1.3 PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
ControlWave Express RTUs are comprised of the following major components:
• Enclosure/Chassis (Section 1.3.1)
• RTD Probe (Section 1.3.2.1)
• CPU/System Controller Board (Section 1.3.2)
ControlWave Express RTUs can be factory configured with one or more of the following
options:
• Process I/O Board (Section 1.3.3)
• Keypad/LCD Display (1.5.2 & 2.4.5)
1.3.1 Enclosure/Chassis
ControlWave Express RTUs are housed in an enclosure that accommodates mounting to a
Panel or a DIN-Rail. External dimensions are approximately 10.75” long, by 5.56” wide, by
2.06” deep (without mounting brackets). The enclosure consists of two pieces, the removable

time by pressing the appropriate front panel button.
1.3.2 CPU/System Controller Board
The multilayer CPU/System Controller Board provides ControlWave Express CPU, I/O
monitor/control, memory and communication functions. ControlWave Express CPU/System
Controller Boards operate over an extended temperature range with long-term product
reliability.
ControlWave Express CPU/System Controller Boards are based on a 32-bit ARM9TDMI
RISC Core Processor. The CPU/System Controller Board is specified to operate with an
input voltage range from a nominal +6Vdc, +12Vdc or +24Vdc power supply with a system
clock speed of either 14 MHz or 33 MHz. In addition to the microprocessor and control logic,
the CPU Board includes two fixed RS-232 communication Ports (COM1 & COM2), and one
configurable RS-232/RS-485 communication port (COM3). CPU Memory consists of 2MB of
battery backed Static RAM (SRAM), 512kB Boot/Downloader FLASH and 8MB
simultaneous read/write FLASH. Three unique CPU/System Controller Boards are offered
as follows:
• 14 MHz Ultra Low Power CPU: operates from a nominal +6Vdc or +12Vdc bulk input
power and is equipped with a Solar Regulator circuit and an Auxiliary Power Output
circuit.
• 33 MHz Low Power CPU: operates from a nominal +12Vdc or +24Vdc bulk input power,
is equipped with a Solar Regulator circuit and an Auxiliary Power Output circuit).
• 33 MHz Low Power CPU: operates from a nominal +12Vdc or +24Vdc bulk input power
and is equipped with a 10/100Base-T Ethernet Port. Note: Not equipped with a Solar Regulator circuit or an Auxiliary Power Output circuit.
CPU/System Controller Boards are provided backup power via a coin cell socket that
accepts a 3.0V, 300mA-hr lithium battery. This 3.0V battery provides backup power for the
real-time clock and the system’s Static RAM (SRAM). Backup power is enabled when
Configuration Jumper W3 (adjacent to the battery) is installed in position 1 to 2.
If the 3.3Vdc that powers the unit goes out of specification, a supervisory circuit on the
CPU/System Controller Board switches the battery voltage to the VBAT3.3 hardware signal
(used by the CPU’s SRAM and RTC). This supervisory circuit also generates a
BATTERYGOOD signal when the battery voltage is above 2.35V.
The system SRAM is specified to have a standby current of 20:A maximum for each part
(plus 2uA for the RTC). For a system containing 2MB of system SRAM, a worst-case
current draw of 42:A allows a battery life of approximately 9000 hours.
The power supply operates from a nominal +6Vdc, +12Vdc or +24Vdc (depending on the
CPU type) with the nominal input supply configuration being user configured via on-board
jumpers. A supervisory circuit monitors the incoming power and the supply voltages. The
isolated supplies are shut down when the incoming voltage drops below +5.4V for a +6.0V
system, +11.4V for a +12V system or +21.8V for a +24V system.
Damage WILL occur to
the CPU if the Ethernet

For maximum shelf life, the battery may be isolated from the circuit by removing the
Backup Battery Jumper W3 from position 1 to 2 and then storing it in position 2 to 3. If the
real-time clock looses its battery backup a ControlWave Designer system variable bit
(_QUEST_DATE) is set. This bit can be used to post a message or alarm to the PC (see the
‘Systems Variables’ section of the ControlWave Designer Programmer’s Handbook D5125).
On 14MHz Ultra Low Power CPUs and 33 MHz Low Power CPUs, an on-board solar shunt
regulator is capable of charging a 7AH battery (6V or 12V) with the charging cycle
controlled by the MSP430 Microcontroller. Firmware turns on the shunt regulator when the
battery voltage exceeds the charge regulation threshold. When this happens, the shunt
regulator shorts the terminals of the solar panel connector thus eliminating further battery
charging. Note: Damage may result to the power supply components if the battery
charger is used without a battery present, i.e., do not connect a solar panel unless
a battery has first been connected.
An alternate battery connection is available through connector TB2 that provides power if
there is no power available from TB1.
Circuitry supports two Pulse Counter Inputs via connector TB5, and on 14 MHz Ultra Low
Power CPUs interface to a RTD via connector TB6.
Basic CPU components and features are summarized as follows:
• 8-Position configuration options switch bank (SW2), a 4-Position recovery switch bank
(SW1) and an 8-Position COM3 (RS-485) support switch bank (SW3)
• Coin cell socket accepts a 3.0V, 300mA-hr lithium battery
• LED Board (piggy-back)
• Nominal +6/12V or +12/24V) Power Input (both with Fail Safe Sequencer)
• Display/Keypad Interface
• 2 Pulse Counter Inputs with 1 second scan rate (Digital Input operation selectable)
• 10/100base-T Ethernet Port (Not on Low Power and Ultra Low Power CPUs)

Edge Connector TB5 supports connection to two internally sourced Pulse Counter Inputs.
These inputs are sourced for 3.3V with a source current of 200μA and a maximum input
frequency of 10kHz. Pulse Counter inputs are not supported with debounce circuitry and
therefore should not be used with relays. Note: Pulse Counter Inputs can also be
configured for DI operation via ControlWave Designer.

ControlWave Express. Internally the solar panel wires connect to the rechargeable battery
via CPU/System Controller Board connector TB1-3 and TB1-4. A secondary power input
connection (TB2) is supported if no power is available through TB1.
Connector J2 (RJ-45) accommodates connection to one of three LCD Display configurations,
i.e., LCD Display only, LCD Display (with Dual-Button Keypad) or LCD Display (with 25Button Keypad). The LCD Display or LCD Display/Keypad is mounted on the Instrument
Front Cover.
1.3.2.2 CPU Memory
Boot/downloader FLASH
Boot/download code is contained in a single 512Kbytes uniform sector FLASH IC. This
device resides on the local bus, operates at 3.3V and is configured for 8-bit access. 4Position DIP-Switch SW1’s position 3 allows start-up menu options to be displayed or bootup from system FLASH. If SW1-3 is closed when a reset occurs, the boot-up code will cause
a recovery menu to be sent out the COM1 serial port to a terminal program running on an
external host computer. Note: Recovery Mode will also be initiated if CPU/System
Controller Board Switch SW1 positions 1 and 2 are both set ON or OFF when a reset occurs.
FLASH Memory
The base version of the CPU Module has 8Mbytes of 3.3V, simultaneous read/write (DL)
FLASH memory. FLASH memory is 16-bits wide. System Firmware and the Boot Project
are stored here. No hardware write protection is provided for the FLASH array.
System Memory (SRAM)
The base version of the CPU Module has 2Mbytes of soldered-down static RAM,
implemented with two 512K x 16 asynchronous SRAMs that are configured as a 1M x 16-bit
array. All random access memory retained data is stored in SRAM. During power loss
periods, SRAM is placed into data retention mode (powered by a backup 3.0V lithium
battery). SRAMs operate at 3.3V. Critical system information that must be retained during
power outages or when the system has been disabled for maintenance is stored here. Data
includes: Last states of all I/O, historical data, retain variables and pending alarm
messages not yet reported. The SRAM supports 16-bit accesses.
supported by SW1-1 and SW1-2 or SW1-3 (forced by CW Console) accommodates FLASH
firmware upgrades to the CPU or allows the user to perform a Core Updump, i.e., upload
the contents of SRAM to a PC for evaluation (see Table 1-2).

see Section 1.3.3.3.2 for DO
see Section 1.3.3.3.3 for DI/O
1.3.3.3 Process I/O Board Field I/Os
Field I/O Wiring is supported by card edge Terminal Block Connectors as follows:
Non-isolated Digital Input (DI) Connector (Section 1.3.3.3.1)
Non-isolated Digital Output (DO) & Digital I/O Connector (Sections 1.3.3.3.2 & 1.3.3.3.3)
Non-isolated Analog Input Connector (Section 1.3.3.3.4)
Non-isolated Analog Output Connector (Section 1.3.3.3.5)
Non-isolated High Speed Counter Input Connector (Section 1.3.3.3.6)
1.3.3.3.1 Dedicated Non-isolated Digital Inputs (also see Section 2.3.4.3)
Terminal Block TB2 provides interface to 4 dedicated non isolated Digital Inputs DIs). All
Digital Inputs support dry contact inputs that are pulled internally to 3.3 Vdc when the
field input is open. Source current for DI#1 through DI#4 is switch selectable for 60uA or
2mA from the 3.3V supply (SW1-3 ON = 2mA, OFF = 60uA). Note: SW1-3 also sets DI5 & DI6 and both HSCs (for 200uA or 2.2mA operation). 15 millisecond input filtering protects
against contact bounce.
1.3.3.3.2 Dedicated Non-isolated Digital Outputs (also see Section 2.3.4.4)
Terminal Block TB3 provides interface to 2 dedicated non isolated Digital Outputs (DOs)
and two selectable DI/Os. Digital Outputs have a 30V operating range and are driven by
Open Drain FETs that sink 400 mA (Max.) at 30Vdc. The maximum output frequency is 20
Hz. Transorbs (30Vdc) provide surge suppression between each signal and ground.
Selectable DI/Os are discussed in section 1.3.3.3.3.
1.3.3.3.3 Selectable Non-isolated Digital Inputs/Outputs (also see Section 2.3.4.5)
Terminal Block TB3 also supports 2 user selectable Digital Inputs/Outputs. These DI/Os
may be unused or individually user wired as desired, i.e., both DI, both DO, one DI and/or
one DO. Their operation depends on how they are wired, i.e., DI or DO. These DI/Os are
rated identically to the DIs and DOs discussed in Sections 1.3.3.3.1 and 1.3.3.3.2.
1.3.3.3.4 Non-isolated Analog Inputs (also see Section 2.3.4.6)
Terminal Block TB6 provides interface to three single-ended Analog Inputs. Three field
terminals are assigned for each Analog Input, i.e., Field Power, AI# and DGND. AI field

system battery or an external power source. Each AI channel can be individually configured
for 4 to 20mA or 1-5V operation (via JP5 for AI1, JP6 for AI2 and JP7 for AI3).
AIs are supplied with a two hertz low pass filter and surge suppression (via 30Vdc
Transorbs).
1.3.3.3.5 Non-isolated Analog Output (also see Section 2.3.4.7)
Terminal Block TB7 provides interface to 1 Analog Output. The AO channel can be
configured for an internal or external power source via jumper JP3. External power can
range from +11 to + 30 Vdc.
Analog Output circuitry consists of a 12-bit resolution Digital to Analog Converter, a V to I
circuit and a V to V circuit. 4 to 20mA or 1-5V operation is jumper configured via JP1. An
ultra low power 16-bit RISC Microcontroller (MSP) reads the state of SW1-4 and selects the
appropriate calibration data for the AO channel.
1.3.3.3.6 Non-isolated High Speed Counter Inputs (also see Sections 2.3.4.8)
Terminal Block TB4 provides the interface to two internally-sourced single-ended High
Speed Counter or Digital Inputs (HSCI) with selectable high (10 kHz)/ or low (300 Hz)
frequencies (SW1-1 for HSC1 & SW1-2 for HSC2). All Input circuits have surge suppression
and signal conditioning. HSCs can be interfaced via Dry Contacts or Open Collector field
circuits. Note: High Speed Counter Inputs can also be configured for DI operation via ControlWave Designer.
High Speed Counter/Digital inputs are sourced from 3.3Vdc and are switch selectable for a
source current of 200uA or 2.2mA (SW1-3 ON = 2.2mA, OFF = 200uA). Note: SW1-3 sets all DIs and all HSCs. Each HSC circuit has a maximum input frequency of 10 kHz.
1.4 FIELD WIRING
ControlWave Express remote terminal units support connection to external field devices
through field wiring terminals on the CPU/System Controller Board and the Process I/O
Board. Connections to the following types of external devices may be made:
• RTD (CPU Bd.) • Pulse Inputs* (CPU Bd.)
• Analog Inputs (AIs) (I/O Bd.) • Analog Outputs (AOs) (I/O Bd.)
• Digital Outputs (DOs) (I/O Bd.) • Communications (RS-232 and RS-485) (CPU Bd.)
• Relays (HSCs*) (I/O Bd.)
* Pulse Inputs and HSC Inputs can also be configured for use as Digital Inputs.
1.5 FUNCTIONS
ControlWave Express RTUs are shipped without a base application program. Using
ControlWave Designer, the user can readily modify this application and then add or
subtract functions, etc. An overview of a typical application is provided below.

• Resides on a BSAP SCADA network
• Provides audit trail and archives
• Allows the user to select engineering units, including English and metric
The primary function of the ControlWave Express is to provide data acquisition, a local
display, communications, output control, input status and self test and diagnostics. Items
below implement and supplement the primary function:
• Data acquisition (see Section 1.5.1)
• Local display (see Section 1.5.2)
• Communications (see Section 1.5.3)
• Control outputs (see Section 1.5.4)
• Status inputs (see Section 1.5.4)
• Self test and diagnostics (see Section 1.5.5)
1.5.1 Data Acquisition
Typical process inputs used by the ControlWave Express are pressure, flow, level,
temperature and frequency input [typically used for positive displacement (PD)], turbine, or
ultrasonic meters. In some cases, inputs may also be derived from external Multivariable
Transmitters using either the BSAP or MODBUS protocols. Alternatively, the inputs may
be obtained via the local I/O Modules using analog transmitters. The ControlWave Express
application program will typically allow any combination of inputs to be selected.
1.5.2 Optional LCD Display
In normal operation, the Display only LCD Display remains ON while the Dual-Button or
25-Button Keypad/Displays turn OFF after the unit has been configured and placed in
service. The operator may activate the Keypad/Display at any time by pressing the
appropriate front panel button (depending on the keyboard type). When activated, the
display scrolls through a list of current values. The list defaults to an appropriate set of
values.
1.5.3 Communications
A ControlWave Express can be configured as a Master or Slave node on either a MODBUS
network or a BSAP network. Up to three serial communication ports are contained on the
ControlWave Express CPU/System Controller Board. Communication ports situated on the
CPU/System Controller Board are designated as follows:
CPU/System Controller Board:
COM1 - Port 1: J4 - 9-Pin Male D-Type Connector - RS-232 (Activated by jumper W18)
J11- 3-Pin Connector – RS-232 (Activated by jumper W18)
COM2 - Port 2: TB3 - 8-Pin Term Block - RS-232 (COM2 supports an External Modem or
Radio option)
COM3 - Port 3: TB4 - 5-Pin Term Block - RS-232/RS-485 (Configuration: RS232/485 via
jumpers W12 through W16 and RS-485 via switch SW3)
Communication Ports COM1, COM2 & COM3 support serial asynchronous operation.
Communication Ports COM1 and COM2 support RS-232 operation while COM3 supports

communications, i.e., connected to a PC loaded with ControlWave Designer and OpenBSI
software.
RS-232 Ports
An RS-232 interface supports Point-to-Point, half-duplex and full-duplex communications
(20 feet maximum, using data quality cable). Half-duplex communications supported by the
ControlWave Express utilize MODBUS or BSAP protocol, while full-duplex is supported by
the Point-to-Point (PPP) protocol. ControlWave Express RS-232 ports utilize the “null
modem” cable (Figure 2-11A) to interconnect with other devices such as a PC, printer,
another ControlWave series unit (except CW_10/30/35) when the ControlWave Express is
communicating using the full-duplex PPP protocol.
RS-485 Ports
ControlWave Express RTUs can use an RS-485 communication port for network
communications to multiple nodes up to 4000 feet away. Essentially, the master and the
first slave transmit and receive data on opposite lines; all slaves (from the first to the "nth")
are paralleled (daisy-chained) across the same lines. The master node should be wired to
one end of the RS-485 cable run. A 24-gauge paired conductor cable, such as Belden 9843
should be used. Note: Only half-duplex RS-485 networks are supported.
Comm. Port Defaults
From the factory COM1 defaults to 115.2 kilo-baud using the BSAP protocol. The
remaining serial communication ports, i.e., COM2 and COM3 default as follows:
