WATLOW EZ-ZONE® Controllers
ISE / Watlow's EZ-ZONE® controllers require less panel
space, minimize system complexity and best of all, lower the total cost
of ownership. ISE / Watlow EZ-Zone also decreases design and assembly
time. Because these products are modular and scalable, you only
pay for what you need. You can order the EZ-ZONEs in multiple
configurations giving you the flexibility to standardize on the product
platform to solve your wide range of application needs.
EZ-ZONE features include Watlow TRU-TUNE®+ adaptive
control and a variety of industrial communication protocols including
EIA 485, EIA 232, EtherNet/IP™ and Modbus® TCP.
