Watlow PM PLUS™ 6 • 10 • Chapter 1 Overview
PM PLUS™ Operational Overview
The PMPLUS receives Information from an input, performs an internal function as a response to that input,
then causes a resulting output. All of these - the inputs, the internal functions, and the outputs - are
configurable. A single PM PLUS™ can carry out several functions at the same time, such as PID control, checking for a limit condition, monitoring for several alarm situations, etc.
You may configure up to four profiles to automate a sequence of up to ten steps per profile, to further
customize and extend the application of the device.
Inputs
Inputs provide the information a programmed procedure can act upon. A basic example is a sensor monitoring
the temperature of a part being heated or cooled. Each analog input typically uses a thermocouple or RTD to
read the process temperature or the volts, current or resistance from various devices.
Optional digital input/output (DIO) hardware can be used as either an input or an output. Each DIO must be
configured as either an input or output. A digital input allows for a specific function to occur. The Function Key
can also be programmed to allow for a specific function to occur.
Internal Functions
A function is a user-programmed internal process that uses input signals to calculate a value and then perform
an action, i.e.:
• Compare an input value to the set point and calculate the optimal power for a heater
• Detect a failure of the primary sensing device and trip a contactor to remove power from the heating
element
• When a digital input signal changes, allows for a specific function to occur.
• Evaluate an incoming temperature to determine an alarm state (on or off)
Each internal function is associated with one source, or instance. For example, a control equipped with DIO,
can be configured to respond to one of the four alarms.
Outputs
Outputs are functions or actions configured to respond to information provided by an internal function. Some
output examples are: removal of the control voltage to a contactor; operating a heater, turning a light on or off,
unlocking a door, etc.
You can assign outputs to any input, and may 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
DIO 5.
Watlow PM PLUS™ 6 • 11 • Chapter 1 Overview
Configuration and Monitoring of Features Through Lists
PM PLUS™ features and parameters are structured in lists that you can access via the smooth-touch key
interface on the front panel for easy configuration and monitoring. You can also access lists remotely if you
prefer, using our EZ-LINK app or our CONFIGURATOR software.
ListDescription
Operations List This list is used to monitor or change runtime settings such as the high set point of the
limit, or monitor things like the time remaining in a profile step. It is also used to access
the main configuration lists referenced here.
Setup ListThis is used prior to operation to set up equipment related settings such as input type
and output cycle time.
Profile ListIf equipped with this feature you will use this list to configure up to 4 profiles with up to
ten steps each.
Factory ListThis list doesn't affect runtime operations. It is used to adjust hardware settings like
passwords or the appearance of the Home Screen, or to view the control part number.
Profiles
A profile is a sequence of steps. When a profile runs, the controller automatically executes its steps in sequence. The step type determines what action the controller performs. Steps can change temperatures and
other process values gradually over time, maintain temperatures and process values for specific periods, or
repeat a sequence of steps numerous times. At each step the profile can activate or deactivate outputs that
control other equipment. Also a step can have the controller wait for specific conditions before proceeding such
as, waiting for a switch closure and/or a specific process value to be detected by a sensor.
Input Events and Output Events
When a Profile step is programmed as a "Wait For Event Input" will wait for the "Input Event" to be in the proper
state before it will proceeds to the next step of a Profile. Event Outputs will allow you to turn "On" or "Off", or
"leave as is"; in each step of a Profile.

Installing the Device
1. Make the panel cutout using the measurements shown here. We recommend a minimum of 21.6 mm
between panel cutouts.
2. Remove the green terminal connectors and the mounting collar assembly.
3. Insert the controller into the panel cutout from the front.
4. Orient the collar base so the flat side faces front and the screw openings are on the sides, then slide the base
over the back of the controller.
5. Slide the mounting bracket over the controller with the screws aligned to the collar base.
6. Push the bracket gently but firmly until the hooks snap into the slots in the case.
7. Tighten the two #6-19 x 1.5" screws with a Phillips screwdriver until the device is flush to the panel
(3 to 4 in-lbs torque).
8. Secure screws from the back with Philips screwdriver.
Reinstall the terminal connectors to their original locations. (Or first connect field wiring as indicated in this
guide and then reinstall the connectors).
