Warranty
The PM PLUS is manufactured by ISO 9001-registered processes and is backed by a three-year warranty to
the first purchaser for use, providing that the units have not been misapplied. Since Watlow has no control
over their use, and sometimes misuse, we cannot guarantee against failure. Watlow's obligations hereunder,
at Watlow's option, are limited to replacement, repair or refund of purchase price, and parts which upon
examination prove to be defective within the warranty period specified. This warranty does not apply to
damage resulting from transportation, alteration, misuse or abuse. The purchaser must use Watlow parts to
maintain all listed ratings.

Chapter 1: Overview
Introduction
Watlow’s PM PLUS™ has an intuitive interface with a smooth touch keypad for easy programming and read-
ability. This reduces complexity at the front of the control. Using Composer or Configurator is highly desir-
able to program the PM. The PM PLUS™ is compatible with legacy EZ-ZONE PM controllers and connects via
Bluetooth® to our EZ-LINK™ mobile app for remote access configuration and monitoring, if Bluetooth® was
ordered in the Part number.
The PM PLUS™ can be ordered as a PID controller or an integrated controller with multiple functions
combined. Look for the device configuration code on the product label to confirm which functional options are
included on your device. Upon power up, you can see the firmware revision and Bluetooth® logo, if enabled, on
the device display and if Bluetooth® is part of the Part number.

PM PLUS™ Operational Overview
The PM PLUS 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, check-
ing 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.

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.
List Description
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 List This is used prior to operation to set up equipment related settings such as input type
and output cycle time.
Profile List If equipped with this feature you will use this list to configure up to 4 profiles with up to
ten steps each.
Factory List This 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 se-
quence. 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.

Using Watlow Software to Configure Parameters

You can set up all parameters directly from the PM PLUS™ front panel via the Setup List, as explained
in this manual, or use Watlow CONFIGURATOR or COMPOSER on a PC. If you choose to use Watlow
CONFIGURATOR or COMPOSER software to set up the PM PLUS™ from your PC, you'll need to wire
communications (see Chapter 2). There are two ports (instances) for communications. Port 1 is dedicated
to Standard Bus communications. Port 1 may also be used for Modbus® RTU if purchased. Port 2 may be
used with Modbus®, DeviceNet, Ethernet/IP, J1939 CAN, or Profibus.
You will need the parameter IDs listed in the table: "Setup Lists" if you use Modbus® or another commu-
nication protocol to write to the PM PLUS™ from a configuration software. For detailed information about
Modbus®, CIP or Profibus addresses, and Data Types, refer to the "EZ-ZONE All Register List." on the
Watlow website.
Range selections can be made by writing the enumerated value of choice using any of the available commu-
nications protocols. For example, to turn an analog input sensor off (as seen at Operations — Setup — Ana-
log Input — Sensor Type) using Modbus®, write the value 62 (off) to register 368 and send that value to the
control. For complete instructions, refer to that software's user manual available on Watlow.com.

Saving and Restoring Settings

You can save two sets of settings on the PM PLUS. We recommend that you program the device, then verify
proper operation, then save the settings to the device memory.
Saving Settings to Device Memory

1. Go to Operations — Setup — Global — Save Settings As
2. Select User Set 1 or User Set 2. You can save two sets of configurations.
3. Saving the settings overwrites any previously saved collection of settings. Be sure to document all the
controller settings.
4. If the settings in the controller are altered you can return the controller to one of three settings: Set 1, Set
2, or Factory. Navigate to the Setup - Global to find the Restore SettingsFrom prompt.
5. A digital input or the Function Key can also be configured to restore parameters.
6. When restoring factory defaults, I/O assemblies for Modbus®, DeviceNet, Profibus and Ethernet along with
the zone address will be overwritten.
Reset Original Factory Settings

This sets all default configurations as shipped from the factory, according to your purchased configurations.
1. Go to Operations — Setup — Global — Restore SettingsFrom
2. Scroll to and select Factory.
The unit will reset after a restore from Factory is selected.
This reset only affects available defaults within the current configuration of the device.

Chapter 6: Profiles
You can configure up to four profiles in the PM PLUS. Once configured, you can start any of the four profiles
manually from the Operations - Profile list. You may wish to configure the function key to start a specific profile,
or set up a DIO to start a profile.
Setting Up Global Features

Some feature settings, once configured, apply to all profiles, e.g. if Guaranteed Soak is not enabled in the Global
List, this feature will not be available in any individual profile. These parameters apply to all profiles:
You must set up the globally applicable parameter settings prior to setting up individual profiles.
1. Navigate to Operations — Setup — Global

2. Select a parameter using the right arrow key, and select the desired option for that parameter. After selecting
the parameter, press the left back arrow to return to the Global List and choose the next parameter so you can
configure its options.
• Ramping Type can be Time or Rate, and defaults to Time. If set to time, the set point is ramped according to the
time interval selected (hours minutes, seconds). If set to rate, the set point is ramped by degrees/units per min-
ute.
• Profile Type can be Set Point or Process. This determines whether a step changing the set point of a profile be-
gins using the last closed-loop set point (Set Point). or the process value (Process)
• Guaranteed Soak Enable, when set to on is available in all profiles. If Guaranteed Soak Enable is on, use Guaran-
teed Soak Deviation 1 to 2 for the corresponding loop. Set the deviation or band above or below the working set
point where this condition must be met before the profile can proceed.
• Source Instance A and Source instance B refer to DIO 5 or 6, and are used in "Wait for Event" steps.
3. Press the Home icon to exit all Lists.
After the global profile features are configured, you can set up to four profiles.
Setting Up Profiles
After the Global features have been set up, you may set up Profile 1, then Profile instances [2,3,4].
1. Go to Operations — Profile — Profile 1 Step — Profile 1 Step 1 —
2. Select Step Type. Scroll to the desired Step Type and press right arrow to select. We recommend Time as the
first Step Type.
• Unused; step
• Unused; soak

3. Press the left back arrow to return to the Step Type 1 List. You'll note new parameters available, as ap-
plicable to the Step Type selected.
4. Select the newly available parameters for the selected Step Type. In this example with Time as the first
Step Type, you'll see Hours, Minutes, Seconds in the List now. Select each of these and set the number of
hours, minutes, or seconds required for Step 1.
5. Press the left back arrow to return to the Profile 1 List of steps, then repeat steps 2 and 3 for each of the
Profile Steps.

Chapter 8: Features
Autotune
When an autotune is performed on the PM PLUS™ the set point is used to calculate the tuning set point.
For example, if the active set point is 200° and Autotune Set Point is 90 percent, the autotune function uses
180° for tuning.
Autotuning calculates the optimum heating and/or cooling PID parameter settings based on the system's
response. The PID settings generated by the autotune will be used until the autotune feature is rerun, the
PID values are manually adjusted or TRU-TUNE+ is enabled.
Start Autotune
1. Navigate to: Operations
2. Scroll to select Yes.
3. Use the slider or +/- keys to set the set point for the tune.
4. Press the Home icon to return to the Home Screen.
WARNING! ç
During autotuning, the controller sets the output to 100 percent and attempts to drive the Process Value toward the
set point. Enter a set point and heat and cool power limits that are within the safe operating limits of your system.
Manual Tuning
In some applications, the autotune process may not provide PID parameters for the process characteristics
you desire. If that is the case, you may want to tune the controller manually.
1. Apply power to the controller and use the numeric slider or the +/- keys to select a set point for your
process.
2. Navigate to Operations — Setup - Control Loop, then scroll to and select Heat Proportional Band Heat
Prop. Band and/or Cool Proporational Band Cool Prop. Band, then use the numeric slider or +/- keys to
change the value to 25.
3. Press the Left Back Arrow to return to the Control Loop List, then scroll to and select Time Integral, then
use the numeric slider or +/- keys to change the time integral to 0.
4. Press the Left Back Arrow to return to the Control Loop List, then scroll to and select Time Derivative, then
use the numeric slider or +/- keys to change the time derivative to 0.
5. When the system stabilizes, watch the process value. If it fluctuates, double the Heat Proportional Band or
Cool Proportional Band value until it stabilizes, allowing time for the system to settle between adjustments.
6. When the process has stabilized, open Operations — Monitor and watch Heat Power or Cool Power. It
should be stable ±2%. At this point, the process temperature should also be stable, but it will have stabi-
lized before reaching the set point.
7. The difference between the set point and actual process value can be eliminated with Integral.
Watlow PM PLUS™ 6 • 77 • Chapter 8: Features

8. Start with an Integral value of 6,000 and allow 10 minutes for the process temperature to reach the set point.
If it has not, reduce the setting by half and wait another 10 minutes. Continue reducing the setting by half
every 10 minutes until the process value equals the set point. If the process becomes unstable, the Integral
value is too small. Increase the value until the process stabilizes.
TRU‑TUNE+®
The TRU-TUNE+ adaptive algorithm optimizes the controller's PID values to improve control of dynamic
processes. TRU-TUNE+ monitors the Process Value and adjusts the control parameters automatically to keep
your process at set point during set point and load changes. When in adaptive control mode, the controller
determines the appropriate output signal and, over time, adjusts control parameters to optimize responsive-
ness and stability. The TRU-TUNE+ feature does not function for on-off control.
The preferred and quickest method for tuning a loop is to establish initial control settings and continue with the
adaptive mode to fine tune the settings. Setting Control Mode to tune starts this two-step tuning process. This
predictive tune determines initial, rough settings for the PID parameters. Then the loop automatically switches
to the adaptive mode which fine tunes the PID parameters.
Once the Process Value has been at set point for a suitable period (about 30 minutes for a fast process to
roughly two hours for a slower process) and if no further tuning of the PID parameters is desired or needed,
TRU‑TUNE+™ may be turned off. However, keeping the controller in the adaptive mode allows it to automati-
cally adjust to load changes and compensate for differing control characteristics at various set points for
processes that are not entirely linear.
Once the PID parameters have been set by the TRU‑TUNE+ adaptive algorithm, the process, if shut down for
any reason, can be restarted in the adaptive control mode.
Enable TRU-TUNE+ only after autotune is complete. TRU-TUNE+ should be disabled before autotune is
initiated.
Turn TRU‑TUNE+ on or off

1. Navigate to Operations — Setup - Control Loop.
2. Select TRU-TUNE Enable
3. Scroll to select No or Yes.
Enable TRU-TUNE+ only after autotune is complete. It should be disabled before autotune is initiated.

Turn TRU‑TUNE+ on or off
1. Navigate to Operations — Setup - Control Loop.
2. Select TRU-TUNE Enable
3. Scroll to select No or Yes.
Set the TRU‑TUNE+ Band or Range

1. Navigate to Operations — Setup - Control Loop
2. Scroll to and Select TRU-TUNE+ Band
3. Set the range above and below the set point in which adaptive tuning will be active. Adjust this parameter
only in the unlikely event that the controller is unable to stabilize at the set point with TRU‑TUNE+ Band set
to auto (0). This may occur with very fast processes. In that case, set TRU‑TUNE+ Band to a large value,
such as 100.
Adjust Responsiveness of TRU-TUNE Adaptive Tuning

1. Navigate to Operations — Setup - Control Loop
2. Scroll to and select TRU-TUNE+ Gain
3. Select the setting desired. Settings range from 1: the most aggressive response and most potential over-
shoot (highest gain), to 6: the least aggressive response and least potential for overshoot (lowest gain).
The default setting, 3, is recommended for loops with thermocouple feedback and moderate response and
overshoot potential.
Input Features
Calibration Offset
Calibration offset allows a device to compensate for an inaccurate sensor, lead resistance or other factors
that affect the input value. A positive offset increases the input value, and a negative offset decreases the
input value. The input offset value can be viewed or changed with Calibration Offset (Operations — Setup -
Analog Input).
Before performing any calibration procedure, verify that the displayed readings are not within published
specifications by inputting a known value from a precision source to the analog input. Next, subtract the
displayed value with the known value and compare this difference to the published accuracy range
specification for that type of input.

Use Calibration Offset
Use of the Calibration Offset parameter shifts the readings across the entire displayed range by the offset
value. Use this parameter to compensate for sensor error or sensor placement error. Typically this value is
set to zero.
1. Navigate to Operations — Setup - Analog Input - Calibration Offset
2. Set the offset to the desired value.

Equipment required while performing calibration:

Obtain a precision source for millivolts, volts, milliamperes or resistance depending on the sensor type to
be calibrated. Use copper wire only to connect the precision source to the controller’s input. Keep leads
between the precision source and controller as short as possible to minimize error. In addition, a precision
volt/ohm meter capable of reading values to 4 decimal places or better is recommended. Prior to calibra-
tion, connect this volt/ohm meter to the precision source to verify accuracy. Actual input values do NOT have
to be exactly the recommended values, but it IS critical that the actual value of the signal connected to the
controller be accurately known to at least four digits.

Calibration of Analog Inputs
To calibrate an analog input, you will need to provide a source of two electrical signals or resistance values
near the extremes of the range that the application is likely to utilize. See recommended values below:
Sensor Type Precision Source Low Precision Source High

thermocouple 0.000 mV 50.000 mV
millivolts 0.000 mV 50.000 mV
volts 0.000V 10.000V
milliamps 0.000 mA 20.000 mA
100 Ω RTD 50.00 Ω 350.0 Ω
1,000 Ω RTD 500.0 Ω 3,500 Ω
thermistor 5 kΩ 50.00 5,000
thermistor 10 kΩ 150.0 10,000
thermistor 20 kΩ 1,800 20,000
thermistor 40 kΩ 1,700 40,000
potentiometer 0.000 1,200
You may only calibrate one sensor type. If the calibrator interferes with open thermocouple detec-
tion, set Sensor Type to millivolt instead of Thermocouple to avoid interference between the cali-
brator and open thermocouple detect circuit for the duration of the calibration process. Be sure to
set sensor type back to the thermocouple type utilized.
To select the sensor type go to Operations — Setup — Analog Input — Sensor Type.
The Electrical Measurement value is in the units selected. I.E. - millivolts, volts, milliamps, or ohms.
Calibrating Analog Inputs

1. Disconnect the sensor from the controller.
2. Record the Calibration Offset parameter value from Operations — Setup — Analog Input — Calibration
Offset, then set that value to zero.
3. Wire the precision source to the appropriate controller input terminals to be calibrated. Do not have any
other wires connected to the input terminals. Please refer to Installation and Wiring.
4. Ensure the controller sensor type is programmed to the appropriate Sensor Type to be utilized in
Operations — Setup — Sensor Type.
5. Enter Operations — Factory — Calibration and select the Calibration input instance to be calibrated. This
corresponds to the analog input to be calibrated.
6. Set Electrical Input Slope to 1.000 and Electrical Input Offset to 0.000 (this will cancel any prior user
calibration values).
7. Set the Precision Source to the low value on your external calibrator. Read Electrical Measurement value
of controller at Operations — Factory - Calibration — Electrical Measurement. This will be referred to as
Electrical Measured Low.

Record the low value ______________
1. Set the Precision Source to the High value on your external calibrator. Read Electrical Measurement value
of controller at Operations — Factory — Calibration — Electrical Measurement. This will be referred to as
Electrical Measured High. Record high value ______________.
2. Calculate the Electrical Input Slope = (Precision High – Precision Low) / (Electrical Measured High - Electri-
cal Measured Low)
Calculated Slope value ___________
3. Calculate the Electrical Input Offset = Precision Low - (Electrical Input Slope * Measured Low)
Calculated Offset value ___________
4. Enter the calculated Electrical Input Slope and Electrical Input Offset into the controller Operations — Fac-
tory — Calibration — Electrical Input Offset, then Operations — Factory — Calibration — Electrical Input
Slope.
5. Press the Home Icon to exit.
6. Validate the calibration process using a calibrator to the analog input.
7. Enter calibration offset as recorded in step 2 if required to compensate for sensor error.
Setting Electrical Input Slope to 1.000 and Electrical Input Offset to 0.000 restores factory calibration.
Filter Time Constant

Filtering smooths an input signal by applying a first-order filter time constant to the signal. Filtering the dis-
played value makes it easier to monitor. Filtering the signal may improve the performance of PID control in a
noisy or very dynamic system.

Adjust the filter time interval

1. Navigate to Operations — Setup - Analog Input - Filter
2. Select the filter time interval. Example: With a filter value of 0.5 seconds, if the process input value instantly
changes from 0 to 100 and remained at 100, the display will indicate 100 after five time constants of the filter
value or 2.5 seconds.
Sensor Backup
The sensor backup feature is only available in PM PLUS™ Integrated Limit or Remote Set Point controllers.
Check your product label to confirm that the configuration code shows L or M in the 9th digit: P M 6 _ _ _ _ _
[L,M] _ _ _ _ _
Sensor backup maintains closed-loop control after an input failure by switching control to input 2.
Turn sensor backup on or off

1. Go to Operations — Setup — Analog Input 1 — Sensor Backup — [Off/On]
2. Scroll to Off or On, press right arrow to select your choice.
3. Press the Home icon to exit.
When Sensor Backup is enabled the Process Value function automatically sets itself to Sensor Backup.
Set Minimum Set Point and Maximum Set Point

Set the minimum set point and maximum set point for the preferred mode of operation:
• Closed loop control
• Manual Power (open loop control)
• Limit, as part of an integrated control
Go to Operations — Setup — Control Loop — to enter the Minimum Set Point and Maximum Set Point.
Scale High and Scale Low

When an analog input is selected as process voltage or process current input, you must choose the low and
high values of voltage or current. For example, when using a 4 to 20 mA input, the scale low value would be
4.00 mA and the scale high value would be 20.00 mA. Commonly used scale ranges are: 0 to 20 mA, 4 to 20
mA, 0 to 5V, 1 to 5V and 0 to 10V.
You can create a scale range representing other units for special applications. You can reverse scales from
high values to low values for analog input signals that have a reversed action. For example, if 50 psi causes
a 4 mA signal and 10 psi causes a 20 mA signal.
Scale low and high low values do not have to match the bounds of the measurement range. These along
with range low and high provide for process scaling and can include values not measurable by the controller.
Regardless of scaling values, the measured value will be constrained by the electrical measurements of the
hardware.
Go to Operations — Setup — Analog Input — to select the desired values for Scale Low and Scale High.

Range High and Range Low
With a process input, you must choose a value to represent the low and high ends of the current or voltage
range. Choosing these values allows the controller’s display to be scaled into the actual working units of
measurement. For example, the analog input from a humidity transmitter could represent 0 to 100 percent
relative humidity as a process signal of 4 to 20 mA. Low scale would be set to 0 to represent 4 mA and high
scale set to 100 to represent 20 mA. The indication on the display would then represent percent humidity
and range from 0 to 100 percent with an input of 4 to 20 mA.
Go to Operations — Setup — Analog Input — to select the desired values for Range Low and Range High.
Remote Set Point

A remote set point can be received with two process inputs (analog or J1939), using a thermocouple, RTD,
1 k potentiometer or process signal at input 2 to establish the set point. A common application would use
one ramping controller with a set-point retransmit output to ramp multiple controllers using the remote set
point. Or you could use an analog output from a PLC to send set point values to a PM PLUS.
You may select between local and remote set points at the front panel, with an event input, from a remote
computer using the communications feature or from an external switch using an event input. Make sure all
input and output impedances are compatible.
1. Select the Remote Set Point Type by going to Operations — Setup — Control Loop — Remote Set Point
— Yes. (If No, the keypad is the active setpoint, and you can press Home to exit this setup list).
2. The Remote Setpoint Type parameters will display. Select Auto or manual
• If Auto, when Control Mode is Auto, the remote setpoint/analog input 2 is the active setpoint
• If manual, then when the control mode is manual, the remote setpoint is the percentage of power
3. Set Digital Input 5 or 6 with the function of switching to the remote set point by going to Operations —

• For this to function properly, ensure the following is set in Operations — Setup — Control Loop
• Remote Set Point must be No
• Remote Setpoint Type must be Auto
• Control Mode must be set to Auto
• When DIO 5 is shorted, the Remote Setpoint/Analog Input 2, will be the Active Setpoint
• When DIO 5 is opened, the Closed Loop Setpoint, will be the Active Setpoint.
4. Set the Function Key with the function of switching to the remote set point by going to Operations —
Setup — Function Key — Action Function.
• For this to function properly, ensure the following is set in Operations — Setup — Control Loop
• Remote Set Point must be No

• When the Function Key is pressed, the Remote Setpoint/Analog Input 2 will be the Active Setpoint.
• When the Function Key is pressed, the Closed Loop Setpoint will be the Active Setpoint.

Ten Point Linearization
The linearization function allows a user to re-linearize a value read from an analog input. There are 10 data

Output Point 1 is the minimum value that can be displayed, and Output Point 10 is the maximum
value that can be displayed. Consider setting Output Point 1 to the minimum operating range and
Output Point 10 to the maximum operating range for that sensor type.
Output Features
Duplex
Certain systems require that a single process output, control both heating and cooling outputs. A PM
PLUS™ with a process output can function as two separate outputs. With a 4 to 20mA output the heating
output will operate from 12 to 20mA (0 to +100 percent) and the cooling output will operate from 12 to 4mA
(0 to -100 percent).
In some cases this type of output is required by the device the PM PLUS™ controls, such as a three-way
valve that opens one way with a 12 to 20mA signal and opens the other way with a 4 to 12mA signal. This
feature reduces the overall system cost using a single output to act as two outputs.
Outputs 1 and 3 can be ordered as process outputs. Select duplex as the Output Function (Setup Page,
Output Menu). Set the output to volts or milliamps with Type. Set the range of the process output with Scale
Low and Scale High.
NO-ARC Relay
A NO-ARC relay provides a significant improvement in the life of the output relay over conventional relays.
Conventional mechanical relays have an expected life of 100,000 cycles at the rated full-load current. The
shorter life for conventional relays is due to the fact that when contacts open while current is flowing metal
degradation occurs. This action produces unavoidable electrical arcing causing metal to transfer from one
contact to the other. The arcing conditions continue on each subsequent contact opening until over time the
resistance through the contacts increases causing the contacts to increase in temperature. Eventually, the
contacts will weld together and the relay remains in the on state.
The Watlow NO-ARC relay is a hybrid that uses a mechanical relay for the current load and a triac (solid-
state switch) to carry the turn-on and turn-off currents. NO-ARC relays extend the life of the relay more than

two million cycles at the rated full-load current.
Although a NO-ARC relay has significant life advantages, a few precautions must be followed:
Do not use:
• Hybrid relays for limit contactors. A limit or safety device must provide a positive mechanical break on all hot
legs simultaneously
• DC loads with hybrid relays. The triacs used for arc suppression will turn off only with ac line voltage
• Hybrid switches to drive any inductive loads, such as relay coils, transformers or solenoids
• Cycle times less than five seconds on hybrid switches
• On loads that exceed 264V ac through relay
• On loads that exceed 15 amperes load
• On loads less than 100mA
• NO-ARC relays in series with other NO-ARC relays
Retransmitting a Process Value or Set Point

Applicable on models with a Universal Process output 1 and 3. Check your product label to confirm the configu-
ration code shows F in the 6th or 10th digit: PM _ _ _ [F] _ - _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ .
The retransmit feature allows a process output to provide an analog signal that represents the set point or
process value. The signal may serve as a remote set point for another controller or as an input for a chart
recorder documenting system performance over time.
Outputs 1 and 3 can be ordered as process outputs. To configure these outputs, go to Operations — Setup
— Output — Output [1,3] — Function — and select Retransmit. Set the output to volts or milliamps with
Type. Select the signal to retransmit with Retransmit Source. Set the range of the process output with Scale
Low and Scale High. Scale the retransmit source to the process output with Range Low and Range High.
In choosing the type of retransmit signal, consider the input impedance of the device to be retransmitted
to and the required signal type, either voltage or milliamps. Typically applications might use the retransmit
option to record one of the variables with a chart recorder or to generate a set point for other controls in a
multi-zone application.
When the retransmit source is at the Range Low value, the retransmit output will be at its Scale Low value.
When the retransmit source is at the Range High value, the retransmit output will be at its Scale High value.

Cool Output Curve
A nonlinear output curve may improve performance when the response of the output device is nonlinear. If a
cool output uses one of the nonlinear curves a PID calculation yields a lower actual output level than a linear
output would provide. These output curves are used in plastics extruder applications: curve A for oil-cooled
extruders and curve B for water-cooled extruders.
To configure a cool output curve, go to Operations — Setup — Control Loop and select Cool Output Curve.

in the 9th digit: PM _ _ _ _ _ - _ [L,M] _ _ _ _ _.
On Limit models, output 4 is a Form A (normally open) Mechanical Relay and it is internally tied to the limit
function. When the limit is in a safe state the internal coil for this relay is energized, and the relay will be
closed. When a condition causes the limit to trip, the internal coil de-energizes, causing the relay to latch
open. When the condition that caused the limit to trip is within the limit range, plus the hysteresis value; the
relay remains latched open until manually reset by an operator.
Reset a Tripped Limit (Use one of these four methods)

1. When at the Home Page, and a Limit condition occurs; then "Attention Limit" will appear. It will also state
"Press Home to Request Clear".
2. Set Source Function A to the device that will reset the limit (Digital I/O or Function Key).
3. Use a field bus protocol, i.e., Modbus®, EtherNet/IP™, etc. and write a value of zero to the associated
address (navigate to the Operations List — and look for Clear Limit under the Limit Menu to find
appropriate address).
4. Cycle the power to the controller.

Control Methods
Output Configuration
Each controller output can be configured as a heat output, a cool output, an alarm output or deactivated. No
dependency limitations have been placed on the available combinations. The outputs can be configured in
any combination. For instance, all three could be set to cool.
Heat and cool outputs use the set point and Operations parameters to determine the output value. All heat
and cool outputs use the same set point value. Heat and cool each have their own set of control parameters.
All heat outputs use the same set of heat control parameters and all cool outputs use the same set of cool
output parameters.
Each alarm output has its own set of configuration parameters and set points, allowing independent opera-
tion.
Auto (closed loop) and Manual (open loop) Control

The controller has three modes of operation: auto, manual, and off.
Auto mode allows the controller to decide whether to perform closed-loop control or to follow the settings
of Input Error Failure. The manual mode only allows open-loop control. The PM PLUS™ is normally used in
the auto mode. The manual mode is usually only used for specialty applications or for troubleshooting.
Manual mode is open-loop control that allows the user to directly set the power level to the controller’s out-
put load. No adjustments of the output power level occur based on temperature or set point in this mode.
Off deactivates the control loop and all outputs attached to the control loop are turned off.
In auto mode, the controller monitors the input to determine if closed-loop control is possible. The
controller checks to make certain a functioning sensor is providing a valid input signal. If a valid input signal
is present, the controller will perform closed-loop control. Closed-loop control uses a process sensor to
determine the difference between the process value and the set point. Then the controller applies power to a
control output load to reduce that difference. If a valid input signal is not present, the controller will indicate
an input error message on the Home Screen and respond to the failure according to the setting of Input
Error Failure. You can configure the controller to perform a bumpless transfer, switch power to output a
preset fixed level, or turn the output power off.
Selecting Auto or Manual Control Mode:

1. Go to Operations — Setup — Control Loop —
2. Scroll to and select Control Mode
3. Select the desired mode: Auto or Manual or Off
This change takes effect immediately.
Bumpless Transfer
Bumpless transfer allows the controller to transfer to manual mode using the last power value calculated
in auto mode if the process had stabilized at a ±5 percent output power level for the time interval or 10
seconds, (whichever is longer) prior to sensor failure, and that power level is less than 75 percent. Reverse
Bumpless functionality will take effect when the control is changed from Manual to Auto mode. The con-
trol will preload the Manual Power value into the Integral and Proportional Terms, which will allow for a
bumpless transition. The normal PID action will then take over to control the output to the Set Point value.

Reverse bumpless ignores the transition from Off to Auto.

Input Error Latching (Operations — Setup -— Analog Input — [on,off]) determines the controller’s response
once a valid input signal returns to the controller.
• If latching is on, the controller will indicate an input error until the error is cleared. To clear a latched
alarm, press the Home icon as indicated on the screen.
• If latching is off, the controller will automatically clear the input error and return to reading the temper-
ature. If the controller was in the auto mode when the input error occurred, it will resume closed-loop
control.
• If the controller was in manual mode when the error occurred, the controller will remain in open-loop
control. The Manual Control Indicator Light % is on when the controller is operating in manual mode.
On-Off Control
On-off control switches the output either full on or full off, depending on the input, set point and hysteresis
values.
The hysteresis value indicates the amount the process value must deviate from the set point to turn on the
output. Increasing the value decreases the number of times the output will cycle. Decreasing hysteresis
improves controllability. With hysteresis set to 0, the process value would stay closer to the set point, but
the output would switch on and off more frequently, and may result in the output “chattering.”
On-off control can be selected with Heat Algorithm (Operations — Setup - Control Loop - Heat Algorithm) or
Cool Algorithm (Operations — Setup - Control Loop - Cool Algorithm). Then, On/Off hysteresis can be set at
Operations — Setup - Control Loop - On/Off Heat Hyster. or Operations — Setup - Control Loop - On/Off Cool
Hyster..
Input Error failure mode does not function in on-off control mode. The output goes off.

Time Time
Proportional and (P) Control

Some processes need to maintain a temperature or process value closer to the set point than on-off control
can provide. Proportional control provides closer control by adjusting the output when the temperature or
process value is within a proportional band. When the value is in the band, the controller adjusts the output
based on how close the process value is to the set point. The closer the process value is to the set point, the
lower the output power. This is similar to backing off on the gas pedal of a car as you approach a stop sign.
It keeps the temperature or process value from swinging as widely as it would with simple on-off control.
However, when the system settles down, the temperature or process value tends to “droop” short of the set
point.
With proportional control, the output power level equals the set point minus the process value divided by
proportional band times 100. In an application with one output assigned to heating and another assigned
to cooling, each will have a separate proportional parameter. The heating parameter takes effect when the
process temperature is lower than the set point, and the cooling parameter takes effect when the process
temperature is higher than the set point.
Adjust the proportional band with Heat Proportional Band or Cool Proportional Band (Operations — Setup -
Control Loop).

Proportional and Integral (PI) Control

The droop caused by proportional control can be corrected by adding integral (reset) control. When the
system settles down, the integral value is tuned to bring the temperature or process value closer to the set
point. Integral determines the speed of the correction, but this may increase the overshoot at startup or
when the set point is changed. Too much integral action will make the system unstable. Adjust the integral
with Time Integral (Operations — Setup - Control Loop).
Proportional, Integral and Derivative (PID) Control
Use derivative (rate) control to minimize the overshoot in a PI-controlled system. Derivative (rate) adjusts
the output based on the rate of change in the temperature or process value. Too much derivative (rate) will
make the system sluggish. Adjust the derivative with Time Derivative td (Operations Page, Loop Menu).

Dead Band
In a PID application the dead bands above and below the set point can save an application’s energy and wear
by maintaining process temperature within acceptable ranges.
Proportional action ceases when the process value is within the dead band. Integral action continues to
bring the process temperature to the set point. Using a positive dead band value keeps the two systems from
fighting each other.
When the dead band value is zero, the heating output activates when the temperature drops below the set
point, and the cooling output switches on when the temperature exceeds the set point.

Variable Time Base

Variable time base is the preferred method for controlling a resistive load, providing a very short time base
for longer heater life. Unlike phase-angle firing, variable-time-base switching does not limit the current and
voltage applied to the heater. With variable time base outputs, the PID algorithm calculates an output be-
tween 0 and 100%, but the output is distributed in groupings of three ac line cycles. For each group of three
ac line cycles, the controller decides whether the power should be on or off. There is no fixed cycle time
since the decision is made for each group of cycles. When used in conjunction with a zero cross (burst fire)
device, such as a solid-state power controller, switching is done only at the zero cross of the ac line, which
helps reduce electrical noise (RFI). Variable time base should be used with solid-state power controllers,
such as a solid-state relay (SSR) or silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) power controller. Do not use a variable
time base output for controlling electromechanical relays, mercury displacement relays, inductive loads or
heaters with unusual resistance characteristics.

100 percent output

The combination of variable time base output and a solid-state relay can inexpensively approach the effect
of analog, phase-angle fired control. Select the AC Line Frequency at Operations — Setup - Global - AC Line

Single Set Point Ramping

Ramping protects materials and systems that cannot tolerate rapid temperature changes. The value of the
ramp rate is the maximum degrees per minute or hour that the system temperature can change.
Select Ramp Action (Operations — Setup - Control Loop - Ramp Action):
• Off ramping not active.
• Start ramp at startup.
• Set Point ramp at a set point change.
• both ramp at startup or when the set point changes.
Once the Ramp Action is selected, you can go back to the Control Loop List and select whether the rate is in
degrees per minute or degrees per hour at Operations — Setup - Control Loop - Ramp Scale and then set the
ramping rate at Operations — Setup - Control Loop - Ramp Rate

Compressor Control
The PM PLUS can be configured for Compressor control with two loops of control and enhanced firmware,
as frequently used for cooling and/or dehumidification. The application may have one or two loops of con-
trol that utilize the compressor for cooling and/or dehumidification (negative power levels). Because the
compressor is a mechanical device, it is desirable to minimize unwanted starts and stops. Either loop can
attempt to start or stop the compressor, but this algorithm will determine when it should or should not run.
Because you may not turn the compressor off until the loop is in the heat or humidify region, the input val-
ues (Source Function A and B) to the compressor algorithm must be loop power (+/- 100%).
The compressor turns on and off under the following conditions:
Loop 1 Loop 2
Off - When Source A Value >= Input A Turn Off Off - When Source B Value >= Input B Turn Off
On - When Source A Value <= Input A Turn On On - When Source B Value <= Input B Turn On
To prevent unwanted on/off cycling and compressor wear, set the Minimum On Time and Minimum Off Time
for the compressor.
The Time Delay setting is used to avoid having the compressor remain on indefinitely if the loop control
modes are set to off, such as when a profile ends. The rule for the Time Delay setting follows:
Off - Source A Value and Source B Value = 0.0% for a period longer than Time Delay

Differential Control
The PM can be configured for Differential Control with two inputs and enhanced firmware. After configuring
the appropriate inputs and their associated internal functions Differential Control allows the PM to drive an
output based on the difference between those analog inputs. See Application examples.
Ratio Control
The PM PLUS can be configured for Ratio control with two inputs and enhanced firmware, especially useful
in applications that mix materials. Ratio control is commonly used to ensure that two or more flows are kept
at the same ratio even if the flows are changing. See Application examples.
Duplex Control
Certain systems require that a single process output controls both heating and cooling outputs. A PM PLUS
with a process output can function as two separate outputs.
With a 4 to 20mA output the heating output, for instance, will operate from 12 to 20mA (0 to +100%) and
the cooling outputs will operate from 12 to 4mA (0 to -100%). In some cases this type of output is required
by the device, such as a three-way valve that opens one way with a 12 to 20mA signal and opens the other
way with a 4 to 12mA signal. This feature reduces the overall system cost using a single output to act as two
outputs.

Motorized Valve Control

A motorized valve is used is to regulate the flow of fluid which in turn impacts the loop process value. A
valve is opened or closed by closing contacts to drive the value in the intended direction.
Timer Function
Applicable on models with a countdown timer. Check your product label to confirm the configuration code shows
T in the 4th digit: PM _ T _ _ _ - _ _ _ _ _ _ _.

The timer feature is only available for control loop 1 of two-loop controllers. Time is entered in
hours, minutes and seconds. Countdown time will use the entered time but display the time remain-
ing in either hh:mm or mm:ss format, based on your settings. The colon pulses in one-second inter-
vals during a countdown, to indicate that timing is underway. Parameters that appear on the Home
Screen have the number 1 at the end of the displayed parameter. As an example, hour in Operations
— Setup - Timer will be displayed as hour1 on the Home Screen.
When Timer Enable is set to yes and the timer is started, the controller switches from Set Point to Closed
Loop Timer Set Point. You have four options for the start method: immediate, ready band, ready acknowl-
edge, and power. Refer to "Setting Up the Timer Function" for details.
If the timer is interrupted, the timer is terminated and the time remaining is reset to its initial value.
Go to Operations — Setup — Output — [Output 1, Output 2] — Function — to assign an output function to
Timer Event Output 1, Timer Event Output 2 or Timer Event Output 3. Timer Event Output 1 is active during
timing, Timer Event Output 2 is deactivated during timing and Timer Event Output 3 produces a pulse at the
end of the timing sequence. These signals may be used to monitor timer activity. Process outputs may not
be assigned to Timer Event Outputs.
Setting up the Timer Function

1. Go to Operations — Setup — Timer.
2. Press the right arrow key to select Timer Enable , then select Yes.
3. Left back arrow to return to the Setup — Timer list.
4. Scroll to and select Timer Start Method then select the desired option:.
• Immediate, the timer starts as soon as the counter is initiated. When Time Remaining equals zero, the set
point changes from Closed Loop Timer Set Point back to Set Point. A flashing colon 00:00 indicates that a
countdown is in progress.
• Ready Band, the set point changes and when the temperature is within ready band, the ready band icon
lights up and the countdown timer starts and continues as long as the temperature is within the ready band.
When Time Remaining equals zero, the set point changes from Closed Loop Timer Set Point back to Set
Point. A flashing colon 00:00 indicates that a countdown is in progress.
• Ready Acknowledge, the set point changes, and when the temperature is within the ready band, the ready
band icon lights up. The user must then acknowledge (you define which key combination for this) that the
countdown timer should start and continue as long as the temperature is within the ready band. When Time
Remaining equals zero, the set point changes from Closed Loop Timer Set Point back to Set Point. A flashing
colon 00:00 indicates that a countdown is in progress.
• Power, the timer starts when the controller is turned on. When Time Remaining equals zero, the set point
changes from Closed Loop Timer Set Point back to Set Point. A flashing colon 00:00 indicates that a count-
down is in progress.

Alarms
Alarms are activated when the output level, process value or temperature leaves a defined range. A user can
configure how and when an alarm is triggered, what action it takes and whether it turns off automatically
when the alarm condition is over. Configure alarm outputs in the Setup Page before setting alarm set points.
Alarms do not have to be assigned to an output. Alarms can be monitored and controlled through the front
panel or using software.
Process and Deviation Alarms

A process alarm uses one or two absolute set points to define an alarm condition. A deviation alarm uses
one or two set points that are defined relative to the set point used by the control loop. High and low alarm
set points are calculated by adding or subtracting offset values from the set point used by the control loop.
If the set point changes, the window defined by the alarm set points automatically moves with it. Select the
type with Type (Setup Page, Alarm Menu).
Set Points
The high set point defines the process value or temperature that will trigger a high side alarm. The low set
point defines the temperature that will trigger a low side alarm. For deviation alarms, a negative set point
represents a value below set point used by the control loop. A positive set point represents a value above
the set point used by the control loop. View or change alarm set points with Low Set Point and High Set
Point (Operations Page, Alarm Menu).

Hysteresis
An alarm state is triggered when the process value reaches the high or low set point. Hysteresis defines
how far the process must return into the normal operating range before the alarm can be cleared.
Hysteresis is a zone inside each alarm set point defined by adding the hysteresis value to the low set point
or subtracting the hysteresis value from the high set point.
To view or change hysteresis Operations — Setup — Alarm — Alarm [1,2,3,4] — Hysteresis — and enter the
value to be added to the low set point, or subtracted from the high set point.

Latching
A latched alarm will remain active after the alarm condition has passed. An active message, such as an

Home key to silence the active message.
An alarm that is not latched (self-clearing) will deactivate automatically when the alarm condition has
passed.

Silencing Alarms
If silencing is on you can disable the alarm output while the controller is in an alarm state. The process
value or temperature has to enter the normal operating range beyond the hysteresis zone to activate the
alarm output function again. An active message, such as an alarm message, will cause the display to toggle
between the normal settings and the active message on the Home screen display.
To enable alarm silencing, go to Operations — Setup — Alarm — Alarm [1,2,3,4] — Silencing — [Off,On],
NOTE: If silence is on, and you silence with Home Key, the message is cleared, but the warning
symbol remains.
Blocking Alarms
Blocking allows a system to warm up after it has been started up. With blocking on, an alarm is not trig-
gered when the process temperature is initially lower than the low set point or higher than the high set
point. The process temperature has to enter the normal operating range beyond the hysteresis zone to
activate the alarm function. If the PM PLUS has an output that is functioning as a deviation alarm, the alarm
is blocked when the set point is changed, until the process value re-enters the normal operating range.
To enable alarm silencing, go to Operations — Setup — Alarm — Alarm [1,2,3,4] — Blocking — and then
select the desired blocking option: [Off,Startup,Set Point,Both],
Current Sensing
The measurements taken for current sensing use the AC Line Frequency setting found at Operations —
Global — AC Line Frequency — [50Hz,60Hz]. If this setting does not represent the incoming line frequency
of this controller the readings will be in error and may appear to be frozen.
If an alarm is configured to monitor current, the low alarm is effective only when the current level is
equal to or greater than 2mA. If there is no current present, the low alarm will not be activated.
Open and Shorted Load Circuit Detection

A Current Error C.Er (Operations Page, Current Menu) can detect either an open or shorted load condition.
A shorted condition would be present if the control is calling for 0% power while current is detected as
flowing through the current transformer. Conversely, an open condition would be present when the control
is calling for power with no current flow detected through the transformer.
A Heater Error indicates if the load current flow is within the specified limits set by the user through the
Current Set Points (High Set Point and Low Set Point) at Operations — Current.
Read and monitor the real-time current level through the Load Current RMS prompt while the most recent
faults can be read via the Current Error and Heater Error prompts. All of these prompts can be found in the
Operations Page under the Current Menu.

CT Application NOTE: Alarms have to point to the correct source for the current measurement. We
have one measurement that is sampled and held CU.r. Since this is a zero cross device, in zero cross
the current is going to 0 each time the output is turned off. We also calculate an Current RMS value
that takes into account on time versus off time. Be sure alarms are pointed to the current that is
sampled and held or anytime the PID power gets low like less than 2%, the alarm will activate or if
the outputs are off such as control mode set to OFF.
Open Loop Detection

When Open Loop Detection is enabled, the controller will look for the power output to be at 100%. Once
there, the control will then begin to monitor the Open Loop Detect Deviation as it relates to the value entered
for the Open Loop Detect Time. If the specified time period expires and the deviation does not occur, an
Open Loop Error will be triggered. Once the Open Loop Error condition exists the control mode will go off
and an Open Loop message will be display. If the process value goes in the opposite direction, a Reversed
Loop message is displayed. The sensor is likely wired in reverse polarity.
All prompts identified in this section can be found in the Loop Menu of the Setup Page.
Programming the Function Key

1. Go to Operations — Setup — Function Key — Active Level — [High,Low] and use the right arrow key to

1. Press the Home icon to exit
NOTE: If you use Set or Read Lock Levels to secure lists on the device, all settings can be modified
by anyone who can find their way to the Set Lock Level or Read Lock Level parameters.
Passwords
Enabling passwords provides an additional layer of security. With passwords enabled, you select a Lock
Level defining what users can view or set prior to entering a password. Then when the user enters the
password, the user has the permissions as were set in the Read Lock and Set Lock security Levels.
Enabling Passwords
Before you enable passwords, note that it is vital you save the password for future use in accessing
restricted Lists. You must determine a safe place to store your passwords outside of the device.
1. Go to Operations — Factory — Lock

2. Scroll to and select Password Enable, then select On.
3. Press the Left Arrow to go back to the Lock list, then scroll to select Locked Access Level.
4. Use the slider to select the Locked Access Level [1-5], which defines what users have access to prior to
entering a password. Refer to the Security Lock Levels table.
5. (This step is optional, and not recommended in most scenarios) Press the Left Arrow to go back to Fac-
tory - Lock, then scroll to Rolling Password and select Off or On. This configures the device to change a
Public Key Code every time power is cycled. This public key code is then used in a formula along with the
user or admin password to discern the real time password for the device.
Rolling Password Formula for user passwords: (Password x Public Key) Mod 929 + 70
Rolling Password Formula for admin passwords: (Password x Public Key) Mod 997 + 1000.
6. Press the Left Arrow to go back to the Lock list, then scroll to select User Password.
7. Use the numeric slider to set the password. The default is 63, which you can keep or change. Be sure to
make note of this number and save it somewhere outside the device for future use.
This takes effect after a power cycle.
Once in effect, users must enter this password to gain access to the device beyond the Locked Ac-
cess Level set in step 4. After the password is entered, they will be subjected to the Read and Set Lock
Levels configured separately in Read Lock and Write Security (Refer to "Changing List Set Lock
and Read Lock Levels").
8. Press the Left Arrow to go back to the Lock list, then scroll to select Administrator Password. This is the
password you will need if you wish to change any future user passwords.
9. Use the numeric slider or +/- keys to set the password. The default is 156, which you can keep or change.

1. Be sure to make note of this number and save it somewhere outside the device for future use.
Accessing the Device with Passwords Enabled

1. Go to Operations — Factory and select Unlock.

Modbus® - Using Programmable Memory Blocks

When using the Modbus® RTU or Modbus® TCP protocols, the PM control 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.
See Appendix: Modbus Programmable Memory Blocks
When the Modbus® address of a target parameter is stored in an "Assembly Definition Address" its corre-
sponding working address returns that parameter’s value. If it’s a writable parameter, writing to its working
register will change the parameter value.
As an example, Modbus® register 360 represents the Analog Input 1 Process Value (See Operations —
Analog Input). If the value 360 is loaded into Assembly Definition Address 90 and value 361 is loaded into
Assembly Definition Address 91, the process value sensed by analog input 1 will also be stored in Modbus®
registers 250 and 251. Notice that by default this parameter is also stored in working registers 240 and 241
as well.
When modifying the Modbus® Assembly registers, single register writes (function 06) are not al-
lowed. Multiple register writes (function 16) must be used to modify the assembly.
The "Assembly Definition Addresses and Assembly Working Addresses" table reflects the assemblies and
their associated addresses.

CIP Communications: DeviceNet or EtherNet/IP
Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) is used to collect data, configure, and control the PM PLUS. CIP is an
open protocol at the application layer fully managed by the Open DeviceNet Vendors Association (ODVA,
http://www.odva.org). EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet use the same addressing scheme. EtherNet/IP is a network
communication standard capable of handling large amounts of data at speeds of 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, and
at up to 1,500 bytes per packet. It makes use of standard off-the-shelf Ethernet chip sets and the currently
installed physical media (hardware connections). DeviceNet can communicate at 125, 250 and 500 kilobytes
per second with a maximum limitation of 64 nodes (0 to 63) on the network.
For implicit communications (real time I/O messaging) using a PLC, configure the PM PLUS™ assembly size
into the I/O structure of the PLC (See: CIP Implicit Assemblies Structures). The assembly structures can be
changed.
For explicit communications (information/configuration messaging), you'll need to use specific addressing
information. DeviceNet requires the node address; EtherNet/IP requires the Class, Instance and Attribute.
• Node address or MAC ID (0 - 63, DeviceNet only)
• Class ID (1 to 255)
• Instance ID (0 to 255)
• Attribute ID (1 to 255)
The PM PLUS™ does not support connected explicit messages but fully supports unconnected explicit
messaging.
NOTE: The maximum number of implicit input/output members using DeviceNet is 40. When using
EtherNet/IP the maximum is 40.
CIP Implicit Assemblies

PM PLUS™ may be purchased with DeviceNet or EtherNet/IP communications cards. Reading or writing
when using CIP is accomplished via explicit and or implicit communications. Explicit communications are
usually executed via a message instruction within the PLC but there are other ways to do this as well outside
of the focus of this document.
Implicit communications is also commonly referred to as polled communications. When using implicit com-
munications there is an I/O assembly that would be read or written to. The default assemblies and the as-
sembly size is embedded into the firmware of the PM control. Watlow refers to these assemblies as the
T to O (Target to Originator) and the O to T (Originator to Target) assemblies where the Target is always the
controller and the Originator is the PLC or master on the network. The size of the O to T assembly is ini-
tially set to 40 (32-bit) members where the T to O assembly consists of 40 (32-bit) members. All assembly
members are user configurable with the exception of the first T to O member. The first member of the T to
O assembly is called the Device Status, it is unique and cannot be changed. If the module has been properly
configured when viewing this 32-bit member in binary format bits 12 and 16 should always be set to 1 where
all of the other bits should be 0. All other members that follow Device Status are user
configurable.
If the control is brought back to the factory default CIP Implicit Assembly Structures the user
configured assemblies will be overwritten.

Compact Assembly Class
Along with the standard implicit assembly where each module parameter (member) occupies one 32-bit as-
sembly location, there is also a Compact Class assembly. The need for the Compact Class assembly members
became apparent as the number of member instances grew with the EZ-ZONE family of controls. Because there
is a limited number of implicit assembly members (40 input, 40 output), the Compact Class enables the user
to modify the standard assembly offering to their liking while also achieving much better utilization of each bit
within the 32-bit member. As an example, if a standard Implicit Assembly member were configured to monitor
Alarm State 1, the entire 32-bit member would be consumed where just 7 bits out of the 32 represent: Startup
(88), None (61), Blocked (12), Alarm Low (8), Alarm High (7) or Error (28). With Compact Class assembly
member 12 (identified in this document as "12 A, Alarm Read") in use, the alarm states of all 4 alarms can be
placed in one 32-bit assembly member using just 2 bits for each state. Bits 0 and 1 would represent Alarm State
1, bits 2 and 3 Alarm State 2, etc... Each pair of 2 bits can represent the following states: 00 = None, 01 = Alarm
Low, 10 = Alarm High and 11 = Other. There is a variety of predefined Compact Class members that can be used
(See Appendix: Compact Class Assembly Structure) to modify the default implicit assemblies.
As is the case with any available parameter within the PM control, the Compact Class members can also
be read or written to individually via an explicit message as well.
Modifying Implicit Assembly Members

To change any given member of either assembly (T to O or O to T) simply write the new class, instance and
attribute (CIA) to the member location of choice. As an example, if it were desired to change the 14th member
of the T to O assembly from the default parameter (Cool Power) to the Compact Class 12th member (See Ap-
pendix: Compact Class Assembly Structure) write the value of 0x71, 0x01 and 0x0C (Class, Instance and Attri-
bute respectively) to 0x77, 0x02 and 0x0D. Once the change is executed, reading this member location (as was
discussed above) will return the Alarm States (1-4) to paired bits 0 through 7 where 00 = None, 01 = Alarm Low,
10 = Alarm High and 11 = Other. The CIP communications instance will always be instance 2.
PCCC - (Programmable Controller Communications Com-

mands)
This protocol is typically used with older Allen Bradley programmable controllers capable of PLC-5 compatibility.
The PM PLUS™ has 2 assemblies; one for input (O to T), and the other for output (T to O). As viewed and
accessed using Rockwell software, these PM PLUS™ assemblies can be identified as N11:0 (O to T) and N10:0
(T to O).
Refer to the Appendix: CIP Implicit Assembly Structures.
Example: If an ML1100 is used to write a new Set Point to the PM PLUS, a message instruction needs to be setup within
the PLC to send a floating point value to N11:2. Likewise, if you want to read the Analog Input Value from the PM PLUS™
(from the PLC), a message instruction would need to be set up to read register N10:1 and then handled appropriately within
the PLC because this is a floating point value in the PM controller.
Most, if not all older PLCs support CIP generic messaging. It would be worth your while to see if the PLC in use
supports CIP to minimize programming effort. Using CIP allows for reads and writes to/from the PLC directly
to the desired CIP address within the PM PLUS. All available PM PLUS™ CIP addresses are documented within
this user guide for each of the PM PLUS™ Lists/Parameters.

Profibus DP (Decentralized Peripherals)
This protocol is typically used to operate sensors and actuators via a centralized controller within industrial-
ized production topologies. Data rates up to 12 Mbit/s on twisted pair cables and/or fiber optics are possible.
Profibus versions DP-VO and DP-V1 are supported on Watlow devices that use Profibus DP.
DP-V0 provides basic DP functionality, including cyclic data exchange, station, module and channel specific
diagnostics and four different interrupt types for diagnostics and process interrupts. To use DP-V0, you'll
first configure and then register the General Station Description (GSD) file using our Profibus GSD Edi-
tor. With the GSD Editor, you can configure up to 244 I/O bytes that can be read or written to from Zone 1
through 16.
DP-V1 includes acyclic data communication for parameter assignment, operation, visualization and interrupt
control of intelligent field devices, in conjunction with cyclic user data communication.

uncontrolled or controlled by another device. The part of the process controlled will be maintained at a level
equal to the quantity measured at input 2 multiplied by the ratio term set by the user as Set Point 1. When

Example 8: Motorized Valve Control
A typical scenario where a motorized valve is used is to regulate the flow of fluid which impacts the loop pro-
cess value. A valve is opened or closed by closing contacts to drive the value in the intended direction. Motor-
ized Valves come in a number of configurations. Some valves have a position feedback mechanism that allows
the control to measure the valve’s position via an internal potentiometer called slide-wire. Other valves take an
analog signal and have a localized control mechanism that regulates the valve position. The actual valve
position is not critical because it is a part of a closed loop control.
The controller can measure the potentiometer resistance to determine the initial valve position on power up.

slide-wire feedback.
The Motorized Valve control algorithm is designed to work with a type of valve that provides two discrete sig-
nals: one to open the valve and another to close the valve. The algorithm turns on/off the appropriate signal for
an appropriate amount of time to approximate the valve position. This works when the valve is inside a closed
control loop because when the valve is not in the correct position, the PID algorithm will adjust the valve further
open or close as needed. These valves have travel limit switches which deactivates the motor once the valve is
fully open or fully closed so the controller can not cause the valve to over travel and burn out the motor, or the
motor is built so it can not overheat at max locked rotor amperes.
To use the motorized feature:
1. Program the Special Output Function to Motorized
®
Gas Furnace
Output 1 = Close
Valve. Valve Temperature
Output 2 = Open Actuator Sensor
2. Set Source Function A to either Heat or Cool Power
and set Source Instance A to match the control loop,
typically 1. Gas Flow
3. Enter the amount of time in seconds that the valve

requires power to go from a closed state to an open
state. Enters the dead band in percent PID power to prevent the valve from excessive cycling. Larger numbers
reduce activity on the valve and smaller numbers improve controllability. Select a value that compromises on
these two competing goals.
4. Assign an output to Special Output Function 1 that is wired to close the valve. Assign an output to Special
Output Function 2 that is wired to open the valve. Typically, these two outputs are normally open mechanical
relays but solid state relays or switch DC outputs may be programmed in the same manner.
Definitions:
• Current Position is an approximation of the valve's position as it relates to a power level (0 - 100%) where
0% is fully closed and 100% is fully open.
• Dead Time is the minimum on time that the valve will travel once it is turned on in either the closed or
open direction. Dead Time = Valve Dead Band / 100 * Valve Travel Time.

• Valve Travel Time is the amount of time the valve needs to be turned on (either open or close) to eliminate
the error between the estimated valve position and the desired power level. A positive On Time value
indicates the need to open the valve while a negative value indicates the need to close the valve. On Time =
(Input 1 Value - Current Position) / 100 * Valve Travel Time
When power is applied to the controller, the valve is closed and time is set to 0.
- Special Output Function 1 is the close signal to the valve.
- Special Output Function 2 is the open signal to the valve

Modbus® Programmable Memory Blocks
The Modbus® assembly or programmable memory blocks consists of 40 pointers to the parameters of your
choosing starting at Modbus® register 40 (shown on the following page). The pointers are 32-bits long and
are stored in two sequential registers. As an example, to move an alias to the analog input of the PM (register
360) into pointer registers 40 and 41, a single multi-write command (0x10 function) would be used writing
360 into register 40 and 361 into register 41.
The screen shot above was taken from a Watlow application called "Modbus® TCP Diagnostic Program for
EZ-ZONE PM, RM and ST", which can be found at http://www.watlow.com/en/resources-and-support/Techni-
cal-Library/Software-and-Demos by searching "Modbus®."
Once the parameters have been defined and written to the specified pointer registers, the working registers
will then represent the parameters written. In the example here, the 32-bit floating point analog input (360 and
361) was first written to registers 40 and 41 which defines working registers 200 and 201 as Analog Input 1.
As can be seen in the far right-hand column in the screenshot above, reading back registers 200 and 201, the
temperature as detected by the first analog input is displayed.
Note: Modbus® allows a maximum of 125 16-bit registers to be read with one read command. That is 62 of the 32-bit
registers defined here. Use two read commands to read the entire assembly if desired in one module. Each module has
its own assembly and the assembly working addresses must be within the same module.

The first T to O member above (Device Status) is always present but not counted when configuring the
gateway size using the RUI or EZ-ZONE Configurator software. However, it most always be counted
when configuring the input size of the Master. As an example, if using the DINT comm format in a PLC
and the entire assembly as shown above, the input size would require 41 members.
Although 40 members are built into PM controllers, the RUI allows for a maximum of 20.

The PM PLUS™ Implicit Assembly defaults to a populated assembly structure for the first 20 members. If
it is desired to modify any of the given assembly members, visit http://www.watlow.com/en/resources-and-
support/Technical-Library/Software-and-Demos, search "implicit," to find "EZ-ZONE Implicit Message As-
sembly Programming Application." For help, refer to the document, "Modifying Implicit Assembly Members,"
which can also be found http://www.watlow.com/en/resources-and-support/Technical-Library
Compact Class Assembly Structure

On this table, the 17 available members of the Compact Class are displayed. Notice that each member begins
with header identified as "Assembly" and below the header is the member number along with parameter
information. Keep in mind that each member is actually 32-bits in length. To better illustrate this information
the members in these tables are divided in half where the letter "A" in the page header and assembly num-
ber represents the most significant 16-bits where the letter "B" in the title and
assembly number represents the least significant 16-bits of each member.
If these pages are printed out and then mixed up, simply match up the page
headers placing them side by side. As an example, Compact Class 1A through
7A should be paired with Class 1 B through 7 B, left to right.
