RE: Support for Watlow EZ-zone PM controller

["Taufer, Gary via Tech-talk" <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Hello Phil,

We have developed an EPICS support module for a Watlow PM controller, specifically the EZ-ZONE® PM Integrated PID Controller, Model Number: PM862FJ-3LEJAA.  This module was written to support Modbus over TCP protocol but modifications to utilize Modbus over RS-485 shouldn't pose a problem.  If you feel this would work for you I can publish the files to the Modules page for you. 

Regards,
 
Gary
