RME Module • 4 • Chapter 1 Overview

Introduction

The EZ-ZONE

Rail Mount Expansion module

(RME) takes the pain out of adding I/O points to

your RM system architecture.

It just got a whole lot easier to solve the thermal

requirements of your system. The RME module is

provided in a space-saving, rail-mount package and

is highly scalable where you only pay for what you

need. For those applications that require the ability

to configure/monitor the control over a network, oth-

er communications protocols are also available (e.g.,

EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet, Modbus TCP and Profibus

DP) when used in conjunction with an RM Access

(RMA) module or when using a Remote User Inter-

face/ Gateway (RUI/GTW).

Standard Features and Benefits

• Provides two mounting options (DIN rail, chassis

mount)

• Reduces wiring time and termination complexity

compared to connecting discrete products

• Reduces panel space and installation cost

Integrated power controller output

• Provides an optional dual Solid-State Relay (SSR)

outputs, which can drive up to 10 amps into resis-

tive loads. Terminals for the ring lug connection is

optional

• Reduces component count and cost of ownership

• Saves panel space and simplifies wiring

Communication Capabilities

• Supports network connectivity to a PC or *PLC

• Provides a wide range of *protocol choices includ-

ing Modbus

RTU, EtherNet/IP™, Modbus

TCP,

DeviceNet™ and Profibus DP

* When used with the optional RMA or Remote User

Interface/Gateway

Additional control integration options

• Provides a sequencer function

• Includes programmable timer functions

• Includes programmable counter functions

• Allows for simple math and logic programming op-

tions

Integrated Thermal Loop Diagnostics

• Users can easily tell that the entire thermal sys-

tem is functioning properly

• Provides complete system diagnostics that are far

superior to simple discrete level diagnostics

• Helps prevent load loss or allow for maintenance

to be scheduled when more convenient.

• Provides notification of system problems to help

reduce maintenance and service costs

Off-the-Shelf Designed System Solution

• Improves system reliability with a factory inte-

grated solution that minimizes inter-module con-

nections and potential problems at screw termina-

tion points.

• Reduces installation cost

• Eliminates compatibility headaches often encoun-

tered with using many different components and

brands

RME Handles High Ambient Temperatures

• Operates in an unprecedented temperature range

of -18 to 65°C (0 to 149°F) for cabinets and panel

enclosures with elevated temperature levels

Optional Access Module Available

• Serves as a configuration station

• Provides communication capabilities between the

other modules and the PC or PLC

• Stores corresponding module parameter settings

for easy auto-configuration of other additional

modules or replacement modules

• Serves as a configuration station, which programs

initial module setup or automatic programming of

modules if swapping out after initial installation

• Provides a USB port for uploading and download-

ing configuration or data log files directly to a PC

• Saves time and increases reliability of parameter

setting

• Logs process data

Memory for Saving and Restoring User-De-

fined Parameter Default Settings

• Allows customers to save and restore their own

defined defaults for machine parameter settings

• Reduces service calls and downtime due to inad-

vertent end user parameter adjustments

RM Modules Allow for Greater Design Flex-

ibility

• Saves money because you do not pay for any more

than you need and don’t settle for any less func-

tionality than you need

Synergistic Module Control (SMC)

• Allows outputs selected for control (heat/cool),

alarms or events to be located in any physical

module, regardless of which module is connected

to the input sensor

Split-Rail Control (SRC)

• Allows modules to be mounted together or mount-

ed remotely from one another

• Shares control operation via Synergistic Module

Control (SMC) capability

• Allows individual modules to be mounted closer

to the physical input and output devices to which

they are wired

• Improves system reliability and lowers wiring

costs
