ENSING
Heat outputs may be associated with a current sensor. The RM uses current transformers and the ST uses a
built in current sensor. This will report the RMS current flowing through the heater. High and low trip points
may be configured.

Description
Current Sense Bus
0x4nn0
0x67
0x1E
Defines the bus connected to the current sensing
module. This is typically an RME, RMC, or ST. The
current sensing circuit needs to be associated with
output controlling the heater to compare
measured output against the desired output to
generate errors when the current is not in
alignment with the output signal.
0 = Unused
1 = RM
2 = Legacy ST/PM
3 = Modbus SL-10
Current Sense Zone
0x4nn0
0x67
0x1F
Defines which zone is hosting the current sense
functionality.
Current Sense Instance
0x4nn0
0x67
0x20
Defines which current sense instance belongs to
this loop in a module that hosts multiple current
sensors.

Description
Heater Failure Function
0x4nn1
0x68
0x19
Current Trip Level High
0x4nn1
0x68
0x1A
A heater fault is generated if the RMS current
exceeds this point.
Current Trip Level Low
0x4nn1
0x68
0x1B
A heater fault is generated if the RMS current
falls below this point. This is used to detect
the loss of a heater or fuse.
Current Transformer Scaling
High
0x4nn1
0x68
0x1C
Matches the current reading to the Current
Transformer (CT) used and the number of
wire windings.
Current Transformer Offset
0x4nn1
0x68
0x1D
Allows user calibration of the current reading.
