Watlow EZ-ZONE® RM Modular Controller Family

This EZ-ZONE RM controller family is extremely flexible and scalable

allowing mixing and matching of I/O for one to 152 control loops and

limits, up to 256 monitor points and other controller functions including

counters, timers, math, and logic in an integrated control solution.

The DIN-rail mountable modules can be used as stand-alone controllers,

but when combined with other EZ-ZONE RM modules, PM PLUS controllers

and ASPYRE AT power controllers they form a Watlow Ecosystem Solution

sharing I/O and function block programming as a system.

The EZ-ZONE RM controller family includes several module types:

A temperature and process control, monitoring and over/under temperature

limit module, a high-density control module, a high-density limit module,

an input/output (I/O) expansion module, a high-density monitor/scanner

module, a fiber optic temperature sensor module, an EtherCAT® module

and a data logging and field communications access module. A system is

configured by connecting any combination of module types and configuring

with Watlow’s COMPOSER® software to address specific application needs.

Key component of a Watlow Ecosystem Solution

• Integrates EZ-ZONE® RM, RMA PLUS™ and PM PLUS® controllers and

ASPYRE AT power controllers for a complete solution including Modbus®

TCP, EtherNet/IP™, or EtherCAT® communication.

• Eliminates discrete wiring between temperature controllers and power

controllers for each heater through the highspeed bakcplane interface with

Watlow controllers.

• Enables data collection and diagnostics from temperature, process and

power control

• Customizes for your application with programmable function blocks including

logic, math, compare and more.
