set to 1 and [rloC] is set to 3, the available Pages

for a User without a password would be limited to

the Home and Factory Pages (locked level 1). If the

User password is entered all pages would be acces-

sible with the exception of the Setup Page as defined

by level 3 access.
How to Enable Password Security
Go to the Factory Page by holding down the Infinity
ˆ

key and the Advance

key for approximately six

seconds. Once there, push the Down ¯ key one time

to get to the [`loC] menu. Again push the Advance

key until the Password Enabled [pas;e] prompt

is visible. Lastly, push either the up or down key to

turn it on. Once on, 4 new prompts will appear:
1. [loC;l] , Locked Access Level (1 to 5) correspond

ing to the lockout table above.
2. [roll] , Rolling Password will change the Cus-

tomer Code every time power is cycled.
3. [pas;u] , User Password which is needed for a Us-

er to acquire access to the control.
4. [pas;a] , Administrator Password which is need-

ed to acquire administrative access to the control.
The Administrator can either change the User and

or the Administrator password or leave them in the

default state. Once Password Security is enabled they

will no longer be visible to anyone other than the

Administrator. As can be seen in the formula that

follows either the User or Administrator will need to

know what those passwords are to acquire a higher

level of access to the control. Back out of this menu

by pushing the Infinity ˆ key. Once out of the menu,

the Password Security will be enabled.
How to Acquire Access to the Control
To acquire access to any inaccessible Pages or

Menus, go to the Factory Page and enter the [UloC]

menu. Once there follow the steps below:
Note:
If Password Security (Password Enabled [pas;e]

is On) is enabled the two prompts mentioned below

in the first step will not be visible. If unknown,

call the individual or company that originally set-

up the control.
1. Acquire either the User Password [pas;u] or the

Administrator Password [pas;a].
2. Push the Advance

key one time where the Code

[Code] prompt will be visible.
Note:

a. If the the Rolling Password is off push the Ad-

vance key one more time where the Password

[pass] prompt will be displayed. Proceed to
either step 7a or 8a. Pushing the Up ¿ or Down

¯ arrow keys enter either the User or Adminis-

trator Password. Once entered, push and hold

the Infinity ˆ key for two seconds to return to

the Home Page.
b. If the Rolling Password [roll] was turned on

proceed on through steps 3 - 9.

3. Assuming the Code [Code] prompt (Public Key)

is still visible on the face of the control simply

push the Advance key

to proceed to the

Password

[ pass]

prompt. If not find your way

back to the Factory Page as described above.
4. Execute the calculation defined below (7b or 8b)

for either the User or Administrator.
5. Enter the result of the calculation in the upper

display play by using the Up ¿ and Down ¯ ar-

row

keys or use EZ-ZONE Confgurator

Software.
6. Exit the Factory Page by pushing and holding the

Infinity

ˆ

key for two seconds.

Formulas used by the User and the Administrator to

calculate the Password follows:
Passwords equal:
7. User
a. If Rolling Password [roll] is Off, Password

[pass] equals User Password [pas;u].
b. If Rolling Password [roll] is On, Password

[pass] equals:
([pas;u] x code) Mod 929 + 70
8. Administrator
a. If Rolling Password [roll] is Off, Password

[pass] equals Administrator Password
[ pas ;a ]

.

b. If Rolling Password [roll] is On, Password

[pass] equals:
([pas;a] x code) Mod 997 + 1000
Differences Between a User Without Password,
User With Password and Administrator
- User without a password is restricted by the

Locked Access Level [loC;l].
- A User with a password is restricted by the

Read Lockout Security [rloC] never having ac-

cess to the Lock Menu [`loC].
- An Administrator is restricted according to the

Read Lockout Security [rloC] however, the Ad-

ministrator has access to the Lock Menu where

the Read Lockout can be changed.

Modbus - Using Programmable Memory
Blocks

When using the Modbus protocol, the RMC module

features a block of addresses that can be configured

by the user to provide direct access to a list of 40

user configured parameters. This allows the user

easy access to this customized list by reading from or

writing to a contiguous block of registers.
