Bristol® ControlWave® LP

Low Power High Performance Process
Automation Controller

Bristol® ControlWave® LP, from Emerson Process
Management, is a low power high performance pro­cess 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 ap­plications, 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 environ­ments. Above all, Emerson has developed this inno­vative controller to provide cost-effective solutions
by minimizing the time required for installation and

conguration.

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 programmabil­ity of ControlWave Designer IEC 61131 compliant
software, and communicates via standard BSAP, as
well as other industry standard protocols.

Hardware Features

•

•

•

•

•

Ultra Low Power 486 based processor provides
high performance with low power consumption.

Five asynchronous serial communication ports

Fixed I/O with optional expansion I/O

Field device power supply built in

Small size

The ControlWave LP is available in an open chassis
assembly for mounting to a panel or within an enclo­sure. The unit is a three-board assembly consisting
of a CPU board, a Multifunction Input/Output board,

and a Power Supply/Sequencer board. All eld

I/O connections to the ControlWave LP are readily
available via quick disconnect terminals located on
the sides of the chassis.

CE approval

Low Power Performance

The ControlWave LP uses the Ultra Low Power
(ULP) Intel 486SX processor. The CPU is oper­ated 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 ap­plications using solar panels and battery backup.

Low Power Mode

ControlWave LP power consumption is highly
dependent on the actual application program and
whether or not you are using internal loop power to

eld devices.

Typical power consumption range: 150 to 200 mA
@ 24 Vdc

Fixed Multifunction Input/Output Board

The Fixed Multifunction Input/Output Board (FMI/
OB) contains four I/O modules with pluggable termi­nations and a PC-104 Interface for interconnection

of xed and expansion I/O subsystems. The board
also provides for electrical isolation to eld devices,

surge suppression, and LED indicators for Discrete
I/O, CPU, and communications functions. The four

I/O modules are xed as follows:

16 Discrete Inputs
