Bristol® ControlWave® LP

Local Configuration Wizard allows local commu- nication with any attached ControlWave controller or RTU to download system flashware upgrades, configure cold download parameters, and configure IP and soft-switch parameters.

Configuration Wizard simplifies Network setup

DataView is an on-line utility for ControlWave and Network 3000 nodes used to collect and display several types of process data, including signal values, data array values, signal lists, and audit trail information. Operators have the ability to alter signal values. Multiple DataView windows may be open simultaneously.

TechTools – OPC Server & ActiveX Controls

The Technicians Toolkits consist of a set of configu- ration wizards and standard web pages which are used to configure a newly installed ControlWave or modify those parameters on an existing controller. The key components of the Technicians Toolkit are:

WebBSI- A set of Active X controls allowing commu- nication access to ControlWave are provided for en- gineers to develop their own custom web pages us- ing any standard package such as Microsoft® Front- Page. Active X controls allow data to be viewed in any compliant container (such as Microsoft Excel and Word or Visual Basic), or a compliant web page Browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Real-time ActiveX Controls

One of the many benefits TechTools brings to you is our use of open standards such as ActiveX Controls. AcitveX is another of the Microsoft stan- dards, which allow plug and play with any ActiveX container, using Microsoft ActiveX container tech- nology such as Visual Basic, HTML web pages, and Microsoft Excel

The set of available ActiveX Controls provides the basic functions necessary to communicate and col- lect data from ControlWave.

ActiveX Controls

•Security – 56-bit encryption - allows the user to sign on to the RTU.

•Signal Value – displays signal values in various formats.

•Comm Statistics – works with a standard page that displays the RTU’s communication statistics.

•Configuration Info – works with a standard page that displays and allows the user to change

RTU Configuration information.
