Bristol® ControlWave® LP

Low Power High Performance Process Automation Controller

Bristol® ControlWave® LP, from Emerson Process Management, is a low power high performance pro- cess automation controller that performs complex control strategies, collects, time stamps, and stores data, and communicates in local, remote, and wide area networks. ControlWave LP offers the features of an RTU and an automation controller with DCS functionality.

Designed for control and data acquisition ap- plications, the ControlWave LP is easily installed in"remote areas and offers one of the industries widest operating temperature ranges. Additionally, due to its small form factor and rugged industrial design, ControlWave LP offers an outstanding ability to match the requirements of the most demanding process plant and remote SCADA system environ- ments. Above all, Emerson has developed this inno- vative controller to provide cost-effective solutions by minimizing the time required for installation and configuration.

The ControlWave LP complements the ControlWave and Network 3000 family of process automation controllers and RTU’s. The ControlWave LP is compact in size and offers the full programmabil- ity of ControlWave Designer IEC 61131 compliant software, and communicates via standard BSAP, as well as other industry standard protocols.

The ControlWave LP is available in an open chassis assembly for mounting to a panel or within an enclo- sure. The unit is a three-board assembly consisting of a CPU board, a Multifunction Input/Output board, and a Power Supply/Sequencer board. All field I/O connections to the ControlWave LP are readily available via quick disconnect terminals located on the sides of the chassis.

Low Power Performance

The ControlWave LP uses the Ultra Low Power (ULP) Intel 486SX processor. The CPU is oper- ated at 3.3 V to reduce power consumption. The unit automatically goes into a low power, quiet mode, during CPU idle time. These features make ControlWave LP the logical choice for low power ap- plications using solar panels and battery backup.
