Watlow EZ-ZONE PM Integrated Controller - Manual (Page 149)

Watlow EZ-ZONE ® PM Integrated Controller • 146 • Chapter 9 Features
The PM8 is shown highlighted to bring greater clarity to the control in focus. Any EZ-ZONE device on the
network will appear in this window and would be available for the purpose of configuration or monitoring;
simply click on the control of choice. After doing so, the screen below will appear. In the screen shot below no-
tice that the device part number is clearly displayed at the top of the page (yellow highlight added for empha-
sis). When multiple EZ-ZONE devices are on the network it is important that the part number be noted prior
to configuring so as to avoid making unwanted configuration changes to another control. Looking closely at
the left hand column (Parameter Menus) notice that it displays all of the available menus and associated pa-
rameters within the control. The menu structure as laid out within this software follows:
- Setup - Operations - Factory - Profile
Navigating from one menu to the next is easy and clearly visible. Simply slide the scroll bar up or down to
display the menu and parameter of choice. If there is a need to bring greater focus and clarity to the pa-
rameters of interest simply click on the negative symbol next to any of the Menu items. As an example if it
is desired to work within the Operations page click the negative sign next to Setup where the Setup Page
will then collapse. Now click the plus sign next to Operations to find the menu items of choice without view-
ing unwanted menus and parameters. Once the focus is brought to an individual parameter (single click of
mouse) as is the case for Analog Input 1 in the left column; all that can be setup related to that parameter
will appear in the center column. The grayed out fields in the center column simply mean that this does not
apply for the type of sensor selected. As an example, notice that when a thermocouple is selected, RTD Leads
does not apply and is therefore grayed out. To speed up the process of configuration notice that at the bottom
of the center column there is an option to copy settings. If Analog Input 1 and 2 are the same type of sensor
click on "Copy Settings" where a copy dialog box will appear allowing for quick duplication of all settings. No-
tice too, that by clicking on any of those items in the center column that context sensitive help will appear for
that particular item in the right hand column.
Lastly, when the configuration is complete click the "Finish" button at the bottom right of the previous
screen shot. The screen that follows this action can be seen below.
