Purpose

Copying parameters between temperature controllers allows quicker change out and setup of multiple controllers. This

can be done with component to component communications or using CX-Thermo in conjunction with other components

such as an interface unit.

This document will show how to copy parameters for the E5CC. This can also be done with other model numbers within

the E5_C family, but some of the information might differ slightly, such as the wiring.

Communications Specifications

Figure 1: Communications Specifications

Component to Component

Both of the units must have communication capabilities, which is the 003 or 004 option selection for E5CC models. Keep

in mind that copy function is only possible between the same model number and the same version of the temperature

controller.

Wiring

Wire the controllers as follows for RS-485 communication.

Figure 2: Communications Wiring

Also wire additional inputs and outputs as needed for the application.

Parameter Setup

Below is an overview of the communication parameters.

Figure 3: Overview of Communications Programming

Slave Setup

(1) Press the key for at least three seconds to move from the “operation level” to the

“initial setting level.”

(2) Press the key for less than one second to move from the “initial setting level” to

the “communications setting level.”

(3) Scroll through the parameters as shown below by pressing the key. Use the up/down arrow keys to

adjust the value of the parameter.

Page 6 of 37

(4) Set to 1.

(5) Press the key for less than one second to move from the “communications setting level” to the

“initial setting level.”

(6) Press the key for at least three seconds to move from the “initial setting level” to the

“operation level.”

Master Setup

Now we will adjust the parameters on the master unit.

(1) Press the key for at least three seconds to move from the "operation level" to the

"initial setting level."

(2) Press the key for less than one second to move from the "initial setting level" to

the "communications setting level."

(3) Select the parameters as shown below by pressing the key. Use the up/down arrow keys to adjust

the parameters.

(4) Only change the following parameters.

a. Set to Fins.

b. Set to 57.6.

c. Set to 0.

d. Set to 1.

e. Set to 2.

Note 1: MAXU should be set to the number of slaves in the system. For one slave, the value would be set to two.

(5) At the copy parameter, press the up arrow key for the unit to copy ALL parameters.

Note: This will copy the parameters to all of the slave units. To copy the parameters only to certain units, select

the number of the slave unit to receive the copied parameters (e.g., 1 for slave unit number 1, 4 for slave unit

number 4).

During the copying process below is what appears on the controllers. Once the copy process is started, it is not

possible to stop the copying operation.

After the copy is complete, this is what is shown on both units.

(6) Press the key for less than one second to move from the "communications setting level" to the

"initial setting level."

(7) Press the key for at least three seconds to move from the "initial setting level" to the

"operation level."

Component to Component Using CX-Thermo

Both of the units must have communication capabilities, which is the 003 or 004 option for E5CC models. Keep in mind

that copy function is only possible between the same model number and the same version of the temperature

controller. Additional products that were used include the following:

• K3SC interface converter,

• CS1W-CIF31 interface unit between USB serial communication and RS-232C,

• D-SUB 9 pin connector (needs a female connection), multi-conductor cable, or K32-23209 pre-made cable,

• CX-Thermo, and

• S8VK-G power supply.

Wiring

Below displays the wiring from the D-SUB 9 pin connector to the K3SC.

Figure 4: K3SC and 9 Pin Connector Connections

Page 9 of 37

Shown is the wiring from the K3SC (displayed as Host RS-485) to the E5CC temperature controllers.

Figure 5: E5CC to K3SC Wiring

E5CC Controller Settings

Below are the default settings on the controller.

Figure 6: Default Communications Settings

Each controller needs a unique communications number. Start with unit number 1.

The remaining settings should be default.

K3SC DIP Switch Settings

Set the K3SC DIP switches to match the settings on the E5CC temperature controllers.

Figure 7: K3SC DIP Switch Settings

DIP switches 0-8 should be set to off. If the default baud rate, data length, stop bits, and parity were used, then all of the

DIP switches would be set to off.

USB to RS-232C Cable (CS1W-CIF31) Settings

When plugging the CS1W-CIF31 into the USB port, ensure that the driver is properly installed.

Figure 8: CS1W-CIF31 Driver Installation

Check if it properly installed by un-plugging and checking to see if the device shows up and then plugging it in again to

ensure it is present and recognized by the computer. If the device does not show up, refer to the instruction sheet

included with the product.

Using CX-Thermo

Copying Parameters with the Master Device Online

This describes how to duplicate the parameters on the master device to other devices.

Make sure that all of the components are wired and power is applied.

Ensure the CS1W-CIP31 cable is connected.

Open CX-Thermo and click no.

Figure 9: CX-Thermo Start Up Screen

This opens the device select screen.

Click cancel.

Figure 10: Device Select Screen

This allows changes to the communications settings. These settings also need to match the temperature controllers.

Page 14 of 37

Under that communications tab, click settings.

Figure 11: Communications Tab Location

Change the communications settings to match the device. Shown are the default settings for baud rate, data length,

stop bit, and parity. Make sure to select the CS1W-CIF31.

Figure 12: Communications Settings – Default

Click OK.

Now click the work online icon.

Figure 13: Work Online Icon

Now select the number of connected devices.

Only the master device needs to be taken online, set the end unit number to 1. Note that the slave device is still wired to

the master device.

Figure 14: Work Online Number of Devices

Click Execute.

Page 16 of 37

RD and SD LEDs on the K3SC will light up, confirming communication. A pop-up will appear confirming that the devices

were found. Click OK.

Figure 15: Confirmation of Devices Found

Next, decide whether or not to transfer the device parameters into CX-Thermo.

Page 17 of 37

Figure 16: Option to Transfer Device Parameters

To initiate the transfer click yes. A pop-up will appear offering the option to transfer the parameters from one of

multiple devices.

A few other pop-ups could appear stating that some parameters might not be able to be transferred depending on the

version of the controller and the version of CX-Thermo.

A pop-up will then appear confirming the transfer of parameters. Click OK.

Figure 17: Confirmation of Parameter Transfer

The CX-Thermo workspace will then appear. Note the destination controller number on the left hand side confirms the

transfer.

Figure 18: CX-Thermo Workspace

Next, change any parameters on the controller.

Right click on a controller part number to copy the device and adjust the copy destination. This automatically changes

status to working offline.

Figure 19: Copy Device Configuration

Click the icon to work online. Confirm that the devices were connected.

Page 20 of 37

Under that communications tab, click Transfer[PC to Devices]. Choose to transfer all parameters, all changed

parameters, or parameters changed from default.

Figure 20: Communications Tab Location

Select the destination controller to receive the transferred parameters.

Figure 21: Devices to Transfer Parameters To

Confirm the parameter transfer with the multiple pop-up windows.
