integrated controller, the EZ-ZONE ST is the
answer.

A Conceptual View of the ST
The flexibility of the ST software and hardware allows
a large range of configurations. Acquiring a better
understanding of the controller's overall 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 controller in terms of
functions; there are internal and external functions.
An input and an output would be considered external functions where the PID calculation would be an
internal function. Information flows from an input
function to an internal function to an output function
when the controller is properly configured. A single
ST control can carry out several functions at the same
time. For instance, closed-loop control monitoring for
several different alarm situations, while at the same
time operating switched devices, such as lights and
motors. Each process needs to be thought out carefully
and the controller’s various functions set up properly.
Inputs Functions
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 procedure it
may represent a remote set point being received 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 connected to
that input.
Each digital input reads whether a device is active or inactive. A controller with digital input-output
(DIO) hardware includes two sets of terminals each.
Each DIO must be configured to function as either an
input or output with the Direction parameter in the
Digital Input/Output Menu (Setup Page).
The EZ-ZONE Remote User Interface (RUI) has a
function, or EZ Key on the front panel, this too can be
configured as a digital input by toggling the function
assigned to it in the Digital Input Function parameter
in the Function Key Menu (Setup Page). If interested
in learning more about the RUI and how it is used
with the ST retrieve the RUI user manual from the
Watlow web site. Point your browser to:
Once there, type in EZ-ZONE for a keyword at the
bottom of the page and then click on the search button
to find the user manual.
set a state to true or false, or reading a temperature 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).
Outputs Functions
Outputs can perform various functions or actions in
response to information provided by a function, such
as operating a heater, driving a compressor, turning a
light on or off, unlocking a door, turning on a buzzer
etc...
Assign an output to a Function in the Output
Menu or DIO Menu. Then select which instance of
that function will drive the selected output. For example, you might assign an output to respond to alarm 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 and output events are internal states that are
used exclusively by profiles. The source of an event
input can come from a real-world digital input or an
output from another function. Likewise, event outputs
may control a physical output such as an output function block or be used as an input to another function.
Internal Functions
Functions use input signals to calculate a value. A
function may be as simple as reading a digital input to

Getting Started Quickly
The ST control has a page and menu structure that is
listed below along with a brief description of its purpose.
Setup Page
Push and hold the up
and down keys (¿ ¯)
for 6 seconds to enter.
(See the Setup Page for
further information)
Operations Page
Push and hold the up
and down keys (¿ ¯)
for 3 seconds to enter.
(See the Operations
Page for further infor-
mation)
Factory Page
Push and hold the Infinity and the green
Advance keys (ˆ ‰) for
6 seconds to enter. (See
the Factory Page for further information)
Profile Page
Push and hold the the
green Advance key ‰ for
6 seconds to enter. (See
the Profile Page for further information)
The default ST loop configuration out of the box is
shown below:
• Analog Input functions set to thermocouple, type J
• Heat algorithm set for PID, Cool set to off
• Output 1 set to Heat
• Control mode set to Auto
• Set point set to 75 °F
If you are using the input type shown above, simply
connect your input and output devices to the control.
Power up the control and push the up arrow ¿ on
the face of the control to change the set point from
the default value of 75 °F to the desired value. As the
Set Point increases above the Process Value, output 1
will come on and it will now begin driving your output
device.
Once received, a user
would want to setup
their control prior to operation. As an example,
define the input type
and set the output cycle
time.
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 how much
time is left in a profile
step or perhaps change
the autotune set point.
For the most part the
Factory Page has no
bearing on the control
when running. Here, a
user may want to enable
password protection,
view the control part
number or perhaps create a custom Home Page.
If equipped with this
feature, a user would
want to go here to configure a profile.
Note:
The output cycle time will have a bearing on the
life of mechanical relay outputs and can be different based on the type of output ordered. The output
cycle time can be changed in the Setup Page under
the Output Menu.

Installation
Mounting and Dismounting the Controller from a DIN Rail
To mount the controller on a DIN rail, first
hook the top flange on the back of the heat
sink on to the top of the DIN rail. Then
rotate the controller to an upright position
until the lower flange snaps into place.
Note:
Typically, the DIN rail is mounted before com-
ponents are mounted on it.
To dismount the controller, first use a
screwdriver to pull down the small lever on the bottom of the heat sink and
rotate the bottom of the controller forward. Then lift the the controller off of
the rail.

Replacing the Solid-State Relay
on a Controller without a Contactor (ST _ _-A _ _ _-_ _ _ _)
1. Pinch the release levers on the top and
bottom of the control module and lift the
bottom edge forward to detach the unit.
4. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the
two screws connecting the solid-state relay
to the heat sink.
2. With a Phillips screwdriver, remove
the four nearest screws that were under the module.
Note:
For controller models without a contactor (ST _ _-A _ _ _-_ _ __),
the solid-state relay must be mounted with the larger power
terminals on the top and the smaller control terminals on the bot tom.
3. Lift the controller body, exposing
the solid-state relay.
Replacing the Solid-State Relay
1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, replace
the two screws connecting the solidstate relay to the heat sink.
2. Place the controller body over the
solid-state relay and, using a Phillips
screwdriver, replace the four screws
securing it.
3. Snap the control module in place,
bottom edge first.
Note:
Factory calibration is done using control and base modules as
matched pairs. Due to this fact, current detection (if turned on) may
not read accurately if a control module is placed into another base
module.

electromagnetic force from the inductive user load when de-engergized. It is recommended that this
or an equivalent Quencharc be
used when connecting inductive
loads to ST outputs.
• Internal supply provides a constant power
output of 750mW
• Maximum output sink
current per output is
1.5A (external class

Setting the Address
Modbus Controller Address
The address of an EZ-ZONE® ST controller with the
Modbus option (ST _ _-_ _ M _-_ _ _ _) can be set to
ranges from 1 to 8 using the DIP switch and ranges
1 to 247 using software.
Set switch 4 to on to use Modbus communications.
Modbus™ RTU addresses from 1 to 247 can be programmed into the controller using Standard bus
communications. Only one controller can be connected to the network while changing the address
using communications. After the Modbus address is
changed, all four DIP switches must be turned on
(set to 8) and the controller restarted for the new address be become available on the Modbus network.
The Modbus addresses set by software will override
only address 8, but lower addresses set on the DIP
switch will override the software-assigned addresses.
As many as 247 controllers can be connected to a
network.
The Standard bus address of an EZ-ZONE ST controller with the Modbus™ RTU option (ST _ _-_ _ M
_-_ _ _ _) ranges from 1 to 8, because DIP switch 4 is
reserved for switching Modbus on or off.

Note:
Changing the Modbus parameters listed above
must be done over Modbus using ST firmware re lease 2.0 and earlier. For firmware release 3.0 and
above using either an RUI or EZ-ZONE Configura tor software, navigate to the Setup Page and then
to the Com [Com] (RUI representation) menu to
change.
CAUTION:
Changes set over Modbus are immediate. Users will
not be able to communicate with the controller after
its address, parity or baud rate has been changed.
The master device will need to be re-configured to
the new settings.
Saving Settings to Nonvolatile Memory
When controller settings are entered using the optional RUI, changes are always saved to Non-volatile
Memory (EEPROM). If the controller loses power or
is switched off, its settings will be restored when it
starts again.
The EEPROM will wear out after about 1,000,000
writes, which would not be a problem with changes
made from the RUI. However, if the controller is receiving changing instructions from a PLC or a computer through a network connection, the EEPROM
could, over time, wear out. The Non-volatile Memory
Save parameter allows the user to save settings
made over the network to either volatile or nonvolatile memory.
By default, settings made through the network
are saved to non-volatile memory.
Note:
Changing Non-volatile Memory Save must be done
over the network using ST firmware release 2.0
and earlier. For firmware release 3.0 and above us ing either an RUI or EZ-ZONE Configurator soft ware, navigate to the Setup Page and then to the
Com [Com] (RUI representation) menu to change.

If Using Optional RUI (Display)
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]= 1[0]= 0[i]= i[r]= r
[2= 2[a]= A[j]= J[S]= S
[3]= 3[b]= b[H]= K[t]= t
[4]= 4[c], [C]= c[l]= L[U]= u
[5]= 5[d]= d[m]= M[u]= v
[6]= 6[e]= E[n]= n[w]= W
[7]= 7[f]= F[o]= o[y]= y
[8]= 8[g]= g[p]= P[2]= Z
[9]= 9[h]= h[q]= q
Range
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 Setup Page and look at the Analog
Input [`Ai] menu and then the Sensor Type [Sen]
prompt (instance 1). To turn the sensor off using
Modbus simply write the value of 62 (off) to register
400043 (Map 1) or register 400369 (Map 2) and send
W a tl o w E Z-Z O NE® S T • 27 • Cha p ter 2 In s tal l a n d Wir e
that value to the control.
Communication Protocols
All EZ-ZONE ST controllers come standard with
the Standard Bus protocol. As a option it can also
be delivered with the Modbus protocol as well. The
Standard Bus protocol is used primarily for communications to other EZ-ZONE products to include the
RUI and EZ-ZONE Configurator software (free download from Watlow's web site (http://www.watlow.com).
Other protocols that can be used to communicate
with the ST are available when used in conjunction
with the optional Remote User Interface/Gateway
(RUIGTW).
- Modbus RTU 232/485
- EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP
- DeviceNet
- Profibus DP

download the RUI/Gateway User Manual by pointing
your browser to:
Once there move to the bottom of the page and enter
EZ-ZONE into the Keyword field and then click the
search button.
Modbus RTU & Modbus TCP Protocols
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 465536 (6 digits). Watlow
controls support 6 digit Modbus registers. 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 Operations Page for the Process Value.
Find the column identified in the header as Modbus
and notice that it lists register 19 (instance 1, Map 1)
and register 360 (instance 1, Map 2). Because this parameter is a float instance 1 Map 1 is actually represented by registers 19 (low order bytes) and 20 (high
order bytes), likewise, instance 1 Map 2 is actually
represented by registers 360 (low order bytes) and
361 (high order bytes). Because the Modbus specification does not dictate which register should be high
or low order Watlow provides the user the ability to
swap this order (Setup Page, [Com Menu) from the
default low/high [lohi] to high/low [hilo].
Note:
With the release of firmware revision 3.00 and
above new capabilities (phase angle control, user
programmable memory blocks, etc...) where introduced into this product line. With the introduction
of these new capabilities there was a repacking of
Modbus registers. Notice in the column identified
as Modbus the reference to Map 1 and Map 2 reg-
isters for each of the various parameters. If the new
capabilities are to be used, be certain to select Map
2 Modbus registers. If the new functions of this
product line are not to be used, Map 1 (legacy ST
controls) Modbus registers will be sufficient. The
Modbus register mapping [map] can be changed
in the Setup Page under the [Com] Menu. This
setting will apply across the control.
It should also be noted that some of the cells in the
Modbus column as well as the RUI/GTW Modbus
column contain wording pertaining to an offset. Several parameters in the control contain more than one
instance; such as, profiles (4), alarms (2), analog inputs (2), etc... The Modbus register shown always represents instance one. Take for an example the Step
Type [styp] parameter found in the Profile Page.
Instance one, Map 1, is shown as address 500 and
+20 is identified as the offset to the next instance. If
there was a desire to read or write to instance 3 simply add 40 to 500 to find its address. In this case, the
instance 3 address for Step Type is 540.
The ST control, when equipped with Modbus has user
programmable memory blocks. To learn more about
this feature click on the link or turn to the Features
section and look for the section entitled "Modbus -
User Programmable Memory Blocks".
Data Types Used with Modbus

Common Industrial Protocol (CIP)
DeviceNet & Ethernet/IP
Both DeviceNet and EtherNet/IP use open object
based programming tools and use the same addressing scheme. In the following menu pages notice the
column header identified as CIP. There you will find
the Class, Instance and Attribute in hexadecimal,
(decimal in parenthesis) which makes up the addressing for both protocols.
The ST control has a feature that allows for implicit
messaging when used in conjunction with an RUI/
GTW equipped with a DeviceNet or EtherNet/IP
card. To learn more about this feature click on the
link or turn to the Features section and look for the
section entitled "CIP - Communications Capabilities".
