The EZ-ZONE® PM takes the pain out of solving
your thermal loop requirements.
Watlow ’s E Z -Z ONE® PM controllers offer options
to reduce system complexity and the cost of controlloop ownership. You can order the EZ-ZONE® PM as
a PID controller or an over-under limit controller, or
you can combine both functions in the PM Integrated Limit Controller. You now have the option to integrate a high-amperage power controller output, an
over-under limit controller and a high-performance
PID controller all in space-saving, panel-mount
packages. You can also select from a number of serial communications options to help you manage system performance.
It just got a whole lot easier to solve the thermal requirements of your system. Because the EZZONE® PM controllers are highly scalable, you only
pay for what you need. So if you are looking for a
PID controller, an over-under limit controller or an
integrated controller, the EZ-ZONE® PM is the answer.

A Conceptual View of the PM
The flexibility of the PM’s 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 three
parts: inputs; procedures; and outputs. Information
flows from an input to a procedure to an output when
the controller is properly configured. A single PM
controller can carry out several procedures at the
same time, for instance closed-loop control, monitoring for several different alarm situations and operating switched devices, such as lights and motors.
Each process needs to be thought out carefully and
the controller’s inputs, procedures and outputs set up
properly.
Inputs
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 PM with digital input-output hardware
includes two sets of terminals 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 output with the Direction parameter in
the Digital Input/Output Menu (Setup Page).
The Function or EZ Key on the front panel of the
PM also operates as a digital input by toggling the
function assigned to it in the Digital Input Function
parameter in the Function Key Menu (Setup Page).
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 effect
outside of the controller, an output must be configured to respond to a function.
Outputs
Outputs can perform various functions or actions in
response to information provided by a function, such
as operating a heater; turning a light on or off; unlocking a door; or turning on a buzzer.
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, you might assign an output
to respond to alarm 4 (instance 4) or to retransmit
the value of analog input 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 events are internal states that are set by the
digital inputs. Digital input 5 provides the state of
input event 1, and digital input 6 provides the state
of input event 2. Wait for Event steps in profiles
are triggered by these events. The setting of Digital
Input Function (Setup Page, Digital Input/Output
Menu) does not change the relationship between the
input and the event, so take care not to configure the
function in a way that would conflict with a profile
that uses an input event. An input will still control
the input event state, even if Digital Input Function
is set to None.
Output events are internal states that can only be
set by profile steps. Outputs 1 through 4 can be configured to respond to output events.
Functions
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. 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).
The tabs on each side of the mounting collar have
teeth that latch into the ridges on the sides of the
controller. Each tooth is staggered at a different
depth from the front so that only one of the tabs,
on each side, is locked onto the ridges at a time.
case
1. Make the panel cutout using the mounting template dimensions in this chapter.
Insert the case assembly into the panel cutout.
2. While pressing the case assembly firmly against
the panel, slide the mounting collar over the back
of the controller.
If the installation does not require a NEMA 4X
seal, slide the mounting collar up to the back of
the panel tight enough to eliminate the spacing
between the gasket and the panel.
Note: There is a graduated measurement difference between
the upper and lower half of the display to the panel. In order to
meet the seal requirements mentioned above, ensure that the
distance from the front of the top half of the display to the panel
is 16 mm (0.630 in.) or less, and the distance from the front of
the bottom half and the panel is 13.3 mm (0.525 in.) or less.
Removing the Mounted Controller from Its Case
1. From the controller's face, pull out the tab on
each side until you hear it click.
Pull out the tab on each side
until you hear it click.
2. Once the sides are released, grab the unit above
and below the face with two hands and pull the
unit out.
If it is difficult to pull the unit out, remove the
connectors from the back of the controller. This
should make it easier to remove.
Grab the unit above and below
the face and pull forward.

Warning:
• This equipment is suitable for use in class 1, div. 2, Groups
A, B, C and D or Non-Hazardous locations only. Temperature
Code T4A.
• WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD. Substitution of component
may impair suitability for class 1, div. 2.
• WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD. Do not disconnect equip-
ment unless power has been switched off or the area is known
to be nonhazardous.
Slide the mounting collar over
the back of the controller.
Place the blade of a screwdriver in the notch of the
mounting collar assembly.
3. For a NEMA 4X (UL50, IP66) seal, place the
blade of a screwdriver in the notch of the mounting collar assembly and push toward the panel
while applying pressure to the face of the controller. Don't be afraid to apply enough pressure to
properly install the controller. The seal system is
compressed more by mating the mounting collar
tighter to the front panel (see pictures above). If
you can move the case assembly back and forth
in the cutout, you do not have a proper seal.
1. Ensure that the orientation of the controller is
correct and slide it back into the housing.
Note: The controller is keyed so if it feels that it will not
slide back in do not force it. Check the orientation again
and reinsert after correcting.
2. Using your thumbs push on either side of the controller until both latches click.
