Product Features

EZ-ZONE RMZ Offers Fiber Optic Sensing Capabilities and EtherCAT®Communications
  • The EZ-ZONE RMZ integrates fiber optics, PID temperature control and EtherCAT® communications into a single package. It features multi-channel control, hosting up to four channels of fiber optic inputs as well as supporting up to 44 additional control loops from other EZ-ZONE RM modules. These modules support a wide array of capabilities including I/O, logic, current measurement, power switching and more.
EZ-ZONE RMF Offers Additional Fiber Optic Inputs for Expansion Opportunities
  • The EZ-ZONE RMF module is a dedicated fiber optic input module integrating the advanced control technology of the EZ-ZONE system with one to eight channels of fiber optic temperature sensing. The EZ-ZONE RMF can also serve as additional inputs to the EZ-ZONE RMZ enabling extensive expansion opportunities for future system needs. The EZ-ZONE RMF is ideal either as an expansion module or configured with built-in temperature control loops (outputs via EZ-ZONE RME module). The EZ-ZONE RMF can be used independently when only sensing is required.
