I feel sorry for anyone that has a watlow controller on any of their equipment. We used to have 16 of these. Now we have 0. These are complete junk. Get these out of whatever they're in and replace them asap. Watlow controllers are complete junk.
I've spent decades in shops, my hearing is not terrible but not great, your background music is way too loud - especially for anybody with a disability. A company the size of Watlow should know better. I thought it might just be me, but when you read the reviews below, it's most people. I'm sure you still have the master video, strip out or lower the background music track.
I am having a hard time figuring out if I'm at a rock concert or a training seminar. Please lose the music so I can mentally process the information presented.
Yes, because in W10 is neccesary to activate SMB and other options. It could be interesting another video with W10 OS. Apart from that, congratulations on the video, because it is very well explained
I am frantically looking for the browser tab playing the music and making it so I can't hear this video. It turns out it's part of this video. Who thought this was a good idea?
Based on the upper and lower alarm limits values (70 and 80) inputted, these are steps to set up a process alarm, correct? This contradicts what I thought in that deviation alarms are setup up with a negative value for the low limit and a positive value for the high limit.
The EZ-ZONE Configurator uses an EIA-485 half-duplex serial port located on all models. The user's guide contains the wiring information. See terminals CD, CE and CF. If the controller has a second serial port or Ethernet, then other software, PLC or devices using the Modbus RTU/TCP protocol may communicate to the controller. Contact Technical Support at 507-494-5656 during normal business hours Central Standard Time (USA). Please provide model number and we can assist in connection issues.
There is no help for non communication. I have tried all sorts of 232 and 485, can't get it to see it. You need to provide DETAILED hardware connection diagram. I can't get to 1st base. I can't connect and can't configure. This might as well be thrown in the garbage as it is unusable. Please help me make it usable.
I would not add, "Quits When Challenged." to my resume. Let's help you to change that to, "Is Resourceful!" First, let's do a little sleuthing. This video is titled, "Thats Easy! 2: Configuring a Watlow® Controller with EZ-ZONE Configurator" It looks like step 2 so there must be a step 1 to get ready for step 2. Maybe something like,"Thats Easy! 1..." Let's Google it! Check out the following link... (this is funny) lmgtfy.com/?q=youtube+watlow+rs485 At the top of my search results is, "Thats Easy! 1: Installing a USB-to-485 Converter and Watlow® EZ-ZONE Configurator Software" For your specific wiring issue I've "fenced" the part of the video that may interest you the most... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gmoiYCxbatc.htmlstart=208&end=244&autoplay=1 Good luck to you Larry! You can do it!
Hello, I am having the same issues. I do not have a hardware connection that is working. If anyone sees this please reply. I have tried borderline everything to connect my device to the EZ-zone configurator.
No answer right? im having the same problem over here why i have to set op a low in deviation shouldnt be only one temp lets say i set up the deviation alarm for 10 degres i was expecting the alarm to come on 10 over or 10 less than the set point but didnt work
The deviation alarm means the alarm trips when the process is different than the loop set point by more than the specified alarm deviation such as more than 5 degrees above or less than 5 degrees below if Alarm High is +5 and Alarm Low is -5 degrees. Alarms may flash a message on the display or activate an output to trigger an external event. In summary, a band around the desired set point should be maintained but if not, activate an event.
Make sure the controller is not in manual mode. You can call technical support while in front of the controller at 507-494-5656 to assist with the key strokes.
