Bristol® ControlWave® PAC

Scalability

ControlWave PAC meets the needs of a wide range of applications, from a unit controller RTU to a powerful plant process control system through its modular architecture, large I/O capacity and Ether- net networking capability.

For smaller I/O configurations, the low power ControlWave Micro and Express are ideal RTU packages with all of the same software capabilities of their ControlWave PAC big brother.

ControlWave Micro is a compact modular RTU/PLC hybrid, providing up to eleven serial communication ports and optional built-in 100/10 Base-T Ethernet ports. Built-in spread spectrum radio and dial-line modem options reduce integration cost, enhance communication flexibility and provide communica- tion back-up.

The base unit is used to house the power system, CPU and 2 or 6 I/O modules. The base is expand- able up to fourteen I/O slots through 2,4 or 8 slot plug-on I/O expansion bases.

ControlWave Express is a very compact, low profile SCADA RTU with a fixed I/O point count. Extremely low power consumption makes ControlWave Ex- press highly suitable for many remote sites common in water, wastewater, and natural gas applications

ControlWave Designer with ACCOL III

To minimize your engineering and development time, we have adopted the international standard for PLC programming, IEC 61131-3. ControlWave Designer is a fully IEC 61131-3 compliant program- ming environment for the ControlWave family of products. ControlWave Designer includes all five IEC 61131-3 process languages for batch, continu- ous and discrete control: Function Block Diagram, Structured Text, Sequential Function Chart, Ladder Logic Diagram and Instruction List.

ControlWave Designer includes an extensive library of more than 200 basic IEC 61131-3 functions and function blocks common to many IEC 61131-3 based products. These include:

•Flip-flops, Counters & Timers

•Ladder diagram functions - coils and contacts, etc.

•Numerical, Arithmetic & Boolean functions

- Sine, Cosine, Add, Sub, Square Root, And, Or, etc.

•Selection & Comparison - Min, Max, Greater than, Equal, Less than, etc.

•Type conversions - Integer to Real, Boolean to Word, etc.

Open Standards for Programming, Net- work Configuration and Communication

Only ControlWave brings the perfect combination of industry standards to minimize learning, engineering and implementation costs.

By adhering to such industry standards as Ethernet, TCP/IP, Microsoft Windows, COM/DCOM, FTP, OLE and ActiveX, ControlWave is able to achieve the highest degree of openness in control system archi- tecture and bring the optimal process efficiency and productivity needed to ensure a successful system implementation.

ACCOL III

In addition to the basic functions and function blocks, ControlWave Designer brings the benefit of over twenty years of SCADA and plant control experience in Emerson’s Bristol ACCOL III function block library. ACCOL III includes over sixty func- tion blocks valuable for use in oil & gas, water and wastewater and process measurement & control applications. Further, ACCOL III is designed to take full advantage of the significant features offered by ControlWave.

Briefly, this library includes function blocks for:

•Average, Compare, Totalize

•Scheduling & Sequencing
