Communications according to CompoWay/F (See note.) are supported and
are performed through the RS-485 interface.
Up to 16 E5ZN Temperature Controllers can be operated from the host.
Note CompoWay/F is a general-purpose serial communications-based unified communica-
tions protocol developed by OMRON. CompoWay/F uses commands compatible with
the well-established FINS, together with a unified frame format on OMRON program-
mable Controllers to facilitate communications between personal computers and com-
ponents.
One E5ZN Temperature Controller has two channels for controlling tempera-
ture.
The following input sensors can be connected for temperature input. Both
channels will use the same type of sensor.
Thermocouple:
Infrared temperature sensor type:
Platinum resistance thermometer:
Analog input:
The control output is either a voltage pulse output or a transistor (open-collec-
tor) output, depending on the model of E5ZN.
• Set the alarm type and alarm value, or set upper- and lower-limit alarms.
• If necessary, a more comprehensive alarm function can be achieved by
setting the "standby sequence," "alarm hysteresis," and "close for alarm/
open for alarm," parameters.
Optimum PID constants can be set easily by autotuning.
• The following functions can be achieved using the event input (one input
per Temperature Controller): Set point selection (multi-SP, 2 points max.)
and RUN/STOP.
• The event input is used by both temperature control channels.
A heater burnout alarm (HBA) is supported.
