1.1 Features
The module type controller has the following features:

The current transformer input module Z-CT (hereafter called Z-CT module) has 12 current transformer
(CT) inputs (hereafter called CT inputs), and is a function module that is used exclusively for the module
type controller SRZ. Z-CT module interfaces with the host computer via Modbus or RKC communication
protocols. The Z-CT module sets all of the data items via communication (The communication interface
used for both protocols is RS-485). Therefore before operation, it is necessary to set value of each data item
via communication.

 Heater break alarm (HBA) and heater overcurrent alarm are possible
A Z-TIO module or Z-DIO module can be connected to a Z-CT module to enable the use of heater break
alarm (HBA), heater melting alarm, and heater overcurrent alarm. (Time proportional output is supported.)
Both heater break alarm (HBA) and heater overcurrent alarm can be used with one CT input.
(Either alarm can also be used alone.)
 A Z-CT module can be connected to a Z-TIO module to enable heater break alarm (HBA) and heater
overcurrent alarm for three-phase loads.
 When the output distribution function is used with a Z-DIO module, a Z-CT module can be connected
to enable heater break alarm (HBA) and heater overcurrent alarm for distribution output.
 The Z-CT module can be connected to a Z-DIO module to output the heater break alarm (HBA) state
from the digital output (DO) of the Z-DIO module.
The heater overcurrent alarm state cannot be output from the digital output (DO) of the
Z-DIO module.

 Heater break alarm (HBA) and heater overcurrent can be set automatically
The heater break alarm (HBA) set value and heater overcurrent alarm set value can be automatically set
using the push button on the front of the Z-CT module or by communication.

 CTs other than the specified CTs can also be used

CTs other than the specified CTs can be used by changing the CT type and CT ratio settings. There are
certain requirements for the CTs that can be used.

For details of CT condition, see on page 7-18.

Specified CTs
 CTL-6-P-Z (0.0 to 10.0 A)
 CTL-6-P-N (0.0 to 30.0 A)
 CTL-12-S56-10L-N (0.0 to 100.0 A)

 12-point current measurement is possible with a single module

Up to 12 current transformers can be connected to one Z-CT module.
Up to 16 Z-CT modules can be connected, enabling 192-point current measurement.
When used for current measurement applications, a Z-CT module can be used by itself.

Some usage conditions may prevent the current transformer (CT) input value monitor
from showing the root mean squared current value. (See P. 7-4)

1.6 Application of Z-CT Module

 For three-phase load alarm monitoring
For three-phase loads, two CT inputs are used for one control output.
When a Z-TIO module is connected to a three-phase load, the CT input (option) of the Z-TIO module does
not allow heater break alarms (HBA) and heater overcurrent alarms to be added to all control outputs.
A Z-CT module can be connected to the Z-TIO module to add heater break alarms (HBA) and heater
overcurrent alarms to the control outputs that could not be handled by the CT input (option) of the Z-TIO
module.

4.1 Wiring Cautions

! WARNING
To prevent electric shock or instrument failure, do not turn on the power until all
the wiring is completed. Make sure that the wiring has been properly made
before applying power to the instrument.

 To avoid noise induction, keep input/output signal wires away from instrument power line, load lines and
power lines of other electric equipment.
 If there is electrical noise in the vicinity of the instrument that could affect operation, use a noise filter.
 Shorten the distance between the twisted power supply wire pitches to achieve the most effective noise
reduction.
 Always install the noise filter on a grounded panel. Minimize the wiring distance between the noise
filter output and the instrument power supply terminals to achieve the most effective noise reduction.
 Do not connect fuses or switches to the noise filter output wiring as this will reduce the effectiveness of
the noise filter.
 Power supply wiring must be twisted and have a low voltage drop.
 For an instrument with 24 V power supply input, supply power from a “SELV” circuit defined as IEC
60950-1.
 A suitable power supply should be considered in the end-use equipment. The power supply must be in
compliance with a limited-energy circuits (maximum available current of 8 A).
 Supply the power to only one of the joined modules. When power is supplied to any one of the joined
modules, all of the joined modules will receive power.
 Select the power capacity which is appropriate for the total power consumption of all joined modules and
the initial current surge when the power is turned on.
Z-CT module power consumption (at maximum load): 35 mA max. (at 24 V DC)
Rush current: 10 A or less
 For the power supply terminals and communication terminals, use the specified solderless terminals.
Only these specified solderless terminals can be used due to the insulation between the terminals.

 Make sure that during field wiring parts of conductors cannot come into contact with adjacent conductive
parts.

Connecting solderless terminals to CT input terminals (terminal type module)

When using a non-specified CT, use solderless terminals that are the same size as the above.
A spade terminal (Y type) can also be used if it is the same size.

4.2 Connecting Precautions

! WARNING
To prevent electric shock or instrument failure, turn off the power before
connecting or disconnecting the instrument and peripheral equipment.

 Connect connectors correctly in the right position. If it is forcibly pushed in with pins in the wrong
positions, the pins may be bent resulting in instrument failure.
 When connecting or disconnecting the connectors, do not force it too far to right and left or up and down,
but move it on the straight. Otherwise, the connector pins may be bent, causing instrument failure.
 When disconnecting a connector, hold it by the connector itself. Disconnecting connectors by yanking on
their cables can cause breakdowns.
 To prevent malfunction, never touch the contact section of a connector with bare hands or with hands
soiled with oil or the like.
 To prevent damage to cables, do not bend cables over with excessive force.

5. SETTINGS BEFORE OPERATION

5.3 Operating Precautions

 Power ON
 When a Z-CT module is used by itself
The Z-CT module does not have RUN/STOP transfer data, and thus when the power is turned on, it starts
capturing the current values. When the power is turned on, the FAIL/RUN indication lamp lights green.

 When a Z-CT module is connected to Z-TIO module

When the power of the SRZ unit is turned on, it starts up with the operation mode set to “Control” and
RUN/STOP transfer set to STOP (control is stopped). (The FAIL/RUN indication lamp lights green)
When the power of the Z-CT module is turned on, it starts capturing in the current value.
When the SRZ unit is switched from STOP to RUN, operation begins. [Factory set value: STOP]
When switched to RUN, the Z-CT module starts heater break alarm (HBA) and heater overcurrent alarm
operation. The Z-CT module also starts monitoring the state of the operation mode of the Z-TIO module.
The heater break alarm (HBA) function and heater overcurrent alarm function do not operate for channels
for which the operation mode of the Z-TIO module is set to “0: Unused” or “1: Monitor.”
If a Z-COM module and Z-TIO module are connected to a Z-CT module, operation will be
the same as described above.
Even if a heater break alarm (HBA) or heater overcurrent alarm occurs when the SRZ unit is set
to STOP (control stop), an alarm state will not occur.
For details of RUN/STOP transfer, see following instruction manual.
SRZ Instruction Manual (IMS01T04-E)
Z-COM Host Communication Instruction Manual (IMS01T23-E)
Z-COM Instruction Manual (IMS01T22-E)

 Confirm the automatic setting data

Before switching the SRZ unit to RUN, verify that the communication data required for automatic setting
of the heater break alarm (HBA) and heater overcurrent alarm have been set.
For details of each parameter, see 7. COMMUNICATION DATA DESCRIPTION (P. 7-1).
For the automatic setting, see 6.3 Automatic Setting Example (P. 6-14).

 Execution of automatic setting

Before performing automatic setting of the heater break alarm (HBA) and heater overcurrent alarm, verify
that installation has been completed, all connections have been made, and the required communication data
have been set, so that the system is ready for operation.
Execute automatic setting when the load starts heating up.
For the procedure for starting automatic setting, see 6.3.4 Procedure for executing automatic
setting (P. 6-23).

 Checking the heater break alarm (HBA) and heater overcurrent alarm
The Z-CT module does not have a terminal that outputs alarm signals, and thus the alarm status must be
checked using one of the methods below.
 Check the alarm status in the communication data (heater break alarm (HBA) state monitor, heater overcurrent
alarm state monitor).
 Use a Z-DIO module to check the alarm status in the digital output (DO) *.
* The heater overcurrent alarm state cannot be output from the digital output (DO) of the Z-DIO module.
For the procedure for checking the alarm status using the digital output (DO), see 6.4 Digital
Output (DO) of Heater Break Alarm (HBA) (P. 6-27).

6. HOST COMMUNICATION

6.2 Modbus
6.2.1 Modbus communication protocol
The master controls communication between master and slave.
A typical message consists of a request (query message) sent from the master followed by an answer
(response message) from the slave (Z-CT module).
When master begins data transmission, a set of data is sent to the slave in a fixed sequence.
When it is received, the slave decodes it, takes the necessary action, and returns data to the master.

For an explanation of Modbus communication protocol, see the following instruction manual. Instruction
manual can be downloaded from the official RKC website.
(URL: http://www.rkcinst.com/english/manual_load.htm)
 When using the Z-CT module connected to function modules (Z-TIO module, Z-DIO module)

 When using the Z-CT module connected to Z-COM module
Z-COM Instruction Manual (IMS01T22-E)
Z-COM Host Communication Instruction Manual (IMS01T23-E)
For details of the “Processing times during data send/receive,” “Fail-safe,” see SRZ Instruction
Manual (IMS01T04-E).

6.2.2 Caution for handling communication data

 The numeric range of data used in Modbus protocol is 0000H to FFFFH. Only the set value within the
setting range is effective.
FFFFH represents 1.
 The Modbus protocol does not recognize data with decimal points during communication.
Example: When heater break alarm (HBA) set value is 20.0 A, 20.0 is processed as 200,
200 = 00C8H
Heater break alarm (HBA) set value High 00H
Low C8H

 If data (holding register) exceeding the accessible address range is accessed, an error response message is
returned.
 Read data of unused item is a default value.
 Any attempt to write to an unused item is not processed as an error. Data can not be written into an
unused item.
 If data range or address error occurs during data writing, it is not processed as an error. Except the data
that error occurred, normal data is written in data register. Therefore, it is necessary to confirm data after
the end of setting data.
 Some of the communication data becomes RO (read only) when set lock is used.
If you attempt to write data to RO data, an error will not occur; however, the data will not be written.
For details of set lock, see 6.2.3 Modbus communication data list (P. 6-7).
 Send the next command message at time intervals of 24 bits after the master receives the response
message.

Communication data includes both “Normal setting data” and “Engineering setting data.”
Engineering setting data can be written when the set lock (address: 0178H) is set to
“0: Unlock.”
Normal setting data: No. 1 to 20
Engineering setting data: No. 21 to 31

The engineering setting data should be set according to the application before setting
any parameter related to operation. Once the engineering setting data are set correctly,
no further changes need to be made to data for the same application under normal
conditions. If they are changed unnecessarily, it may result in malfunction or failure of
the instrument. RKC will not bear any responsibility for malfunction or failure as a
result of improper changes in the engineering setting.

When connected to a Z-COM module, the set lock (address: 0178H) state of the Z-CT
module is linked to RUN/STOP transfer (address: 0133H) of the Z-COM module.
When the Z-COM module is transferred to STOP (control stop), the set lock (address: 0178H) of
the Z-CT module changes to “0: Unlock.”

 Setting of DO signal assignment module address 1 [DO1 to 4]

Set the module address “32” of the Z-CT module in DO signal assignment module address 1.

Set to “32.”

DO signal assignment module address 1

By means of the above settings, the heater break alarm (HBA) state (logical OR of ch1 to ch12) of the
Z-CT module is output from DO2 (HBA comprehensive output) of the Z-DIO module.

The heater break alarm (HBA) state cannot be output from the digital output (DO) separately
for each channel of the Z-CT module.
DO2 (HBA comprehensive output) outputs the logical OR of the heater break alarm (HBA)
state of the Z-TIO module and the heater break alarm (HBA) state of the Z-CT module.
For details on the “DO output assignment 1 [DO1 to 4]” and “DO signal assignment module
address 1 [DO1 to 4]” of Z-DIO module, see SRZ Instruction Manual (IMS01T04-E).

Function: Heater overcurrent alarm can only be used with time-proportional control output
(relay, voltage pulse, triac or open collector output).
The heater overcurrent alarm function monitors the current flowing through the load
by a dedicated current transformer (CT), compares the measured value with the
heater overcurrent alarm set values, and detects a fault in the heating circuit.
However, heater break alarm does not action when control output ON time is 0.5
second or less.

This restricts changes to the communication data settings. The setting can be used to prevent operation
errors while the system is running. When “1: Lock” is set, the communication data of engineering setting
mode cannot be changed.
In addition, when connected to a Z-COM module, the set lock state of the Z-CT module is linked to
RUN/STOP transfer (identifier: SR, address: 0133H) of the Z-COM module.
When the Z-COM module is switched to STOP (control stop), the set lock (identifier: LK, address: 0178H)
of the Z-CT module changes to “0: Unlock.”

Interval time RKC communication identifier ZX

Modbus register address 01F1H (497)
RS-485 sets the transmission transfer time to accurately assure the sending/receiving selection timing.
Attribute: R/W
Digits: 7 digits
Number of data: 1 (Data of each module)
Data range: 0 to 250 ms
Factory set value: 10

RS-485 sets the transmission transfer time to accurately assure the sending/receiving selection
timing. The sending and receiving of RS-485 communication is conducted through two wires;
consequently, the transmission and reception of data requires precise timing.
Then, set the desired transmission transfer time to secure the time until the transmission line is
changed to data receiving after the host computer ends its sending.
The controller’s interval time must match the specifications of the host computer.
