Chapter 2: About Setting up
Communications
The following sections provide information to help you understand how to set up communications
between SpecView and Watlow controllers.
Instrument Templates and Protocols
SpecView includes support for hundreds of different devices. The protocol drivers and instrument
templates included with SpecView tell it how to communicate with specific devices. You will need to
choose the appropriate templates whenever you want to automatically or manually set up
communications between SpecView and a device.

Using Instruments from More than one Group or Protocol
The templates in the groups listed above that support Modbus® RTU on serial communications ports are
compatible with each other. Similarly the templates that support Modbus® TCP used over Ethernet are
compatible with each other. SpecView allows protocol-compatible templates to be used on the same
port, but you will need to help SpecView by instructing it when to do so. When there are controllers
connected to the same port that require instrument templates from different groups, you will scan once
for each of those groups to automatically detect the various devices.
If your configuration requires communicating with controllers supported by different protocols via serial
communications ports, each protocol must have its own network connected to SpecView via a separate
communications port. Support for multiple communication ports is an ordering option for SpecView,
and is field upgradeable.
Automatic and Manual Configuration
SpecView can automatically detect and set up communications with controllers. However, in some cases
it may be necessary to manually configure SpecView. This method is particularly useful if you want to
create screens and configure SpecView prior to receiving your controllers. Projects that were created
automatically can be updated by testing the communications network for new controllers. It is also
Using Watlow Products with SpecView 4 Addendum to SpecView Manual
Page 5
possible to manually add or remove controllers from any configuration whether it was created
automatically or manually. This addendum contains procedures for automatically and manually
configuring communications for the various networking options supporting Watlow controllers.
SpecView can automatically detect F4T and D4T data loggers controllers using Modbus® TCP or
Modbus® RTU and EZ-ZONE controllers using the Standard Bus protocol. When using Modbus® with
EZ-ZONE controllers create the configuration manually.
Naming Instruments
It is useful to name instruments such that you can easily relate what you see on the screen in SpecView
to your equipment and processes. You might want to use a name that:
• Indicates the controller’s function in the process
• Indicates the controller’s location in the panel
• Includes network information such as port and address
When you create a project or add instruments to one by automatically detecting controllers, SpecView
prompts you to name the instruments as it adds them. You must name any instruments that you add
manually. You can change an instrument’s name whenever you like. However, changing an instrument’s
name makes logged data associated with the old name inaccessible going forward; it is best to name
instruments up front.
Saving Settings in Non-Volatile Memory
Some Watlow controllers protect their non-volatile memory from being worn out prematurely due to
excessive use that may occur when communicating with devices such as a PLC that send the same
settings to a controller many times a second. In these controllers, the settings received via
communications can be held in volatile memory that is cleared when the controller is turned off. Since
SpecView will typically send parameter settings to a controller only when you edit a parameter on the
screen, for your convenience you can set the controller to routinely save the parameter settings that
come through communications in non-volatile memory. That way the values you set are saved even
when the controller is powered down. Consult the controller manual for the appropriate parameter,
typically called, “Non-Volatile Save”.
Using F4T Controllers and D4T Data Loggers
The instruments in the Watlow F4T & D4T group support standard and optional features in in F4Ts and
D4Ts as well as the flex modules those devices are set to expect. For details see F4T Instruments on
page 29.
Automatic Detection of F4Ts and D4Ts
When automatically detecting a network with the Watlow F4T & D4T group, SpecView reads the part
number of the F4T or D4T and adds the appropriate instruments for features including control loops,
cascade loops, profiles and alarms. Additionally, an instrument is added for each flex module the F4T or
D4T is configured to expect.
Additional Instruments Available with the Watlow F4T Driver
Because F4Ts and D3Ts offer many additional functions such as math, logic, timers and counters that
may not all be used in the application, other instruments may be manually added to a configuration to
gain access to the values and settings associated with these features.
Using Watlow Products with SpecView 5 Addendum to SpecView Manual
Page 6
Using EZ-ZONE Controllers with Standard Bus
When automatically detecting a Standard Bus network with the Watlow EZ-ZONE Standard Bus driver,
SpecView reads each device’s part number and adds the appropriate instruments. For the details see EZ-ZONE Standard Bus Instruments on page 30.
Note! Run the 32-bit version of SpecView for compatibility with the Watlow EZ-ZONE Standard Bus
driver. This driver is not supported by the 64-bit version of SpecView.
Using EZ-ZONE Controllers with Modbus®
To configure SpecView to communicate with EZ-ZONE products via Modbus® you will select and add
appropriate instruments manually. For each instrument you must determine the correct address string.
The address string depends on the type of network and its configuration. You will add as many copies of
the instrument as needed to allow access to the desired controller features. For example, to access all
four analog inputs in an EZ-ZONE RM Control Module, you will add four EZ-ZONE Analog Input
instruments.
SpecView Instruments Supporting EZ-ZONE Devices via Modbus®
The tables in this section list the instruments that may be used with each EZ-ZONE product. Additional
tables in the EZ-ZONE Modbus® Instruments section on page 43 list each parameter included in these
instruments. Review the supported parameters carefully and determine whether they allow you to
develop a project that meets your requirements. Standard Bus communications provides access to many
more EZ-ZONE controller parameters.
Simplified Address Strings in SpecView Version 3
In previous versions of SpecView the “address string” included the controller address, number of
decimal places to display and the register offset. As of version 3 these are now entered in separate fields
in SpecView which makes setting up instruments more straight forward.
Controller or Gateway Slave Address
For Modbus® TCP each controller or gateway is identified by its TCP/IP Address. EZ-ZONE controllers
and gateways will respond to any valid setting (1 to 247) for the Slave Address. It is not necessary to set
each device to a unique Modbus® address, but each must have a unique and appropriate IP address. See
the figure below.
Using Watlow Products with SpecView 6 Addendum to SpecView Manual

For Modbus® RTU specify the controller or gateway’s Modbus® Slave Address (1 to 247). This is set in

Address Example 1: Analog Input 1 in an EZ-ZONE ST via Modbus® RTU
For an EZ-ZONE ST communicating with SpecView directly (no gateway) via Modbus® RTU, use the
First Instance Address for the EZ-ZONE Analog Input, 360 to read analog input 1. If the controller’s
address on the 485 network is 2, set the following properties for the instrument:
• Slave Address: 2
• Offset: 360
Note that we must use data map 2 because data map 1 is not supported by SpecView for EZ-ZONE STs
without a gateway.
Address Example 2: Analog Input 2 in an EZ-ZONE ST via Modbus® RTU
For an EZ-ZONE Analog Input instrument supporting analog input 2 in the ST controller from example
1, set the following properties for the instrument:
• Slave Address: 2
• Offset: 450
Using Watlow Products with SpecView 9 Addendum to SpecView Manual
Page 10
The offset is 450 because 360 is the address for the first analog input and you add the offset, 90, to reach
• EZ-ZONE PM Controller
• EZ-ZONE ST Controller
• EZ-ZONE ST Profiling
the second input.
Address Example 3: EZ-ZONE PM Controllers via an EZ-ZONE RUI Gateway with
Modbus® TCP
Consider three EZ-ZONE PM controllers configured for data map 2 and connected to an EZ-ZONE RUI
Gateway with the local/remote gateway offsets set to 0, 4000 and 8000 respectively. To determine the
register address offset for an EZ-ZONE Set Points instrument to support the second control loop in the
third EZ-ZONE PM, locate the First Instance Address and the Instance Offset. These are 2640 and 80
respectively. Add these together for second control loop and add the gateway offset for the third
controller: 2640 + 80 + 8000 = 10720. So the register address offset is 10720. Set the following
properties for this instrument:
• TCP/IP Address or Hostname: 10.3.37.105
• Slave Address: 1
• Offset: 10720
Keep in mind that with Modbus® TCP the EZ-ZONE PM will respond to any slave address.
EZ-ZONE Modbus® Profile Instruments
The instruments supporting programming profiles include 10 steps each. Therefore, the instance offsets
indicated above are ten times the instance offsets indicated for the steps in the controller manuals.
Old EZ-ZONE Modbus® Instruments
The following instruments are included in the Watlow Modbus® instrument group, but are no longer
described in this document. They are not maintained or tested for use with later versions. They are
provided for backwards compatibility only.

The following procedure describes how to adjust the number of decimal places displayed in SpecView.
Note this procedure does not apply to EZ-ZONE controllers communicating with SpecView by Watlow
EZ-ZONE Standard Bus because with that protocol the decimal places are automatically displayed
according to the controller setting.
When communicating with F4T or EZ-ZONE controllers via Modbus® the Decimal Places setting in
SpecView determines the precision with which numbers are displayed; it does not shift the decimal
placement relative to the digits. For older Watlow controllers it is necessary to set the Decimal Places
setting according to the controller setting so that numbers are scaled correctly and not off by orders of
magnitude.

F4T and D4T Instruments
The following sections list the instruments that support F4T controllers and D4T data loggers.
Automatic Detection with the Watlow F4T & D4T Instrument Group
When automatically detecting a network with the Watlow F4T & D4T instrument group, SpecView
reads each controller’s part number and adds the appropriate instruments. When adding instruments
manually, refer to the table below which correlates F4T and D4T configuration codes with the
instruments that support the corresponding features. The table also lists the Offset setting, if required, for
each instrument.

Notes
1
With the exception of Variables (24) and Alarms (14) instruments which support variables 1 to 24 and alarms 1
to 14 respectively, each of these instruments supports a single function block. Set the address offset in the
instrument properties to the function block number you want. For example, for Counter 2, set the offset to 2.
EZ-ZONE Standard Bus Instruments
The tables in this section list the part number options for EZ-ZONE controllers correlating them with the
instruments that support the corresponding features. The tables also list the format of the addresses for
each instrument which are entered when configuring SpecView manually.
Addresses for Standard Bus EZ-ZONE Instruments
The addresses entered into SpecView for each instrument are the zone number (also known as standard
bus address) and, for some instruments, an offset. The tables indicate which instruments require the
offset.
Standard Bus instrument addresses consist of:
• “z” the Zone number or Standard Bus address (1 to 9, A, B, C, D, E, F, H or J)
• ; a semicolon when an offset is required
• the offset or instance number required for some instruments
Note: For the individual Function Block instruments the offset is shown as “o” in the Address column.
In place of the “o” enter the instance number of the function block. For example, for Alarm 7 in an RM
at zone 5 the Address is, “5;7”.

Watlow Assembly Instruments
These instruments support reading and setting floating point parameters with the minimum refresh time
by utilizing the communication assembly feature of the Watlow controllers. Each instrument has either
16 or 32 parameters named Value 1, Value 2, Value 3 on up to either Value 16 or Value 32. An
instrument is provided for either supported Modbus Word order (Low/High and High/Low.)
Floats - Block16 (High/Low)
Floats - Block16 (Low/High)
Floats - Block32 (High/Low)
Floats - Block32 (Low/High)
You will need to configure the communication assembly with the floating-point parameters in
contiguous address ranges of up to 16 or 32 values in the Watlow controller.
The first address you want to access with SpecView is the address Offset setting for the SpecView
instrument. The base address for the assembly is listed for each product in the table below. When using a
gateway be sure to account for the gateway offset when setting the address for the instrument.
Generic Modbus Instruments
For parameters accessible via Modbus® that are not supported by the instruments in the Watlow
instrument groups use these instruments from the Generic Modbus instrument group.
