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.
CPU/System Controller Board Power Connections
A 6-position Terminal Block is provided for input power wiring as follows:
• TB1-1 - Solar Power In+: Power from a 1W - 6V, 5W - 6V or 5W - 12V Solar Panel
(Internally wired to recharge a user supplied battery) *
• TB1-2 - Ground (GND)
• TB1-3 - Primary Power: Power from a user supplied nominal +6Vdc, +12Vdc or
+24Vdc power supply (depending on the type of CPU)

Solar panels can be interfaced to rechargeable battery systems used to power a
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

Click here to return to Table of Contents
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.
1-16 / Introduction CI-ControlWave Express
• Uses pre-configured web pages for user readings, configuration and maintenance. Web
Click here to return to Table of Contents
pages can be modified and new pages configured to work with a modified application
load
• 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:
Each ControlWave Express RTU is furnished in an enclosure/chassis that accommodates
mounting to a Panel or a DIN-Rail and have been designed to operate in a protected Class
I, Division 2, Groups C & D environment with a nonincendive rating (see Appendix A).
A Dimensional drawing of the NEMA Enclosure is provided in Figure 2-2.
2.2 SITE LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS
Check all clearances when choosing an installation site. Make sure that the ControlWave
Express is accessable for wiring and service. If present, make sure that the optional
LCD/Keypad is visible and accessible to the on-site operator. 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 Card Edge Cover and the Main Mounting
Chassis. Two Thumb Screws can be loosened to facilitate removal of the Card Edge Cover,

and thus accommodating all instrument field wiring. Information on mounting the
ControlWave Express assembly is provided in Section 2.3.1 Mounting the ControlWave
Express.
2.2.1 Temperature & Humidity Limits
ControlWave Express RTUs have been designed to operate over a -40°F to +158°F (-40°C
to +70°C) temperature range (with storage at up to +185°F (+85°C)) and a 0% to 95%
relative humidity range. Make sure that the ambient temperature and humidity at the
measuring site remains within these limits. Operation beyond these ranges could cause
output errors and erratic performance. Prolonged operation under extreme conditions could
also result in failure of the unit.
2.2.2 Vibration Limits
Check the mounted enclosure, panel or equipment rack for mechanical vibrations. Make
sure that the ControlWave Express is not exposed to a level of vibration that exceeds those
given in the specifications. ControlWave Express vibration limits are 1g for 10 - 150 Hz &
.5g for 150 - 2000 Hz.
2.3 ControlWave Express INSTALLATION/CONIGURATION
Overview of Configuration
An overview of the main configuration steps are provided herein.
Step 1. Hardware Configuration
This involves unpacking the ControlWave Express hardware, mounting the
enclosure/chassis, wiring I/O terminations, connecting any permanent communication
cables, making proper ground connections, connecting a communication cable to a PC
workstation, setting switches and setting jumpers. To install and configure the
ControlWave Express, follow the steps below:
1. Remove the unit from its carton and install it onto a panel or DIN-rail in an
appropriate enclosure and then ultimately at the assigned work site (see Section
2.3.1). Dimensions are provided in Section 4.6 of this manual.
2. Remove the Process I/O Board and the CPU/System Controller Board (as one
assembly).
3. Make sure that the Lithium Backup Battery has been enabled, i.e., Backup Battery
Jumper W3 on the CPU/System Controller Assembly should be installed on jumper
posts 1-2). Configure the CPU/System Controller Board DIP-Switches and Jumpers
(see Sections 2.3.3 & 2.3.3.1). Configure the Process I/O Board’s DIP-Switches and
Jumpers (see Section 2.3.2). After configuring the Jumpers and DIP-Switches,
install the Process I/O Board and the CPU/System Controller Board (as one
assembly) into the enclosure.
4. Configure/Connect appropriate communication port(s) (see Section 2.3.3.2). Connect
COMM. Port 1 or 2 of the ControlWave Express (depending on CPU/System
Controller Board Switch SW2 settings - see Section 2.3.3.1) to a Communication Port
of a PC (typically PC COMM. Port 1). Note: Also see Section 2.4.4.
5. Install I/O wiring to the Process I/O Board and to the CPU/System Controller Board
Click here to return to Table of Contents
if Pulse Inputs are present (see Section 2.3.4). Install a communications cable to a
Model 3808 Transmitter if required (see Section 2.3.6).
6. Install a ground wire between the Enclosure and a known good Earth Ground (see
Section 2.3.7.3).
7. If required, install the RTD Probe (see Section 2.3.5)
8. Connect DC Power wiring to the ControlWave Express CPU/System Controller
Board (see Sections 2.3.7.1 & 2.3.7.2).
9. Apply power to the ControlWave Express. Now continue with Steps 2 through 7
below (and Section 2.4.1) and the ControlWave Express will be ready for on-line
operation.
Step 2. Software Installation on the PC Workstation
ControlWave Designer software must be installed on the PC. The completed project is
downloaded into the unit from Open BSI Downloader or from ControlWave Designer. This
will require the installation of the ControlWave DesignerPackage from the Open BSI
CD-ROM onto the PC.
You must install the Open BSI Network Edition. For information on minimum system
requirements and more details on the installation, see the installation procedure in
Chapter 2 of the Open BSI Utilities Manual (document # D5081).
If you have an older version of ControlWave Designer already installed:
Beginning with ControlWave Designer Version 3.3, the copy protection key (dongle) is NOT
required. Prior to installing ControlWave Designer 3.3 or newer, you MUST remove the
hardware dongle from the parallel port of your PC workstation. Otherwise, when you
subsequently start ControlWave Designer, it will operate only in ‘DEMO’ mode, and will
limit the available system resources.
IMPORTANT:
When you start ControlWave Designer, you will be reminded to register the
software. Unregistered software can only be used for a maximum of 30 days. For
more information on the registration process, see Chapter 2 of the Open BSI
Utilities Manual (document# D5081).
Step 3. Establish Communications using either LocalView, NetView, or TechView
and Run the Flash Configuration Utility
Communications must be established with the ControlWave Express using LocalView,
NetView, or TechView.
ControlWave Express RTUs ship from the factory with a default Flash configuration. Most
users will need to edit this configuration to set the IP address (if using PPP), BSAP local
address, user accounts, and port parameters. This can be done in one of two ways:
• Either open the supplied Flash Configuration Profile (FCP) file and modify it, directly in
the Flash Configuration Utility, or in a text editor,
• Or retrieve existing Flash Parameters directly from the unit, and edit them in the Flash
Detailed information on the Flash Configuration Utility, and LocalView is included in
Click here to return to Table of Contents
Chapter 5 of the Open BSI Utilities Manual (document # D5081). NetView is described in
Chapter 6 of that same manual. TechView is described in the TechView User’s Guide
(document# D5131).
Step 4. Create an Application-Specific Control Strategy in ControlWave Designer
At this point, you can create your application-specific control strategy using ControlWave
Designer. This involves opening a new project using the ‘CWMicro’ template, defining I/O
boards using the I/O Configurator, and creating a program using one or more of the five
supported IEC 61131 languages (FBD, ST, SFC, LD, or IL). Some of these languages are
text-based, others use graphical diagrams. The choice is up to you, depending upon your
particular application.
The ControlWave MICRO Quick Setup Guide (document # D5124) includes a simple LD
example. Additional examples are included in the manual, Getting Started with ControlWave Designer (document # D5085). More detailed information about ControlWave
Designer and IEC 61131 is included in the ControlWave Designer Reference Manual
(document # D5088).
The ACCOL3 Firmware Library, which is automatically accessible through the template
referenced above, includes a series of function blocks which perform a variety of process
control and communication functions. These can be included within your program to
perform various duties including PID control, alarming, calculations, etc. Detailed
information about each function block is included in the ControlWave Designer on-line help
files.
On the variables declaration page(s) in ControlWave Designer, you will need to mark any
variable you want to make accessible to external programs, such as Open BSI’s DataView
utility, as “PDD”. Similarly, any variables which should be collected into a database, or
exported using the OLE for Process Control (OPC) Server must be marked as “OPC”.
Variables marked as OPC can be built into a text file by the OpenBSI Signal Extractor.
The text file can then be used in the creation of a database for human machine interface
(HMI) software such as OpenEnterprise or Iconics’ Genesis. These HMI software packages
require that the "Datatype conversion enable" option be selected when generating the
file using Signal Extractor. Information about the OpenBSI Signal Extractor is included in
Chapter 12 of the Open BSI Utilities Manual (document # D5081).
Once the program has been created, it is assigned to an executable task. The entire project
is then saved and compiled.
NOTE: From this point on, the order of steps may be varied, somewhat,
depending upon the requirements of the user's application.
Step 5. Create Application-Specific Web Pages (OPTIONAL)
ControlWave Express RTUs support a set of standard web pages for data collection
purposes and for access to communication statistics maintained in the controller.
Optionally, additional user-created web pages may be created to allow a customized
human-machine interface. A series of ActiveX controls for data collection and configuration
are provided on the OpenBSI CD which can be included as part of these user-created web
pages. For information on the ActiveX controls, see the Web_BSI Manual (document #
D5087).
You can use whichever HTML creation package you want to create the pages, however, all
ControlWave Express related web pages (whether standard or user-created) must be viewed
within Microsoft® Internet Explorer. The web pages may reside either on a PC workstation,
or they can be downloaded into FLASH memory at the ControlWave Express. If stored at
the ControlWave Express, you must use the ControlView utility to retrieve the pages (using
FTP) for viewing in Internet Explorer.
Step 6. Create an Open BSI Network Containing the ControlWave Express, or
ADD the ControlWave Express to an Existing Open BSI Network
In order for the ControlWave Express unit to function as part of a Bristol network, it is
necessary to include it in the Bristol network.
If no Bristol network exists:
You need to run Open BSI’s NetView software on the PC workstation in order to define
a Bristol network. A series of software wizards are used to define a Network Host PC, a
network, and the RTUs (controllers) assigned to the network. Finally, communication
lines must be specified which handle the address assigned to the ControlWave Express.
Chapters 3 and 4 of the Open BSI Utilities Manual (document # D5081) include ‘quick
start’ examples for performing these steps. More detailed information is included in the
NetView chapter (Chapter 6) of D5081.
If a Bristol network already exists:
You will need to add the ControlWave Express to the existing network using NetView’s
RTU Wizard. Chapter 6 of the Open BSI Utilities Manual (document # D5081) includes
different sub-sections depending upon whether you are adding the unit to a BSAP
network, or an IP network.
Step 7. If applicable, download new or modified control strategy (OPTIONAL)
If you modify a ControlWave Express program, or create your own program, compile and
download the new or modified program into the unit, using either ControlWave Designer, or
the Open BSI 1131 Downloader. In this case, you download the control strategy into the
BOOT project area of FLASH memory; this ensures that if the ControlWave Express is
reset, or if there has been a failure of the backup battery, the control strategy can be
restarted from the beginning, i.e. from the BOOT project in FLASH memory. To download
the project, see Section 2.4.1.
2.3.1 Mounting the ControlWave Express Enclosure/Chassis
When mounting one of these units, it is to be installed in accordance with the following
restrictions:
- The unit may be positioned vertically or horizontally. Units can be mounted to a panel
directly or via a DIN-Rail Mounting Bracket (utilizing a 35mm DIN-Rail). The basic
unit measures 10.75” long, by 5.56” wide, by 2.06” deep (without mounting brackets).
- The unit must be positioned such that the front of the assembly is visible and the unit
is accessible for service, i.e., replacement of the Lithium Battery, or installation and
removal of any ControlWave Express option.
To configure the CPU/System Controller Board, Jumpers must be set (see Figure 2-4), DIPSwitches must be set (see Section 2.3.3.1) and Communication Ports must be wired (see
Sections 2.3.3.2 through 2.3.3.3).
For safety reasons and to prevent accidental damage to a user-supplied external bulk DC
Power Supply, it is recommended that the pluggable Power Terminal Blocks TB1 and TB2 on
the CPU/System Controller Board be disconnected until the entire unit has been wired, and
hardware configured. Sections 2.3.7.1 & 2.3.7.2 provide details on DC Power Connector wiring.
ControlWave Express CPU/System Controller Board Switches must be set for the desired
performance options. Tables 2-1, 2-2 and 2-5 provide an overview of switch settings.
SW2-1 set OFF will disable the system from entering a watchdog state when a crash or
system hang up occurs. Setting SW2-1 OFF prevents the system from automatically
restarting.
SW2-2 set OFF prevents changing the Soft Switches, other configurations and FLASH files,
i.e., these items are locked. To change Soft Switch, configuration and FLASH files SW2-2
must be set to the ON position (see Section 2.4.4).
SW2-3 set OFF forces the use of Soft Switches as set per factory default (see Section 2.4.4).
For use of user defined Soft Switches, SW2-3 must be set to the ON position. Note: If both
SW2-3 and SW2-8 are set OFF (closed), all communication ports will be set to 9600 bps
operation.
SW2-4 set OFF and used in conjunction with Mode Switch (SW1) will cause the
ControlWave Express to perform a Core Updump (see Section 3.6).
ON = Watchdog circuit is Enabled
OFF = Watchdog circuit is Disabled
ON = Write to Soft Switches and FLASH files
OFF = Soft Switches, configurations and FLASH files are locked
ON = Use Soft Switches (configured in FLASH)
OFF = Ignore Soft Switch Configuration and use factory defaults
ON = Core Updump Disabled
OFF = Core Updump Enabled via Mode Switch (SW1)
ON = Retain values in SRAM during restarts
OFF = Force system to reinitialize SRAM
ON = Enable remote download of System Firmware
OFF = Disable remote download of System Firmware
ON = Normal Operation (don’t allow WINDIAG to run test)
OFF = Disable boot project (allow WINDIAG to run test)

mode. SW2-8 must be set OFF to run the WINDIAG program resident on the local PC (see Section 3.5). When SW2-8 has been set ON, diagnostics is disabled. SW2-8 must be set to
the ON position for normal system operation, i.e. for the Boot project to run. Note: If both
SW2-3 and SW2-8 are set OFF (closed), all communication ports will be set to 9600 bps
operation.

2.3.3.2 Communication Ports
A ControlWave Express can be configured as a Master or Slave node on either a MODBUS
network or a BSAP network. A variety of communication schemes are available. Three
serial communication ports are contained on the standard CPU/System Controller Board.
These communication ports are designated as follows:
CPU/System Controller Board:
COM1 - Port 1: J4 (9-Pin Male D-Type Connector) RS-232 or J11 (3-Pin Male Connector)
Choice of active connector configured by jumper W18.
COM2 - Port 2: TB3 (8-Pin Term. Block) RS-232
COM3 - Port 3: TB4 (5-Pin Term. Block) RS232/RS-485 - RS-485 Configured by SW3
Communication Ports COM1, COM2 and COM3 support serial asynchronous operation as
listed above. Any communication port (COM1, COM2 or COM3) can be configured for local
communications, i.e., connected to a PC loaded with ControlWave Designer and OpenBSI
software.
Diagrams of RS-232/485 interfaces and connectors are shown in Figures 2-4 and 2-5
Click here to return to Table of Contents
Hardware connector pin wiring assignments are provided in Tables 2-3A through 2-3C.
2.3.3.3 RS-232 & RS-485 Interfaces
ControlWave Express RS-232 & RS-485 communication schemes are discussed herein.
2.2.3.3.1 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 a “null
modem” cable (Figure 2-5A - Top) to interconnect with other devices such as a PC, printer, a
ControlWave series unit (except CW_10/30/35) when the ControlWave Express is
communicating using the full-duplex PPP protocol. A half-duplex cable (Figures 2-5A Bottom) may be utilized when the ControlWave Express is connected to a ControlWave
series unit (except CW_10/30/35). If communicating with a Bristol series 3305, 3310, 3330,
3335, or CW_10/30/35 RTU/DPC, one of the cables shown in Figure 2-5B must be used.
Refer to Figure 2-5C to connect ControlWave Express serial RS-232 port COM2 to either an
external modem or external radio. When interfacing to Port COM3 of a ControlWave unit,
or to COM5 or COM6 of a ControlWaveEXP, the cable of Figure 2-5D must be used along
with the one of Figure 2-5A or 2-5B. Tables 2-3A through 2-3C provide the connector pin
assignments for ports COM1 and COM2.
Note: The following facts regarding ControlWave Express RTU’s RS-232 serial
communication ports should be observed when constructing communications cables:
• DCD must be high to transmit (except when dialing a modem)
• Each RS-232 transceiver has one active receiver while in power down mode
(disabled); the DCD signal is connected to the active receiver.
• CTS must be high to transmit.
• When port is set for full-duplex operation - RTS is always ON.
• DTR is always high (when port is active); DTR enables RS-232 Transceivers.
• When port is set for half-duplex operation - CTS must go low after RTS goes low.
• All RS-232 Comm. ports support RTS, DTR, CTS, DCD and DSR control signals.
• All RS-232 Comm. port I/O signals are protected by LCDA12C surge protectors

2.2.3.3.2 RS-485 Ports
ControlWave Express RTUs can use an RS-485 communication port for network
communications to multiple nodes up to 4000 feet away. Since this interface is intended for
network communications, Table 2-4 provides the appropriate connections for wiring the
master, 1st slave, and nth slave. Essentially, the master and the first slave transmit and
receive data on opposite lines; all slaves (from the first to the "nth") are paralleled (daisychained) 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.
Table 2-3C provides connector pin assignments for CPU/System Controller Board port
COM3. Table 2-5 provides the RS-485 termination and loopback control Switch Settings for
the RS-485 Ports.

Receiver biasing and termination as well as 2-wire or 4-wire selection are enabled by eightposition DIP-Switch (SW3) situated on the CPU/System Controller Board as stated in Table
2-5.
To ensure that the “Receive Data” lines are in a proper state during inactive transmission
periods, certain bias voltage levels must be maintained at the master and most distant
slave units (end nodes). These end nodes also require the insertion of 100-Ohm terminating
resistors to properly balance the network. Secondary Communication Board switches must
be configured at each node to establish proper network performance. This is accomplished
by configuring CPU/System Controller Bd. Switch SW3 (COM3) so that the 100-Ohm
termination resistors and biasing networks are installed at the end nodes and are removed
at all other nodes on the network (see Table 2-5).

2.3.3.4 Ethernet Port
ControlWave Express CPU/System Controller Boards can contain one Ethernet Port that
utilizes a 10/100Base-T RJ-45 modular connector (J1) and typically provides a shielded
twisted pair interface to an Ethernet Hub.
A typical Ethernet Hub provides eight (8) 10/100Base-T RJ-45 Ports (with Port 8 having the
capability to link to another Hub or to an Ethernet communications port). Both ends of the
twisted pair Ethernet cable are equipped with modular RJ-45 connectors. These cables have
a one-to-one wiring configuration as shown in Figure 2-8. Table 2-6 provides the
assignments and definitions of the 8-pin 10/100Base-T connector.
It is possible to connect two nodes in a point-to-point configuration without the use of a
Hub. However, the cable used must be configured such that the TX+/- Data pins are
connected to the RX+/- Data pins (swapped) at the opposite ends of the cable (see Figure 2-
7).
The maximum length of one segment (CPU to Hub) is 100 meters (328 feet). The use of
Category 5 shielded cable is recommended.
ControlWave Express RTUs are provided with card edge terminal blocks that accommodate
field wiring. Wiring is routed into the enclosure/chassis through a slot in the removable
card edge cover.
2.3.4.1 I/O Wire Connections
ControlWave Express RTUs utilize terminal blocks equipped with compression-type
terminals that accommodate up to #16 AWG wire. A connection is made by inserting the
wire’s bared end (1/4” max) into the clamp beneath the screw and securing the screw. The
wire should be inserted fully so that no bare wires are exposed to cause shorts. If using
standard wire, tin the bare end with solder to prevent flattening and improve conductivity.
Allow some slack in the wires when making terminal connections. The slack makes the
connections more manageable and minimizes mechanical strain on the terminal blocks.
Field I/O Wiring is supported by card edge Terminal Block Connectors as follows:
2.3.4.2 Shielding and Grounding
The use of twisted-pair, shielded and insulated cable for I/O signal wiring will minimize
signal errors caused by electromagnetic interference (EMI), radio frequency interference
(RFI) and transients. When using shielded cable, all shields should only be grounded at one
point in the appropriate system. This is necessary to prevent circulating ground current
loops that can cause signal errors.

Selectable Non-isolated Digital Input/Output Connection (Section 2.3.4.5)
Non-isolated High Speed Counter Input Connector (Section 2.3.4.8)
Process I/O Board Terminal Block connector TB2 provides interface to 4 dedicated nonisolated 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 sets all DIs and all HSCs (for DI5, DI6, HSC1 & HSC2 SW1-3 ON = 2.2mA
and SW1-3 OFF = 200uA). 15 millisecond input filtering protects against contact bounce.
2.3.4.3.1 Dedicated Digital Input Configurations
Terminal Block TB2 supports four non-configurable DIs. Each DI provides a 60uA or 2mA
source current from 3.3Vdc. Switch SW1-3 must be set to establish the DI source current for
DI#1 through DI4 (SW1-3 ON = 2mA, OFF = 60uA) as well as DI5 & DI6 (SW1-3 ON =
2.2mA, OFF = 200uA). Field wiring assignments are provided in Figure 2-9.
Process I/O Board Terminal Block connector TB3 provides interface to 2 dedicated nonisolated Digital Outputs (DOs) and two selectable DI/Os. Digital Outputs have a 30V
operating range and are driven by Open Drain MOSFETs that provide 400 mA (Max.) at
30Vdc. The maximum output frequency is 20 Hz. Transorbs (30Vdc) provide surge
suppression between each signal and ground.
2.3.4.4.1 Dedicated Digital Output Configurations
Process I/O Board Terminal Block connector TB3 supports two non-configurable externally
powered DOs. Open drain MOSFETs associated with each DO can sink 400mA. Field
wiring assignments are provided in Figure 2-9.
2.3.4.5 Selectable Non-isolated Digital Inputs/Outputs
TB3 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. DI/Os are rated identically to the
DIs and DOs.
2.3.4.5.1 Selectable Digital Input/Output Configurations
Process I/O Board Terminal Block connector TB3 supports two user selectable DI/DOs.
When wired for DI operation, each DI provides a 200uA or 2.2mA source current from
3.3Vdc. Switch SW1-3 must be set to establish the DI source current for DI 5 & 6 (SW1-3
ON = 2.2mA, OFF = 200uA). When wired for DO operation, the Open Drain MOSFET
associated with each DO can sink 400mA @ 30Vdc. Field wiring assignments are provided
in Figure 2-9.
2.3.4.6 Non-isolated Analog Inputs
Process I/O Board Terminal Block connector 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 power applied to each Analog Input (controlled via Jumper JP4)
can be supplied by the system power (bulk input supply) or an external 24V power source.
Each AI can be individually configured for 4-20mA or 1-5 operation (via Jumpers JP5 for
AI1, JP6 for AI2 and JP7 for AI3). Note: When AI Field Power Jumper JP4 is set in
position 1 to 2, an external 24Vdc power source such as the ControlWave Loop
Power Supply (see PIP-ControlWaveLS) will be required to power the Analog
Inputs. When JP4 is set in position 2 to 3, the three Analog Inputs are powered by
the system, i.e., the bulk input power applied to across TB1-3 (Power In+) and
TB1-4 (GND) on the CPU/System Controller Board.
AIs are supplied with a two hertz low pass filter and surge suppression (via 30Vdc Transorbs). The Analog Inputs are self-calibrating.
2.3.4.6.1 Analog Input Configurations
AI circuits are supported by Configuration Jumpers that accommodate configuration of
each of the three Analog Inputs (see Table 2-7). Analog Input can be individually configured
for 1-5V or 4-20mA operation. Field wiring assignments are provided in Figure 2-9.
Cable shields associated with AI wiring should be connected to the ControlWave Express
Chassis Ground. Multiple shield terminations will require a user supplied copper ground
bus. This ground bus must be connected to the ControlWave Express Chassis Ground
(using up to a #4 AWG wire size) and must accommodate a connection to a known good
Earth Ground (in lieu of a direct connection from the ControlWave Express Chassis
Ground) and to all AI cable shields. Shield wires should use an appropriate Terminal Lug
and should be secured to the copper bus via industry rugged hardware (screw/bolt, lock
washer and nuts).

2.3.4.7 Non-isolated Analog Output
Process I/O Board Terminal Block connector 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. It should be noted that Analog Output
circuitry associated with 6V units MUST be configured for external power
operation.
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 configured via SW1-4. The AO
channel is self-calibrating.
2.3.4.7.1 Analog Output Configurations
The Analog Output circuit utilizes two Configuration Jumpers that accommodate 1-5V or 420mA AO operation (JP1) and AO Power selection (JP3), i.e., system power (nominally 12
or 24 Vdc) or external power (11 - 30Vdc). Switch SW1-4 is also used to select calibration
data for the AO’s current/voltage operation. The maximum external load that can be
connected to the 4-20mA output is 250 ohms (with an external 11V power source) or 650
ohms (with an external 24V power Source). The maximum external load current for the 15V output is 5mA (with an external 11 to 30 V power source). AO operation requires either
an 11 to 30Vdc power source (connected to TB7-3 and TB7-4) or the unit’s power supply
(nominally 12 or 24 Vdc). Note: External power can be supplied by Bristol
ControlWave Loop Power Supply which supplies a regulated and isolated +24Vdc
(see PIP-ControlWaveLS).

2.3.4.8 Non-isolated High Speed Counter/Digital Inputs
Click here to return to Table of Contents
Process I/O Board Terminal Block connector TB4 provides the interface to two internallysourced single-ended High Speed Counter/Digital Inputs (HSC/DIs). All Input circuits have
surge suppression and signal conditioning. HSC inputs are switch-selectable (SW1-1 for
HSC1 & SW1-2 for HSC2) for high frequency (10 kHz) or low frequency (300 Hz).
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.
2.3.4.8.1 High Speed Counter Configurations
A total of 2 HSC inputs with surge protection are provided. HSC Configuration Switches
must be set per Table 2-9.

2.3.4.9 Non-isolated Pulse Counter/Digital Inputs
CPU/System Controller Edge connector TB5 provides the interface to two non-configurable
Open Collector Pulse Counter/Digital Inputs (Pulse 1 and Pulse 2). Pulse Counters act like
high speed counters but cannot be used with contact relays because they lack contact
debounce circuitry. Signal conditioning circuitry provides 20 microsecond filtering. Each
Pulse Counter/Digital input circuit has surge suppression which consists of a 16V transorb
between signal and ground. Pulse Counter/Digital Inputs are field driven by open collector
circuits and are sourced for 3.3V (internally) with a 200uA source current. Maximum input
frequency for each Pulse Counter/Digital Input circuit is 10 kHz. Figure 2-10 shows the
Open Collector Wiring arrangement.
A 3-wire RTD may be provided with the ControlWave Express (equipped with a 14MHz
CPU/System Controller Board). Connector TB6 on the CPU/System Controller Board
accommodates a removable three-wire Terminal Block (TB6). This connector accommodates
a 100-ohm platinum bulb using the DIN 43760 curve. ControlWave Express RTUs use the
common three-wire configuration. In this configuration, the Return lead connects to RTDand the two junction leads (Sense and Excitation), connect to RTD+ and RTD EXC.
Connection between the RTD and CPU/System Controller Board is wired per Table 2-10
and Figure 2-11.
Never ground the RTD Cable Shield at both ends or allow it to come in contact with
metallic/conductive conduit as multiple ground paths could cause RTD input errors.
To install the RTD Probe, screw the Fitting Body into the thermowell with a 7/8”open-end
wrench. While applying pressure against the sheath to force the Tip of the RTD Probe into
the bottom of the thermowell (so that the Probe Tip is in contact with the thermowell),
tighten the Nut (9/16” open-end wrench) against the 7/8” Fitting Body (see Figure 2-12).
A Model 3808 Transmitter (Digital) can be interfaced to a ControlWave Express via an RS232 or an RS-485 communication scheme. Communication schemes and cable lengths
determine the type of communication port utilized. In general RS-232 communications are
utilized when the Model 3808 Transmitter is situated within 25 feet of the ControlWave
Express, i.e., for local communications. Communications can be achieved with transmitters
up to 4000 feet away (remote communications) via the RS-485 scheme.

Use SW3 on CPU/System Controller Board to configure COM3.
Figures 2-13 and 2-14 detail the RS-232 and RS-485 wiring connections required between
the ControlWave Express and the Model 3808 Transmitter.
Up to two Model 3808 Transmitters can be connected to a ControlWave Express via a halfduplex RS-485 Network. An illustration of this network is provided in Figure 2-15.
2.3.7 Power Wiring & Distribution
Primary Power is user supplied applied to Connector TB1 of the CPU/System Controller
Board (TB1-3 = Power In + & TB1-4 = GND) and is based upon the type of CPU/System
Controller Board as follows:
• 14MHz Ultra Low Power CPU: Nominal +6Vdc (+5.4V to +16.0V) or Nominal +12Vdc
(+11.4V to +16V) bulk input supply.
• 33MHz Low Power CPU: Nominal +12Vdc (+11.4V to +16.0V) or Nominal
+24Vdc (+21.8V to +28V) bulk input supply.
• 33MHz with Ethernet CPU: Nominal +12Vdc (+11.4V to +16.0V) or Nominal
+24Vdc (+21.8V to +28.0V) bulk input supply.
Two other power interface connections are provided on 14 MHz Ultra Low Power and 33
MHz Low Power CPU/System Controller Boards and function as follows:
• TB1-1 - Solar Power In + (TB1-2 = GND ) (GND = −)
Click here to return to Table of Contents
• TB1-5 - Auxiliary Power Out + - for External Radio/Modem (TB1-6 = GND) (GND = −)
A secondary power input is available at connector TB2:
• TB2-1 – Input
• TB2-2 – Ground
ControlWave Express Terminal Blocks utilize compression-type terminals that
accommodate up to #16 AWG wire. A connection is made by inserting the wire’s bared end
(1/4” max) into the clamp adjacent to the screw and then securing the screw. The wire
should be inserted fully so that no bare wires are exposed to cause shorts. If using standard
wire, tin the bare end with solder to prevent flattening and improve conductivity. Allow
some slack in the wires when making connections. The slack makes the connections more
manageable and helps to minimize mechanical strain on the terminal blocks.
2.3.7.1 Bulk Power Supply Current Requirements
ControlWave Express RTUs are equipped with a CPU/System Controller Board that accepts
either 6/12Vdc or 12/24Vdc Bulk Power input. The maximum current required for a
particular ControlWave Express can be estimated as follows:

This summation will accommodate steady state current draw. Table 2-11A and 2-11B
provide detailed steady state power current requirements for each ControlWave Express
configuration. Note: In the case of an external modem/radio, the unit’s manufacturer
provides power consumption specifications.
One Bulk DC supply can be connected to the ControlWave Express CPU/System Controller
Board. The Bulk DC supply (nominally +6Vdc, +12Vdc or +24Vdc) connected to TB1-3
(Power In +) and TB1-4 (GND -) is converted, regulated and filtered by the CPU/System
Controller Board to produce +3.3Vdc. This CPU/System Controller Bd. circuit is fused at
3.5A (F3). Depending on the version of the CPU/System Controller Board, the unit’s input
power operating range will vary as follows:
• Nominal +6Vdc input source operating range: (+5.4Vdc to +16.0Vdc)
• Nominal +12Vdc input source operating range: (+11.4Vdc to +16.0Vdc)
• Nominal +24Vdc input source operating range: (+21.8Vdc to +28.0Vdc)
An alternate power connection is available at connector TB2, intended for use if power is
not available through TB1. Bulk DC power would be connected to TB2-1 (Power Input) and
TB2-2 (GND).
Note: Solar Power In+ and Aux. Power Out+ not available on CPUs with Ethernet
2.3.7.3 ControlWave Express System Grounding
ControlWave Express Enclosures are not provided with a Ground Lug. Instead, the user
utilizes one or more mounting screws to secure a ground cable to the unit. A ground wire
(#4 AWG Max. wire size) must be run between the enclosure via one or more mounting
screws (see Figure 2-1) and a known good Earth Ground. The following considerations are
provided for the installation of ControlWave Express system grounds (see S1400CW):
• Earth Ground wire size should be #4 AWG. It is recommended that stranded copper wire
is used and that the length should be as short as possible.
• This ground wire should be clamped or brazed to the Ground Bed Conductor (that is
typically a stranded copper AWG 0000 cable installed vertically or horizontally).
• The wire end that is to be fastened to the ControlWave Express should be crimped to a
Terminal Ring/Lug and soldered. Note: Use a high wattage Soldering Iron.
• The ground wire should be run such that any routing bend in the cable has a minimum
radius of 12-inches below ground and 8-inches above ground.
2.3.8 Operation of the Lithium Backup Coin-cell Battery
Click here to return to Table of Contents
CPU/System Controller Boards are equipped with a Coin-cell Socket (S1) that
accommodates a 3.0V, 300 mA-hr lithium coin cell. A supervisory circuit on the
CPU/System Controller Board is used to switch to battery power when the regulated 3.3Vdc
VCC falls out of specification. The CPU/System Controller Board switches the battery
voltage to the VBAT3.3 hardware signal, which provides backup power for the real-time
clock (RTC) and the system SRAM on the CPU Module.
The system SRAM has a standby current draw of 20uA maximum for each part. For a unit
containing 2MB of SRAM, a worst-case current draw of 42uA allows a battery life of
approximately 9000 hours.
Jumper W3 on the CPU/System Controller Board must be installed on terminals 1 and 2 to
enable the battery. For maximum shelf life, the battery may be isolated from the circuit by
install Jumper W3 on terminals 2 and 3.
CPU/System Controller Boards are shipped with the Lithium backup battery installed. To
remove the backup battery, pry up the Battery Securing Tab on the Coin-cell Battery
Socket and then remove the battery using a pair of tweezers or needle-nose pliers. Install
the replacement battery. Note: This step will not be required until units have been in
operation for an extended period of time (normally many years) as the battery life is
approximately 9000 hours of backup service. (Power is drawn from the battery when the
unit looses power).
NOTE:
If the Lithium backup battery is disconnected or removed when power is off the
contents of SRAM (on the CPU/System Controller Board) will not be retained.
Once a Lithium backup battery has been removed, do not install a replacement
battery for at least one minute unless SW2-5 on the CPU/System Controller Board
has been set OFF.
2.4 OPERATIONAL DETAILS
ControlWave Express RTUs are shipped from the factory with firmware that allows the
unit to be configured in conjunction with an IEC 61131, application program. This section
provides information as follows:
- Steps required to download the application and place the unit into ‘Run’ mode.
- Steps required to download system firmware.
- Operation of the CPU/System Controller Board’s Mode Switch (SW1)
- Soft Switch Configurations and Communication Ports

Getting Started with ControlWave Designer Manual - D5085
ControlWave Designer Reference Manual - D5088
Open BSI Utilities Manual - D5081
Web_BSI Manual - D5087
ControlWave Designer Programmer’s Handbook – D5125
An application download can be initiated from ControlWave Designer, or from the OpenBSI
1131 Downloader.
1. Make sure that the CPU/System Controller Board’s Mode Switch (SW1) is set in ‘Local
Mode,’ i.e., SW1-1 set to the OFF position and SW1-2 set to the ON position.
NOTE:
From the factory, COM1 defaults to 115.2 kbd (RS-232) using the BSAP
Protocol. Do not connect COM1 to a PC unless the PC’s RS-232 port in question
has been configured for BSAP operation.
2. Once the ControlWave Express project has been defined, communications and
configuration parameters have been set, perform the download from ControlWave
Designer (see D5088 - chapter 11) or from the Open BSI 1131 Downloader (see D5081 Chapter 7).
3. After the download has been completed leave the CPU/System Controller Board’s Mode
Switch (SW1) in the ‘Local Mode’ position.
2.4.2 Upgrading ControlWave Express Firmware
ControlWave Express CPUs ship from the factory with system firmware already installed.
If an upgrade of the system firmware is required, use one of the procedures below to
download the new or replacement firmware from the PC.
Upgrade of system firmware via LocalView FLASH Mode requires OpenBSI 5.1 (or newer).
If you have an older version of OpenBSI, FLASH upgrades are performed via
HyperTerminal. You will need a binary (*.BIN) system firmware file that is read as follows:
e1sxxxx.bin (for 14MHz CPUs) e3sxxxx.bin (for 33MHz CPUs) (where e1s or e3s is the
product code and xxxx is the release #). Upgrade of an unattended ControlWave Express
can be accomplished from a remote PC. This capability is introduced in Section 2.4.2.3.
2.4.2.1 Using LocalView to Upgrade ControlWave Express Firmware
NOTE:
Your ControlWave Express must be set to Recovery Mode ENABLE (ON) prior to
performing the FLASH upgrade, then set to Recovery Mode DISABLE (OFF) after
the upgrade. On ControlWave Express RTUs this is accomplished via the
CPU/System Controller Board’s Mode Switch SW1. Set SW1-3 to the ON position
for Recovery Mode. After setting SW1-3 to the ON position, turn power OFF and
then ON again.
A null modem cable (see Figure 2-5) must be connected to COM1 of the ControlWave
Express and to any RS-232 port on the associated PC. The PC’s RS-232 port used for this
purpose must be set to run at 115.2 Kbaud. ControlWave Express CPU Switch SW1,

2.4.2.2 Using HyperTerminal to Upgrade ControlWave Express Firmware
A half-duplex null modem cable (see Figure 2-5) must be connected to COM1 of the
ControlWave Express and to any RS-232 port on the associated PC. The PC’s RS-232 port
used for this purpose must be set to run at 115.2 Kbaud. ControlWave Express CPU/System
Controller Board Switch SW1, position, 3 must be set to the ON position.
1. If not already running, apply power to the associated PC.
2. Start the HyperTerminal program on the PC. Note: HyperTerminal is a Windows utility
program. In Windows XP, you can start HyperTerminal by clicking on Start Æ Programs Æ Accessories Æ Communications Æ HyperTerminal. If using HyperTerminal for the
first time, set the communications properties (for the PC Port being utilized) via the
Properties Menu as follows: Bits per second: = 115200, Data bits: = 8, Parity: = None, Stop
bits: = 1, and Flow control: = None and then click OK.
3. Set the CPU/System Controller Board’s Mode Switch (SW1) for ‘Recovery Mode,’ i.e., set
CPU/System Controller Board Switch SW1-3 to the ON position.
4. Apply power to the ControlWave Express. The resident BIOS will initialize and test the
hardware, this process is referred to as POST (Power On Self Test).
Unless there is a problem System Status Code RECOV (Waiting in Recovery Mode) will
be posted to the Status LEDs on the CPU’s LED Board and to the optional LCD Display (if
present). Detection of a fault during POST will be posted on the LCD Display (if present)
and the Status LEDs on the CPU’s LED Board (see Table 2-12 and Figures 2-26 and 2-27).
Figure 2-22 - HyperTerminal Recovery Mode Menu
From the HyperTerminal Recovery Mode menu (Figure 2-22), press the ‘F’ key to enter
FLASH download. A message will be displayed warning that the FLASH is about to be

2.4.2.3 Remote Upgrade of ControlWave Express Firmware
Click here to return to Table of Contents
It is possible to download system firmware into an unattended remote ControlWave
Express. This function can only be accomplished if CPU Board Switch SW2-6 (associated
with the unit in question) is set in the ON position (factory default). The procedure for
performing a remote download of system firmware is discussed in Appendix J of the Open
BSI Utilities Manual (document D5081). Note: Remote upgrade of ControlWave
Express Firmware requires Boot PROM version 4.7 or higher and System PROM
version 4.7 or higher.
2.4.3 Operation of the Mode Switch
The CPU/System Controller Board’s Mode Switch (SW1) is a four position DIP-Switch;
functions are listed in Table 2-12.
Both ON or OFF = Recovery Mode
SW1 OFF & SW2 ON = Local Mode
ON = Force Recovery Mode (via CW Console)
OFF = Recovery Mode disabled
ON = Enable All LEDs
OFF = Disable All LED except Watchdog (WD)
* = Note: Only the Switch SW1 settings listed in this table, have been tested.
Recovery Mode
: Recovery Mode is used for either a firmware upgrade (see Section 2.4.2) or
a core updump (see Section 3.6).
Local Mode
: Local Mode should be selected for normal running operations.
2.4.4 Soft Switch Configuration and Communication Ports
Firmware-defined soft switches that control many default settings for various system
operating parameters such as BSAP Local Address, EBSAP Group Number, three (3)
communication port parameters, etc., can be viewed and, if desired, changed via the Flash
Configuration Utility, which is accessible from LocalView, NetView, or TechView. When
connecting the ControlWave Express to the PC (local or network) for the first time you
should be aware of the communication port default parameter settings provided below (see
Figures 2-5 and 2-6). Note: Communication port factory defaults can be enabled anytime by
setting CPU Board Switch SW2-3 to the OFF position. CPU Switch SW2-8 must be set OFF
to run the WINDIAG program.
COM1: From the factory, RS-232 Communications Port COM1 defaults to 115.2 kbd (RS-
232) using the BSAP Protocol. Note: By setting CPU/System Controller Board
Switch SW2-8 OFF, the boot project will be prevented from running and the unit
will be placed into diagnostic mode. To test COM1 using the WINDIAG program, it
must not otherwise be in use. Connection to a PC requires the use of an RS-232
“Null Modem” cable (see Figure 2-5A/B).
COM2: From the factory, RS-232 Communications Port COM2 on the CPU/System
Controller Board defaults to 9600 baud, 8-bits, no parity, 1 stop bit,
BSAP/ControlWave Designer protocol operation. To test COM2 using the
WINDIAG program, it must not otherwise be in use. Note: CPU Switch SW2-8
Click here to return to Table of Contents
must be set OFF to run the WINDIAG program.
COM3: RS-232/RS-485 Communications Port COM3 on the CPU/System Controller Board
defaults to 9600 baud, 8-bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, BSAP/ControlWave Designer
protocol operation. CPU/System Controller Board Jumpers W12 through W16 are
used to configure COM3 for RS-232 or RS-485 operation (1-2 = RS-232, 2-3 = RS-
485) and Switch SW3 is used to configure COM3 when it has been set for RS-485
operation (see Table 2-5). To test COM3 using the WINDIAG program, it must not
otherwise be in use Note: CPU/System Controller Board Switch SW2-8 must be set OFF to run the WINDIAG program. In lieu of the use of an RS-232 Port, an RS-485
cable (see Tables 2-3B & 2-4) can be connected between COM3 and the PC’s RS485 Port.
2.4.5 Optional Display/Keypad Assemblies
Three Display/Keypad assemblies are offered; one with a dual-button Keypad (see Figure 229 one with a 25-button Keypad (see Figure 2-30 and one without a Keypad (see Figure 2-
28). Both Display/Keypad assemblies utilize identical 4 x 20 LCD Displays. The Display
ONLY assembly contains an upper row consisting of a ± LCD character along with nine 7Segment LCD characters, and a bottom row consisting of six 14-Segment LCD characters.
LCDs Each Display/Keypad or Display only assembly employs a unique microcontroller
based Display/Keypad Interface Circuitry (situated on the remote Display or
Display/Keypad assembly that drive the LCD Display and interfaces the Keypad (when
present). Interface to the ControlWave Express is made via a cable equipped with two
plugs. This cable connects to the RJ-45 Display Jack (J2) on the CPU/System Controller
Board and RJ-45 Jack (J1) on the remote Display or Display/Keypad assembly. A
potentiometer is provided on the Display or Display/Keypad to set the contrast of the LCD
Display.
Figure 2-29 provides mounting hardware information for the Dual-button Display/Keypad
Assembly. Operation of the Display Only Assembly is briefly discussed in section 2.4.5.1.
Operation of the Dual-button Display/Keypad Assembly is discussed in section 2.4.5.2.
Figure 2-30 provides mounting hardware information for the 25-button Display/Keypad
Assembly. Information on configuring the ‘Display Function Block’ (required to configure
the Display associated with the 25-button Display/Keypad Assembly) is provided in
ControlWave Designer’s On-Line Help.
Note: Operation of the 25-button Display/Keypad Assembly is discussed in
Appendix E.
2.4.5.1 Operation of the Display Only Assembly
In normal operation, the display stays on after the unit has been configured and placed into
service. ControlWave Express Display ONLY assemblies contain an upper row consisting of
a ± LCD character along with nine 7-Segment LCD characters, and a bottom row consisting
of six 14-Segment LCD characters. Signal values controlled by the application are posted to
the upper characters and signal names are posted to the lower characters.
2.4.5.2 Operation of the Dual-button Display/Keypad Assembly
The Display will have a timeout of 20 minutes. If there has been no keypad activity for this
time the display will “logout,” i.e., the display will be turned off and scrolling stopped until
a key press occurs. When a key press occurs after a timeout the display will return to the
opening screen.
If a shorter timeout of the display is needed for power savings, another timeout may be
implemented. The processor connected to the display will control the timeout. When the
timeout occurs the display will be blanked, but communications between the ControlWave
Express CPU and display processor will still occur. The display processor will ignore
posting the messages to the screen when in the low power mode. When a key is pressed the
display processor will return to displaying information to the display.
The List Selection screen is entered from the main opening screen by pressing the right
arrow. Once here the operator can select which list is to be viewed. The operator can
traverse though different list numbers by pressing the down arrow key. When the list to be
scrolled is shown on the display, pressing the right arrow key will bring the operator to the
Display Element screen.
The Display Element screen is entered from the list selection screen by pressing the right
arrow. Once here the operator can view the variables in the list. Once entered the first
element of the list is displayed and then next element will be displayed after the scroll
timeout occurs. The scrolling will continue displaying the next element in the list and then
wrapping around to the beginning of the list. The down arrow key will toggle the display
through hold and scroll mode. Pressing the right arrow key will bring the operator to the
list selection screen.
Display/Keypad Assemblies are supported by Automatic Mode and Manual Mode.
In Automatic mode a set of screens (based on the application) are displayed. The
application programmer provides strings for the opening screen. From there the firmware is
responsible for displaying the screens and responding to key presses. Screens are fixed and
start off with an opening screen, which displays user information passed into the function
block. Users can view a list to select which list is to be scrolled. Once the list to be scrolled
has been selected, the user can scroll through the list by pressing the down arrow key. List
elements will be displayed automatically, scrolling at a predetermined rate (determined by
iiScrollTime). The user may pause on a variable by pressing the right arrow key. Pressing
the right arrow key again will cause the list to start scrolling again.
The essence of Automatic mode is that the user can supply inputs into the function that will
determine which list can be displayed, but cannot change the menu or display. The user is
allowed to select a list and to start/stop scrolling.
Manual Mode
In Manual Mode the programmer is responsible for creating each screen and displaying the
next desired screen, based on key inputs. The programmer has access to all lines of the
display and can provide any string that he/she desires to display. Special formats that must
be adhered to that allow the programmer to display what they want on the screen are
provided in the description of iaScrnSruct
Designer’s On-Line Help. It should be noted that currently, Manual Mode does not support
reading Keypad keypresses. Note: Manual Mode operation requires ControlWave Firmware 4.50 or newer.
2. Variable DC Supply: Variable to 30Vdc @ 2.5A (with vernier adjustment)
When ControlWave Express RTUs are serviced on site, it is recommended that any
associated processes be closed down or placed under manual control. This precaution will
prevent any processes from accidentally running out of control when tests are conducted.
Warning
Harmful electrical potentials may still be present at the field wiring terminals
even though the ControlWave Express power source may be turned off or
disconnected. Do not attempt to unplug termination connectors or perform any
wiring operations until all the associated supply sources are turned off and/or
disconnected.
Warning
Always turn off the any external supply sources used for externally powered
I/O circuits, before changing any printed circuit boards.
3.2 COMPONENT REMOVAL/REPLACEMENT PROCEDURES
This section provides information on accessing ControlWave Express components for
testing, as well as removal/replacement procedures.
3.2.1 Accessing Components For Testing
Testing and replacement of ControlWave Express components should only be performed by
technically qualified persons. Familiarity with the disassembly and test procedures
described in this manual are required before starting. Any damage to the ControlWave
Express resulting from improper handling or incorrect service procedures will not be
covered under the product warranty agreement. If these procedures cannot be performed
properly, the unit should be returned to the factory (with prior authorization) for evaluation
and repairs.

3.2.2 Removal/Replacement of the CPU/System Controller Board & the
Process I/O Board
1. Loosen the two Thumb Screws and remove the Removable Card Edge Cover.
2. If the ControlWave Express is running, place any critical control processes under
manual control and shut down the unit by disconnecting power to the CPU/System
Controller Board Assembly at TB1 and, if applicable, TB2.
3. Disconnect all removable card edge connectors from the CPU/System Controller
Board and the Process I/O Board making sure they are identified so they can be
returned to their assigned connectors.
4. If present, disconnect the Keypad or Keypad/Display cable from connector J2 on the
CPU/System Controller Board.
5. Carefully slide the boards out of the Enclosure/Mounting Chassis.
6. If either the CPU/System Controller Board or Process I/O Board is to be replaced,
the two units must be separated from each. Use a pair of needle nose pliers to
squeeze the pair of tabs (associated with each of the six nylon mounting posts) while
gently pulling the CPU/System Controller Board away from the Process I/O Board.
Carefully unplug the boards from their interface connectors. The replacement boards
must be aligned with each other and pressed together such that the interface
connectors and mounting posts properly mate and then must be squeezed together
such that the mounting post tabs capture the CPU/System Controller Board.
7. To install these boards, power must be off. Align the boards (assembly) with the
Enclosure/Mounting Chassis guides (such that the Process I/O Board is adjacent to
the bottom of the unit and then slide the boards (assembly) into the unit.
8. Replace all cables removed in steps 2 through 4.
9. Replace the Removable Card Edge Cover and tighten the two Thumb Screws. Apply
power and test the unit.
3.3 TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
3.3.1 CPU/System Controller Board Voltage Checks
One bulk power source or an internal battery (Primary Power System) can be connected to
the CPU/System Controller Board Assembly. Connector TB1 provides 2 input terminal
connections for bulk power (see Figure 3-3):
TB1-3 = (+VIN) (+5.4V to +16V for 6Vdc supply) (+11.4V to +16V for 12Vdc supply) (+21.8V
to +28V for 24Vdc supply)
TB1-4 = Chassis Ground - CHASSIS
3-2 / Service CI-ControlWave Express
Bulk supply voltages can be checked at TB1 using a voltmeter or multimeter. CPU/System
Click here to return to Table of Contents
Controller Board Assemblies are factory configured for use with a nominal 6Vdc or 12Vdc
bulk power supply. The maximum and minimum input power switch-points can be tested
with the use of a Variable dc Power Supply connected between TB1-3 (+) and TB1-4 (-). By
increasing the input voltage (starting at less than +4.3Vdc, 9.5Vdc or 19.2Vdc) for +6V,
+12V or +24V units respectively, you can determine the point at which the unit will turn
on, i.e., the point at which the LCD Display comes ON (Vt+). By decreasing the input
voltage (starting at +8Vdc, +16Vdc or +28Vdc), you can determine the point at which the
unit turns off, i.e., the point at which the LCD Display goes OFF (Vt-). If the value of the

approaches the value of Vt+ or Vt- it should be replaced by a battery/power supply with the
correct +6Vdc, +12Vdc or +24Vdc output.
3.3.2 LED and LCD Checks
CPU/System Controller Boards for the ControlWave GFC, GFC Plus, Express, Express
Plus, and Corrector are equipped with two red LEDs that provide the following status
conditions when lit: WD (CR1 - Right) – Indicates Watchdog condition has been detected &
IDLE (CR1 - Left) - Indicates the CPU has free time at the end of its execution cycle.
Normally, the Idle LED should be ON most of the time (unless disabled). When the Idle
LED is OFF, it indicates that the CPU has no free time, and may be overloaded.
CPU/System Controller Boards for the ControlWave Express ONLY are also equipped with
a piggyback mounted LED Board. These LEDs provide the following status conditions when
lit:
PG (Red) - ON = Power Good
WD (Red) - ON = Watchdog Condition - OFF = Normal Operation
IDLE (Red) - ON = CPU has free time at the end of its execution cycle
TX1, TX2, TX3 (Red) - ON = transmit activity on COM1, COM2 & COM3 (respectively)
RX1, RX2, RX3 (Red) - ON = receive activity on COM1, COM2 & COM3 (respectively)
Six Status LEDs (Red) - provide run time status codes (see Table 3-1 and Figure 3-1)
Normally, the Idle LED should be ON most of the time (unless disabled). When the Idle
LED is OFF, it indicates that the CPU has no free time, and may be overloaded.
Ethernet Port Connector J1 on the CPU/System Controller Board contains two LEDs that
indicate transmit (yellow) and receive (green) activity when lit.
An optional LCD Display provides system status codes that are useful in troubleshooting
the unit (see Table 3-1).

3.4 GENERALSERVICENOTES
Certain questions or situations frequently arise when servicing the ControlWave
ExpressPAC. Some items of interest are provided in Sections 3.4.1 through 3.4.4.
3.4.1 Extent of Field Repairs
Field repairs to a ControlWave Express are strictly limited to the replacement of complete
modules. Component replacement on a ControlWave Express Module constitutes tampering
and will violate the warranty. Defective ControlWave Express components (printed circuit
boards, LCD Displays, etc.) must be returned to the factory for authorized service.
Damage WILL occur to
the CPU if the Ethernet
network is connected
to connector J2!

3.4.2 Disconnecting RAM Battery
The ControlWave Express RTU Lithium RAM battery cannot be replaced while power is on.
Once the RAM battery has been replaced, the unit will still execute its FLASH-based
application (Boot Project) upon power-up, but all of the current process data will have been
lost. Upon power-up, the unit will act as though it had just been booted and it will revert
back to the initial values specified in its application. The battery may be disabled by placing
the CPU/System Controller Board’s Battery Backup Jumper (W3) onto Jumper Posts 2 and
3.
3.4.3 Maintaining Backup Files
It is essential to maintain a backup disk of each ControlWave project to guard against an
accidental loss of configuration data. Without a backup record, it will be necessary to
reconfigure the entire application; that can be a very time consuming procedure. Always
play it safe and keep backup copies of your applications. A copy of the application can be
loaded into ControlWave ExpressPAC FLASH memory and/or saved to a PC’s hard disk as
a compressed ZWT file.
3.5 WINDIAG DIAGNOSTICS
Bristol WINDIAG program provides menu-driven diagnostics that have been
designed to assist a technician or Process Engineer in troubleshooting the
various ControlWave Express circuits. For more detailed descriptions of
ControlWave Express Windows Diagnostics than those provided herein see
Document D4041A - Chapters 1 & 7C.
Bristol WINDIAG Software is a diagnostic tool used for testing ControlWave Express
electronics including, I/O circuitry, CPU memory, communications ports, etc., for proper
performance. The ControlWave Express must be communicating with a PC equipped with
the WINDIAG program. CPU/System Controller Board configuration switch SW2-8 must be
set to the OFF (Closed) position to enable diagnostics. Communication between the
ControlWave Express (with/without application loaded) and the PC can be made via a Local
or Network Port with the following restrictions:
CI-ControlWave Express Service / 3-9
• CPU/System Controller Board Switch SW2-8 must be OFF to run the WINDIAG
Click here to return to Table of Contents
program. Setting SW2-8 OFF will prevent the ‘Boot Project’ from running and will place
the unit into diagnostic mode.
• Any ControlWave Express communication port can be connected to the PC provided
their port speeds and configuration match, e.g., baud rate, parity, stop bits, protocol, etc.
This can be accomplished via user-defined Soft Switches.
• Setting CPU/System Controller Board Switch SW2-3 OFF will force ports COM2 and
COM3 to 9600 baud, 8-bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, BSAP/ControlWave Designer protocol
operation.
• Communication port COM1 is only forced to 9600 bps operation when CPU/System
Controller Board Switches SW2-3 and SW2-8 have both been set OFF. COM1 can also
be set to 9600 bps operation via user defined Soft Switches.
• Setting CPU/System Controller Board Switches SW2-3 and SW2-8 OFF prevents the
‘Boot Project’ from running, places the unit into diagnostic mode and forces
communication ports COM1, COM2 and COM3 to operate at 9600 baud.
COM1: From the factory, RS-232 Communications Port COM1 (9-pin male D-type connector
J4, or 3-pin male connector J11) on the CPU/System Controller Board defaults to
115.2 kbd (RS-232) using the BSAP Protocol. Note: Port COM1 will be configured for
RS-232 operation (at 9600 baud) by setting CPU/System Controller Board
Switches SW2-3 and SW2-8 OFF. This will prevent the boot project from running
and places the unit into diagnostic mode. CPU/System Controller Board Switch
SW2-8 must be set OFF to run the WINDIAG program. Connection to a PC requires
the use of an RS-232 “Null Modem” cable (see Figure 2-5A).
COM2: From the factory, RS-2325 Communications Port COM2 (8-position Terminal Block
TB3) on the CPU/System Controller Board defaults to 9600 baud, 8-bits, no parity,
1 stop bit, BSAP/ControlWave Designer protocol operation (RS-232).
COM3: RS-232/RS-485 Communications Port COM3 (5-position Terminal Block TB4) on
the CPU/System Controller Board defaults to 9600 baud, 8-bits, no parity, 1 stop
bit, BSAP/ControlWave Designer protocol operation. In lieu of the use of an RS-232
Port, an RS-485 cable (see Tables 2-3B & 2-4) can be connected between COM3
and a PC’s RS-485 Port.
To use the WINDIAG program place any critical processes under manual control.
WINDIAG cannot be run while the ControlWave Express application is running. Set the
CPU/System Controller Board Switch SW2-8 to the OFF position. Perform steps 1 through 6
below.
1. Start the OpenBSI NetView Program. A screen similar to Figure 3-6 will appear.
2. To start WINDIAG program, click on Start Æ Programs Æ OpenBSI Tools Æ
Common Tools Æ Diagnostics.
3. Once WINDIAG has started, the Main Diagnostics screen of Figure 3-7 will appear.

will perform the diagnostics and display pass/fail results.
5. After all diagnostic testing has been performed, exit WINDIAG program and then exit
the NetView.
When you close Netview, you will be prompted as to whether or not you want to close
OpenBSI; select Yes.
6. Set ControlWave Express CPU/System Controller Board Switch SW2-8 to the ON
(Open) position. The ControlWave Express should resume normal operation.
3.5.1 Diagnostics Using WINDIAG
ControlWave Express electronics can be tested using the WINDIAG program. From
WINDIAG’s Main Diagnostics Menu (see Figure 3-8) the following diagnostic tests can be
performed:
CPU & Peripherals Diagnostic: Checks the CPU/System Controller Board [except for
RAM & PROM (FLASH)].
PROM/RAM Diagnostic: Checks the CPU/System Controller Board’s RAM and
PROM (FLASH) hardware.
Communications Diagnostic: Checks Comm. Ports 1, 2 and 3 - The External loop-back
tests require the use of a loop-back plug.
Analog Output Diagnostic: Checks AOs on the Process I/O Board.
Analog Input Diagnostic: Checks AIs on the Process I/O Board.
Discrete I/O Diagnostic: Checks DIs or DOs on the Process I/O Board.
High Speed Counter Diagnostic: Checks HSCs on the Process I/O Board & Pulse Counter
Inputs on the CPU/System Controller Board.
Keyboard & Display Diagnostics Checks Keyboard/Keypad & Display hardware
3.5.1.1 Communications Diagnostic Port Loop-back Test
WINDIAG’s Communications Diagnostic Menu (see Figure 3-10) provides for selection of
the communication port to be tested. Depending on the type of network (RS-232 or RS-485)
and the port in question, a special loop-back plug is required as follows:
Port 1 - RS-232 use a 9-pin female D-type loop-back plug (see Fig. 3-8).
Port 2 - RS-232 use loop-back wires (see Figure 3-8).
Port 3 - RS-232 use loop-back wires (see Figure 3-9)
Port 3 - RS-485 use loop-back wires or CPU Switch SW3 (see Figure 3-9).
This group of tests verifies the correct operation of the Communication Interface. COM1,
COM2 and COM3 can be tested with this diagnostic. The ControlWave Express
communication port that is connected to the PC (local or network and used for running
these tests) cannot be tested until diagnostics has been established via one of the other
ports, i.e., to test all ControlWave Express communication ports (via WINDIAG),
communications with the PC will have to be established twice (each time via a different
port). It should be noted that the ControlWave Express communication port that is
connected to the PC (RS-232, RS-485 or Ethernet) must be good for WINDIAG to run the
Communications Diagnostics
Note: RS-485 Loopback can be achieved via CPU Switches SW3-1 & SW3-2 set ON
3.5.1.2 Serial Comm. Port External Loop-back Test Procedure
Connect an external loop-back plug or loop-back wires to the Communication Port to be
tested (see Figures 3-8 and 3-9).
1. Type "1," "2," "3," or "4" for the port to test.
2. Set baud rate to test to 115200 baud or ALL ASYNC and the number of passes to 5.
3. Click on RUN button next to External loop-back.
! Test responses:
a) Success - All sections of test passed
b) Failure - TXD RXD Failure
- CTS RTS Failure
! Execution time < 5 sec.

3.6 CORE UPDUMP
In some cases a copy of the contents of SRAM and SDRAM can be uploaded to a PC for
evaluation by Emerson Remote Automation Solutions division engineers. This upload is
referred to as a ‘Core Updump.’ A Core Updump may be required if the ControlWave
Express repeatedly enters a ‘Watchdog State’ thus ill-effecting system operation. A
Watchdog State is entered when the system crashes, i.e., a CPU timeout occurs due to
improper software operation, a firmware glitch, etc. In some cases the Watchdog State may
reoccur but may not be logically reproduced.
‘Crash Blocks’ (a function of firmware provided for watchdog troubleshooting) are stored in
CPU RAM. The user can view and save the ‘Crash Blocks’ by viewing the Crash Block
Statistic Web Page (see the Web_BSI Manual - D5087). Crash Block files should be
forwarded to Emerson support personnel for evaluation.
Follow the five steps below to perform a Core Updump.
3-14 / Service CI-ControlWave Express
1. Set CPU/System Controller Board Switch SW2-1 OFF (Disable Watchdog Timer). If
Click here to return to Table of Contents
Switch SW2-4 is ON, set it to OFF (Enable Core Updump). Note: The factory default
setting for SW2-4 is OFF.
2. Wait for the error condition (typically 3F on CPU/System Controller Board Status LEDs
or NOTRUN on optional LCD Display).
3. Connect ControlWave Express Comm. Port 1 to a PC using a half-duplex Null Modem
Cable (see Figures 2-5A).
4. Set CPU/System Controller Board Switch (SW1- Recovery) so that SW1-1 and SW1-2
are both in either the ON position or the OFF position.
5. Start the PC’s HyperTerminal Program (at 115.2kbaud) and generate a file using the
1KX-Modem protocol. Save the resulting Core Updump in a file to be forwarded for
evaluation.
When the Core Updump has been completed, set the CPU/System Controller Board’s
Recovery Switch as follows: SW1-1 is in the OFF position & SW1-2 is in the ON position.
3.7 CALIBRATION CHECKS
Calibration of the RTD is performed using OpenBSI’s TechView program (see document #
