Bristol® ControlWave® Express SCADA RTU, from
Emerson Process Management, provides exceptional performance and unique functionality for
applications requiring low installation cost, very low
power consumption, and space efciency.
As an integrated RTU is a SCADA system,
ControlWave Express has the unique attributes
required for wide area networks, without sacricing
process control performance.

Scalability
ControlWave Express can also be combined seamlessly with other members in the ControlWave family
of products. For remote applications requiring more
I/O exibility, ControlWave Micro provides a modular
RTU/PLC expandable up to 14 I/O modules.
For natural gas well site and measurement station
automation, ControlWave single and multi-run ow
computers share a common architecture with the
ControlWave family of products and all meet API
21.1 requirements for multiple meter runs.
For in-plant control applications, ControlWave and
ControlWave Micro are powerful, exible PLCs.
ControlWave offers the greatest local and remote
I/O expansion to hundreds of I/O points, up to three
Ethernet ports for network segmentation, plus CPU,
communication and I/O redundancy capability.
The combined benets of the ControlWave family
of products integrates your wide area network with
your local area network.
Open Standards For Programming, Net-
work Conguration 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
architecture and bring the optimal process efciency
and productivity needed to ensure a successful
system implementation.
IEC 61131-3 process languages for batch, continuous 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
over twenty years of SCADA and plant control experience in Emerson’s Bristol ACCOL III function block
library. ACCOL III includes over sixty function blocks
valuable for use in oil & gas, water & waste and pro-
cess measurement & control applications. Further,
ACCOL III is designed to take full advantage of the
signicant features offered by ControlWave.
Briey, this library includes function blocks for:
Average, Compare, Totalize•
Scheduling & Sequencing•

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 programming environment for the ControlWave family of
products. ControlWave Designer includes all ve

In addition, ControlWave ensures data integrity, in
the event of a communication interruption, by storing critical time-stamped alarm and historical data
in the controller memory. This data is then securely
retrieved when communication is restored.
