6 EZT-430i Simulated F4S/D Interface Operation

The EZT-430i simulated Watlow F4S/D interface mode allows EZT-430i to appear as a Watlow F4 controller
to Watlow’s Watview software. This allows EZT-430i to be placed on an existing serial communication link
with other F4 controllers already communicating with WatView or another software package. This eliminates
the need for users already familiar with their existing software to learn another software package in order to
communicate with EZT-430i . It also allows for the replacement or upgrade of older, individual F4 controllers
without having to implement a complete changeover.

This section targets the functionality provided by the EZT-430i F4S/D interface, and not the specifics on how
to interface with a Watlow F4S/D controller. It is assumed that users who choose to use this interface mode
are already familiar with or have an existing F4 installation and wish to continue its use while integrating the
EZT-430i into that installation base. For specifics on how to communicate with a Watlow F4 controller or to
obtain the full list of communications registers, see the Series F4S/D User’s Manual available from Watlow’s
website (

http://www.watlow.com/downloads/en/manuals/Series%20F4SD_Rev%20H.pdf

).

6.1 F4S/D Supported Control/Monitoring Data Registers

The following table of data registers represents active (functional) data registers for the F4 interface that are
used by EZT-430i for control/monitoring. While EZT-430i provides the full register base of a Watlow F4S/D to
insure compatibility with WatView, many of the registers are non-functional. The purpose of the interface is to
allow control/monitoring and not configuration/setup of EZT-430i .
