Series 1ZC Communicating Sub-Panel Temperature Controller

Parameters

On initialization, default parameter settings
relating to controller configuration and 
communications were loaded into the 
controller’s memory. To change these 
parameters to suit your specific application
requirements, you must use the
protocol communications message syntax
described in the section titled
“Communications Message Examples.”

On the next page is a list of legal 
parameters and the information required
within your program to configure them.
For examples of typical communications
messages, refer to pages 16-18.

We recommend setting parameters in the
following order:

1) Communications (Network ID set  by 

DIP switch) 

Baud Rate

Data Format

Transmit Delay

2) Input Type

3) Input Low Scale and High Scale 

(if linear input is specified)

4) Output Type (Two independent outputs 

are available)

5) Output Modes

For PID Outputs:

Output Action

Cycle Time

Low and High Limits 

For Outputs Configured as Alarms:

Output Alarm Action

Output Alarm Operation

Output Alarm Delay

Output Alarm Inhibit Time

For On/Off Outputs:

Output Action

6) Operating Mode (Normal, Autotune, 

Manual, Standby)

7) Load default communication 

parameters procedure:

Disconnect power

Set all DIP switches to ON position

Apply power

Disconnect power

Set ID 2 - 255

Default communication parameters 
are 2400 Baud, 8-N-1
