Revised Aug-2015 Introduction 1-5
ControlWave Instruction Manual
CPU Memory
There are several different types of memory used on the CPU module:
Boot/Downloader FLASH
Boot/download code is contained in a single 512 Kbyte FLASH chip.
Boot FLASH also holds the value of soft switches, audit/archive file
configurations, and user account and port information.
FLASH Memory
The CPU module contains 32 MB of FLASH memory. The FLASH
memory holds the system firmware and the boot project. Optionally
FLASH memory also stores the zipped ControlWave project (*.zwt),
user files, and historical data (audit/archive files).The FLASH does not
support hardware write protection.
System Memory (SRAM)
The CPU module has 2 MB of static random access memory (SRAM).
During power loss periods, SRAM enters data retention mode (powered
by the CPU backup battery). Critical system information that must be
retained during power outages or when the system has been disabled for
maintenance is stored here. This includes the last states of all I/O points,
audit/archive historical data (if not stored in FLASH), the values of any
variables marked RETAIN, the values of any variables assigned to the
static memory area, and any pending alarm messages not yet reported.
SDRAM
The CPU module contains 64MB of synchronous dynamic random
access memory (SDRAM). SDRAM holds the running application
(ControlWave project) as well as a copy of system firmware and the
current values of any variables not marked RETAIN or stored in the
static memory area. This allows the system to run faster than it will
from the SRAM memory. SDRAM is not battery-backed.
CMOS RAM
The Elan microprocessor includes 124 bytes of complementary metal
oxide semiconductor (CMOS) RAM to hold various internal
parameters.
1-6 Introduction Revised Aug-2015
1.5 Power Supply/Sequencer Module (PSSM)
The Power Supply/Sequencer module (PSSM) takes power from an
external bulk DC power supply and then provides power through the
ControlWave housing/backplane to all installed modules.
You can order it with either a single on-board power supply or dual onboard power supplies to support hot-swapping of a power supply if one
should fail.
The PSSM operates from +22.2 to +30V (dc) and ships from the factory
with a nominal input supply configuration of 24V.
The PSSM includes:
ON/OFF system supply switch(es)
Pluggable terminal block to connect the external power supply
Watchdog output connector to signal a watchdog failure to an
external device
Status LEDs Chapter 2 includes instructions for installing and configuring the PSSM.

Notes:
There are many different types of I/O modules available. Chapter
3 contains detailed instructions on each I/O module.
Universal Digital Input (UDI) modules can only reside in the first
four I/O slots.
One or more bezel assemblies; each bezel covers two I/O
modules.
2.2.3 Mounting the Housing
You can install a ControlWave equipped with a 4-I/O module housing
on a wall or panel. See Figure 2-2 for mounting hole patterns for a 4-
I/O unit.
You can install a ControlWave equipped with an 8-I/O module housing
in a 19-inch equipment rack, a panel or a wall. These units ship from the
factory with the end plates configured for 19-inch rack mounting.
Remove the end plates, rotate them 180° and then reinstall them to
accommodate panel or wall mounting. See Figure 2-1 for hole patterns
and dimensions.
When you install any of these units on a panel or wall, position it
according to the following restrictions:
Position the unit so that you can see the front of the assembly and so
it is accessible for service such as installing a module or replacing a
battery.
Do not install ControlWave modules until you mount the housing
Do not install any modules in the housing until you mount and ground
the housing at the designated installation site.
Housings have a ground lug that accommodates up to a #4 AWG wire
Once you install the housing, you must run a ground wire between
size.
the housing ground lug and a known good earth ground.
When you install the various ControlWave modules into the housing
and secure them using the captive panel fasteners, this automatically
connects them to chassis ground.
Note: After you install the PSSM in the housing, as an added
precaution we recommend that you run a #14 AWG wire from
the TB2-3 power connection (chassis ground) to the same known
good earth ground.
Additional grounding guidelines include:
Use stranded copper wire (#4 AWG) for the housing to earth
ground, and keep the length as short as possible.
Clamp or braze the ground wire to the ground bed conductor
(typically a stranded copper AWG 0000 cable installed vertically or
horizontally).
Tin the wire ends with solder (using a high-wattage soldering iron)
prior to inserting the wire into the housing ground lug.
Run the ground wire so that any routing bend in the cable has a
minimum radius of 12-inches below ground and 8-inches above
ground.
2.3 Power Supply/Sequencer Module (PSSM)
ControlWave Instruction Manual
Before we actually install the PSSM it in the housing, we’re going to
discuss some general information about how it works.
2.3.1 General Information about the PSSM
The Power Supply/Sequencer module (PSSM) takes power from an
external bulk DC power supply and then provides power through the
ControlWave housing/backplane to all installed modules.
The PSSM is used in the following ControlWave models:
The PSSM plugs into slot #1 (first slot from the left) on the
ControlWave’s backplane using connector J1.
The PSSM provides your ControlWave with dual power supplies for
operational redundancy.
Note: You can optionally purchase the PSSM with only a single power
supply installed, however, this configuration does not allow for
redundancy within the PSSM which is discussed throughout this
section.
The PSSM includes two independent power supplies. Should either
power supply fail, operations automatically continue using the second
supply, and you can “hot-swap” the failed power supply with a spare
unit without interrupting control operations. The PSSM also supports
hot swapping of I/O modules. However, you cannot replace the entire
PSSM itself without first turning off power to the ControlWave.
Revised Aug-2015 Installation 2-7
ControlWave Instruction Manual
When used as part of a redundant system, the failure of one of the two
power supplies in a redundant power supply sequencer module would
not force a failover to the other controller. Only the loss of both power
supplies on the redundant power supply sequencer module would
trigger a failover.

Redundancy
Control Input
The PSSM ships from the factory configured for a nominal input supply
of 24Vdc.
Do not perform “hot swapping” in a Class I, Division 2 hazardous
location.
The PSSM supports “hot swapping” of I/O modules. This means you
can insert or remove an I/O module from the chassis while power is
live.
There is no support for “hot swapping” of the entire PSSM itself, or the
CPU module, however, if you have the dual power supply version, you
can hot swap a power supply on the PSSM. For information on hot
swapping of power supplies see Section 2.3.6.
PSSMs include a watchdog metal oxide semiconductor field-effect
transistor (MOSFET) switch connector. The purpose of the watchdog
connector is to trigger an external alarm or annunciator if the
ControlWave enters a “watchdog” condition in which the CPU cannot
control your process. This occurs on power-up before the ControlWave
project starts, if the unit is reset, if the ControlWave project “crashes”
or if the system loses power. See Section 2.3.7.
The same terminal block (TB3) used for watchdog control also handles
a redundancy control line to a ControlWave Redundant I/O Switcher.
2.3.2 PSSM Installation Overview
There are several steps you need to follow when you install the PSSM.
1. Identify the carton holding the PSSM and remove it from that carton.
See Section 2.2.1.
2. If needed, set jumpers. See Section 2.3.3.
3. Slide the PSSM into slot #1 of the housing.

6. If you want to use the watchdog connector TB3, or use this
ControlWave in a redundant system, unplug TB3 from the PSSM and
wire it to an external annunciator or similar device according to
instructions in Section 2.3.7.
7. After you configure and install the CPU module in slot #2 re-connect
terminal blocks to their connectors to apply power to the unit.
2.3.3 Setting Jumpers
Depending upon how you are using the PSSM, you may have to change
one or more jumpers from their factory default positions. See Table 2-1
for a list of the jumpers and their functions; see Figure 2-5 for jumper
locations.

JP3 1-2 Enables the 12V monitor.
This is the default. When enabled, the PSSM reports a failure when voltage falls
below 12V and lights the PWR Down LED to indicate the failure.
2-3 Disables the 12V monitor.
When disabled, the PSSM does not report a failure if voltage falls below 12V.
If you need to change the jumper positions, unscrew the protective case
from the PSSM using a Phillips screwdriver (see Figure 2-4).

Make the necessary adjustments to the jumpers according to Table 2-1.
When finished, re-attach the case by first aligning the protective case
with the screw holes, then inserting and tightening each screw.
2.3.4 General Wiring Guidelines
ControlWave PSSMs use compression-type terminals. TB1 and TB2
accommodate up to #14 AWG wire. The maximum wire size for
TB3 is 16 AWG wire.
When making a connection, insert the bare end of the wire (approx
¼” max) into the clamp adjacent to the screw and secure the wire.
To prevent shorts, ensure that no bare wire is exposed. If using
standard wire, tin the bare end with solder to prevent flattening and
improve conductivity.
Allow some slack in the wire while making terminal connections.
Slack makes the wires more manageable and helps minimize
mechanical strain on the terminal blocks.

provides system power to the ControlWave including the CPU boards,
communications and I/O boards (see Figure 2-6). The PSSM converts,
regulates, and filters the power to +5Vdc, +3.3Vdc, +12Vdc (optional)
and -12Vdc (optional).
+3.3 Vdc. For safety, this circuit has a 3A fuse.
The bulk DC supply you connect to terminal TB2-1 (+VINF) powers
the I/O field devices connected to the I/O modules. For safety, this
circuit has a 10A fuse.
Notes:
When you require two bulk power supplies, the first supply (VIN)
must be rated to handle 2 amps.
Be sure you route wires to the terminal block connectors so they do
not interfere with removal/replacement of the power supply
modules.
The fuses for the PSSM cannot be replaced in the field.
Figure 2-6. Wiring System Power to the PSSM
An external power supply (22.2 to 30V) connected to TB2 provides
field power to I/O boards, and any field devices (switches, relays, etc.)
powered through the I/O boards (see Figure 2-7).

refers to the sum of the maximum current required by each
and every I/O module installed in the unit. The amount per
I/O module varies as follows:
16 AI Module 2A per module
8 AI Module 1A per module
8 AO Module 1A per module
16 DI Module 1A per module
32 DI Module 1A per module
16 DO Module See table (no surge current)
32 DO Module See table (no surge current)
6 UDI Module See table (no surge current)
4 RTD Module See table (no surge current)
6 LLAI Module See table (no surge current)
So, for example, if you have a ControlWave with a 16AI module, an
8AO module, and a 32DI module, the maximum current draw is 1A for
the CPU plus 2A for the 16AI module plus 1A for the 8AO module and
1A for the 32DI module, for a total of 5A.
Note: This calculation covers current draw during normal operation
(steady state) as well as the current draw during power-up inrush when the unit is first powered on. Power up in-rush current
can last up to 100 milliseconds and is higher than the current
draw required during normal operation.
Refer to Table 2-2 for ControlWave steady state and loop current
requirements for bulk power supplies.

2.3.6 Hot-swapping a Power Supply
ControlWave Instruction Manual
WARNING
ON/OFF switch for power
supply
OFF = down position (shown)
ON = up position
DO NOT ATTEMPT hot swapping in a Class I, Division 2
hazardous location.
Each power supply has a Power Good indication LED (see Chapter 5
for LED locations.) If this light goes out while the power supply is on,
the power supply’s output voltage is out of specification. This could
occur if the supply is not properly seated in the slot or if its fuse has
blown. Remove the power supply to check for these conditions. If
neither condition has occurred, you may need to replace the power
supply.
To remove one of the power supplies, first turn the power supply’s
ON/OFF switch off (the down position, as shown in Figure 2-8).
Loosen the plastic screw either by hand or with a Phillips screwdriver.
Grasp the bracket and gently pull the power supply straight out of the
assembly.

2.3.7 Wiring an External Alarm or Annunciator to the Watchdog
Connector and Wiring the Redundancy Control Input
(OPTIONAL)
Caution
At this time you can also connect power and watchdog wiring.
However; for safety reasons and to prevent accidental damage to the
your bulk DC power supply, do not connect the pluggable terminal
block connectors TB1, TB2, or TB3 to the PSSM until after you install,
wire, and configure the CPU module.
Follow the instructions in Section 2.3.4 General Wiring Guidelines when
wiring connections.
When the CPU’s hardware detects improper software operation, it
triggers a watchdog condition and resets the CPU. If you have enabled
the watchdog output using jumper JP1, the watchdog condition triggers
a failure to the redundant unit.
The circuit that drives the watchdog switch is on the secondary side of
the power supply. A solid state relay actuates the watchdog hardware
and is factory enabled or disabled via jumper JP1 (see Setting Jumpers).
Figure 2-9. Watchdog Switch Field Wiring
The VI input of the terminal block (TB3-6) powers the watchdog
switch. Its switched output connects to the VO output of the terminal
block (TB3-5). Reference the external power source connected to the VI
terminal to the return point of the input source that powers the PSSM [VIN (TB1-2)].
PSSM connector TB3 provides watchdog switch and redundancy
control connections as follows:
Connections
TB3-5 = VO - Watchdog switch output
TB3-6 = VI - Watchdog switch input
TB3-7 = VR - Redundant unit control input (Used with CW RED I/O)

ControlWave Instruction Manual
When using a pair of ControlWave I/O expansion racks, each with a
PSSM, and a ControlWave Redundant I/O and Communications Switch
Unit (the redundant I/O switcher), the choice of which unit is “online”
and which unit is “backup” is determined by redundancy control line
wiring between the ControlWave I/O redundancy control module
(IORCM) on the I/O switcher, and each I/O expansion rack (See Figure
2-10).
Wire terminal block connector TB3-7 on the “A” I/O expansion rack
PSSM to TB2-1 on the IORCM, and TB2-2 on the IORCOM to 24V.
Similarly, wire terminal block connector TB3-7 on the “B” I/O

2.3.8 Wiring Digital Inputs to indicate Power Supply Failure
Each power supply on the PSSM drives a solid state relay contact closed
during normal operation. In a failure, this contact opens. You can
optionally wire the contact to a digital input (either externally or
internally sourced) to provide indication of a power supply failure. You
must wire the contact differently depending upon whether the digital
input supports internally sourced or externally sourced power. See Table
2-3 for details.

Port Cables
For the ControlWave, half-duplex communications use BSAP protocol
or another protocol such as Modbus, while full-duplex communications
use point-to-point protocol (PPP). RS-232 ports use a “null modem”
cable (see Figure 2-15) to connect with other devices (such as a PC, a
printer, another ControlWave [except the CW_10/30/35]) when the
ControlWave uses the full-duplex PPP protocol.
If you don’t want to make your own cables, as described in this section,
you can purchase cables.
You can purchase a null modem cable using part number 392843-
01-3.
Note: You can configure the ControlWave as either a master or slave
node on a BSAP network.

Guidelines
Observe the following guidelines when constructing RS-232
communication cables:
Ensure that DCD is high to transmit
Set CTS to high to transmit.
If the port is set for full-duplex operation, RTS is always ON.
Ensure that DTR is always high when port is active
Note: Control DTR using the PORTCONTROL function block and
the _Pn_AUTO_DTR system variable in your ControlWave
project. If you turn DTR off through these mechanisms, the
port remains off, even though hardware is fully configured.
When port is set for half-duplex operation, CTS must go low after
RTS goes low.
All RS-232 ports are protected by surge protectors (to 8KV ESD).

Since the RS-485 port is intended for network communications, refer to
Table 2-14 for the appropriate connections for wiring the master, first
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 (daisy-
Revised Aug-2015 Installation 2-29
ControlWave Instruction Manual
chained) across the same lines. Wire the master node to one end of the
RS-485 cable run using a 24-gauge paired conductor cable (such as a
Belden 9843).
Note: ControlWave only supports half-duplex RS-485 networks.
To ensure that the “Receive Data” lines are in a proper state during
inactive transmission periods, you must maintain certain bias voltage
levels at the master and most distant slave units (end nodes). These end
nodes also require the insertion of 100Ω terminating resistors to
properly balance the network.

From Master To First Slave To nth Slave
TXD+ RXD+ RXD+
TXD– RXD– RXD–
RXD+ TXD+ TXD+
RXD– TXD– TXD–
ISOGND ISOGND ISOGND
You must also configure secondary communication board switches at
each node to establish proper network performance. Accomplish this by
configuring switches listed so that the 100Ω termination resistors and
biasing networks are installed at the end nodes and are removed at all
other nodes on the network. You enable receiver biasing and
termination using SCB switch SW1 (for COM3) and SCB switch SW2
(for COM4). See Table 2-7 in Section 2.4.1 Setting DIP Switches on the CPU Modules for information on RS-485 termination and loopback
control switch settings.
2.4.4 Connections to Ethernet Port(s) on the CPU Module
The ControlWave can support from one to three Ethernet ports. These
use a 10/100Base-T RJ-45 modular connector that provides a shielded
twisted pair interface to an Ethernet hub. Two LEDs per port provide
transmit and receive status indications:

A typical Ethernet hub provides eight 10/100Base-T RJ-45 ports (with
port 8 having the capability to link either to another hub or to an
Ethernet communications port). Both ends of the Ethernet twisted pair
cable are equipped with modular RJ-45 connectors.

These cables have a one-to-one wiring configuration as shown in Figure
2-21. Table 2-16 provides the assignment and definitions of the 8-pin
10/100Base-T connectors.

Note: You can swap TX and RX at the hub.
You can connect two nodes in a point-to-point configuration without
using a hub. However, you must configure the cable so that the TX+/Data pins connect to the RX+/- Data pins (swapped) at the opposite
ends of the cable (see Figure 2-22).

The maximum length of one segment (CPU to hub) is 100 meters (328
feet). The use of Category 5 shielded cable is recommended.
2.5 Bezels
The bezel is a blue plastic cover (see Figure 2-23) that protects the CPU
and PSSM modules. Another function of the bezel is to let you route
bundled wires and cables downward between the modules and the bezel.
The factory ships a version of the bezel appropriate to the options you
ordered.
You should install the bezel whenever the ControlWave is operational.
The bezel includes a door you can open to access the PSSM and CPU
modules. If necessary, you can remove the bezel for maintenance
procedures.
To install the bezel, align the snaps on the bezel with the corresponding
holders on the chassis. Once you have it positioned, push gently and the
bezel snaps into place.
To remove the bezel, gently grasp its sides and pull out and away from
the chassis.

Chapter 3 – I/O Modules
This chapter discusses the placement and wiring for I/O modules in the
ControlWave. The chapter begins with some general instructions on
module installation and wiring guidelines that are common to most I/O
modules. The balance of the chapter includes specific details for
configuring and wiring each type of I/O module.
Installing any I/O module in the ControlWave involves the same basic
steps:
1. Remove the I/O module from the shipping carton. I/O modules
include a removable terminal housing assembly. This assembly has
a door that swings downward to provide access to the unit’s terminal
handle you can use to remove an installed I/O module once you
loosen the captive panel fasteners.
Note: Modules normally ship from the factory completely
assembled.
2. Turn the terminal block’s quarter turn fasteners (counterclockwise)
and remove the terminal housing assembly from the I/O module (see
Figure 3-1).
3. Wire the modules according to instructions for each individual
module, included later in this chapter. I/O modules support local
terminations (field wiring connected directly to the I/O module’s
terminal block PCB) or remote terminations (field wiring connected
to a remote DIN-rail mounted terminal block assembly). See Section
3.3.1 for information on local termination wiring and Section
3.33.3.2 for information on remote termination wiring.
4. Align the I/O module with the assigned I/O slot and gently push the
module into the chassis. When the assembly is fully seated, turn the
I/O module’s captive panel fasteners (clockwise) to secure the unit
Revised Aug-2015 I/O Modules 3-1
ControlWave Instruction Manual
to the chassis; this establishes a low resistance path between the I/O
module and chassis ground.
5. Install the local or remote terminal block assembly (with wiring
harness) onto the I/O module (turning the quarter turn fasteners
(clockwise)).
6. Replace the module’s terminal housing assembly.
Figure 3-1. Terminal Housing Assembly Removal
7. Using a PC running the ControlWave Designer and OpenBSI
software, configure the ControlWave to accept the new I/O modules
and download the revised ControlWave project.
Note: This step is beyond the scope of this manual. Refer to the
The ControlWave process automation controller supports “hot
swapping” of I/O modules, but before any I/O modules can become
operational, you must use ControlWave Designer to configure the
project to accept the new I/O module, and then compile and download
the revised application (project).
Do not install any modules in the housing until you have mounted and
grounded the housing at the designated installation site.
To ensure safe use of this product, please review and follow the
instructions in the following supplemental documentation:
WARNING
3.1 Module Placement
You can place I/O modules in the housing:
Supplement Guide - ControlWave Site Considerations for

hazardous location.
6-slot housing: supports up to four I/O modules in slots 3 through 6.
10 slot housing: supports up to eight I/O modules in slots 3 through
10.
Note: Interrupt driven I/O modules, such as the Universal Digital Input
(UDI) cannot reside in slots 7 through 10 of the 10 slot housing.
Most of the I/O modules include one or more light emitting diodes
(LEDs) to provide diagnostic or status indications.
See Chapter 5 for information on the different LEDs.
3.3 Wiring
With a few exceptions (noted in the module descriptions), I/O modules
support either “local termination” (field wiring connected directly to the
3-4 I/O Modules Revised Aug-2015
module’s removable terminal blocks) or “remote termination” (field
wiring connected to the remote headers under the module’s cover and
routed to a DIN-rail mounted terminal assembly and then to field
devices).
ControlWave I/O modules use compression-type terminals that
accommodate up to #14 AWG wire. Insert the wire’s bared end (approx.
¼” max) into the clamp beneath the screw and secure the wire. To
prevent shorts, ensure that no bare wire is exposed. 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. Slack makes the wires more manageable and helps
minimize mechanical strain on the terminal blocks.
3.3.1 Local Termination
For I/O modules equipped with local terminal blocks, install the field
wiring between the I/O module’s removable terminal block connectors
and field devices (see Figure 3-3). Use AWG 14 or smaller wire
(consult with the field device manufacturer for recommendations).
Leave some slack and plan for wire routing, identification, and
maintenance. Route the bundled wires out through the bottom of the I/O
module assembly between the terminal block and the terminal housing.
For I/O modules that support remote terminations, install cables
between the module’s remote headers and the remote DIN-rail mounted
terminal block assemblies (see Figure 3-4). Install field wiring between
the DIN-rail mounted terminal bock assembly and field devices (see the
wiring diagrams associated with each I/O module description).
Use AWG 14 or smaller wire (consult with the field device
manufacturer for recommendations) for remote terminations. Leave
some slack and plan for wire routing, identification, and maintenance.
Route the cables running between the I/O module and the DIN-rail
mounted terminal blocks out through the bottom of the I/O module
between the header block and the terminal housing assembly.
To provide access to the header block’s lower ¼ turn fastener use a
tie wrap to secure cables associated with connectors P3 and P4 to the
lower left side of the header block assembly. Use a second tie wrap to
secure cables for connectors P1 and P2 to the lower right side of the
header block assembly.
3.3.3 Shielding and Grounding
Use twisted-pair, shielded and insulated cable for I/O signal wiring to
minimize signal errors caused by electromagnetic interference (EMI),
radio frequency interference (RFI), and transients. When using shielded
cable, ground all shields at only one point in the appropriate system.
This prevents circulating ground current loops that can cause signal
errors.
DI modules provide 16 or 32 digital inputs. Using jumpers, you can
individually configure each input as either externally sourced or
internally powered using an internal +21Vdc power supply (dry
contacts).
Note: Early versions of ControlWave DI modules required you to
specify either internal or external sourcing for all DIs when you
ordered the module; now you can set this yourself using jumpers
on a per DI basis.

Revised Aug-2015 I/O Modules 3-13

operating in online mode monitors the DO values of its standby
counterpart in order to verify that standby DO values are consistent should
a failover occur. Depending upon software configuration settings; a
failover can be prevented if they are inconsistent. A standard DO module
used in a redundant system does not perform this monitoring; therefore
the potential exists to failover to a backup DO module with failed
hardware. For critical processes, the redundant DO with read-back
capability is recommended.
Use the same DO module type in any redundant pair; do not install a DO
with read-back module in the primary controller and a standard DO
module as its redundant counterpart in the backup controller, or vice
versa.
See Software Configuration later in this section for details on setting up
DO with readback.

Handbook (D5125) for more information. That same manual includes
an I/O Mapping section that describes, for advanced users, the I/O map
for this module.
DO with Readback in a Redundant System
Variables in the ControlWave project govern how inconsistencies
between the online DO module and the standby DO module are
handled in redundant systems with DO readback. Information on
configuring system variables is included in the ControlWave Designer Programmer’s Handbook (D5125).
If there is a discrepancy between the value of the online and standby
DOs, the system sets a status variable to TRUE. For local I/O boards,
this is a system variable that follows the format:
_RDN_IO_n_ERR
where n is the I/O slot number of the DO module in the backup unit
that has a failure.
For boards residing in an I/O expansion rack, instead of a system
variable, a variable mapped by the _ER_STAT virtual status board
provides this indication. By default, the name of the variable follows
one of two possible formats.
ERSTAT_n_RDN_IO_x_ERR
ERST_n_RDN_IO_x_ERR
where n is the I/O slot number of the virtual ER_STAT board, and x is
the I/O slot number of the digital output module. See the I/O
Configurator and I/O Mapping sections of the ControlWave Designer
Programmer's Handbook (D5125) for more information. You can
optionally rename these variables.
You should configure these variables as alarms so you receive
notification of a failure of the backup DO module. See the
ControlWave Designer online help for information on alarm
configuration.
When a read-back failure occurs, the FAIL LED remains RED until the
unit reboots, either through a sideload, forced redundant switchover, or
power-down and restart, or you remove and replace the board (hot card
replacement). Each of these operations momentarily turns the FAIL
LED to GREEN (and the associated _ERR error variable to FALSE)
until a new readback failure occurs, which changes the LED back to
RED, and the associated _ERR error variable back to TRUE.
For boards installed locally in the controller (local I/O), another system
variable (_RDN_IOERR_WARN) determines whether a failure of the
standby DO (as indicated by the LED and associated _ERR error
variable) should only be treated as a warning condition, which would
still allow a failover to occur, or as an error which would prevent a
3-18 I/O Modules Revised Aug-2015
ControlWave Instruction Manual
failover to the standby.
When you set this system variable to FALSE, the system treats a DO
readback failure in the associated device as an error; failover is
inhibited. When you set this variable to TRUE, the system treats a DO
readback failure in the associated device as a warning that does not
prevent a failover, and the only reporting is via the _RDN_IO_x_ERR
system variables and LEDs discussed, above.
For boards residing in an I/O expansion rack, instead of a system
variable for this purpose, you must map a variable from the
_ER_STAT virtual status board named either
ERSTAT_RDN_IOERR_WARN (or ERST_RDN_IOERR_WARN).
NOTE: Those are the default names, you can change them as needed.
Note: In the I/O Configurator, you must associate these boards with a
cyclic task, and the task must not run faster than 10
milliseconds.

housing’s ground lug.
This ground bus must accommodate a connection to a known good earth
ground (in lieu of a direct connection from the ground lug) and to all AI
cable shields. Shield wires should use an appropriate terminal lug.
Secure them to the copper bus using industry rugged hardware
(screw/bolt, lock washer, and nuts).

An AO with read-back module operating in online mode monitors the
AO values of its standby counterpart in order to verify that standby AO
values are consistent should a failover occur. Depending upon software
configuration settings; a failover can be prevented if they are

Use the same AO module type in any redundant pair – i.e. do not
install an AO with read-back module in the primary controller and a
standard AO module as its redundant counterpart in the backup
controller, or vice versa.

AO with Readback in a Redundant System
Variables in the ControlWave project govern how inconsistencies
between the online AO module and the standby AO module are
handled in redundant systems with AO readback. Information on
configuring system variables is included in the ControlWave Designer Programmer’s Handbook (D5125).
If there is a difference of more than 0.5% (of span) between the value
of the online and standby AO values, a variable will be set TRUE. For
local I/O boards, this is a system variable that follows the format:
_RDN_IO_n_ERR
where n is the I/O slot number of the AO module.
For boards residing in an I/O expansion rack, instead of a system
variable, this indication is provided by a variable mapped by the
_ER_STAT virtual status board. By default, the name of the variable
follows one of two possible formats.
ERSTAT_n_RDN_IO_x_ERR
ERST_n_RDN_IO_x_ERR
where n is the I/O slot number of the virtual ER_STAT board, and x is
the I/O slot number of the analog output module. See the I/O Configurator and I/O Mapping sections of the ControlWave Designer
3-28 I/O Modules Revised Aug-2015
ControlWave Instruction Manual
Programmer's Handbook (D5125) for more information. You can
optionally rename these variables.
You should configure these variables as alarms so you receive
notification of a failure of the backup AO module. See the
ControlWave Designer online help for information on alarm
configuration.
When a read-back failure occurs, the FAIL LED remains RED until the
unit is rebooted, either through a sideload, forced redundant
switchover, or power-down and restart, or you remove and replace the
board (hot card replacement). Each of these operations momentarily
turns the FAIL LED to GREEN (and the associated _ERR error
variable to FALSE) until a new readback failure occurs, which will
change the LED back to RED, and the associated _ERR error variable
back to TRUE.
For boards installed locally in the controller (local I/O) another system
variable (_RDN_IOERR_WARN) determines whether a failure of the
standby AO (as indicated by the LED and associated _ERR error
variable) should only be treated as a warning condition, which would
still allow a failover to occur, or as an error which would prevent a
failover to the standby.
When you set this system variable to FALSE, an AO readback failure
in the associated device is treated as an error; failover is inhibited.
When you set this variable to TRUE, an AO readback failure in the
associated device is treated as a warning that does not prevent a
failover, and the only reporting is via the _RDN_IO_x_ERR system
variables and LEDs discussed, above.
For boards residing in an I/O expansion rack, instead of a system
variable for this purpose, you must have mapped a variable from the
_ER_STAT virtual status board named either
ERSTAT_RDN_IOERR_WARN (or ERST_RDN_IOERR_WARN).
NOTE: Those are the default names, you can change them as needed.
Note: In the I/O Configurator, you must associate these boards with a
cyclic task, and the task must not run faster than 10
milliseconds.

Enabling/Disabling
LEDs using jumper
The RTD Input Module consists of an isolated RTD input board, a
terminal board assembly (for local termination) or a header block
assembly (for remote termination), an LED board, a terminal housing
assembly, as well as I/O assembly and mounting hardware.
For additional technical specifications, please see document
CWPAC:TEMP available on our website
http://www.emersonprocess.com/remote.
The isolated RTD module (general part number 396878-XX-X) has the
following configurations
The Isolated RTD Module includes a jumper (W1) to enable/disable
LEDs on the module. Normally, you should keep the LEDs enabled,
but if power conservation is an issue, you could disable the LEDs.
Figure 3-31 shows field wiring assignments for locally terminated
isolated RTD modules. Figure 3-32 shows field wiring assignments for
remotely terminated isolated RTD modules.
Figure 3-30 provides wiring diagrams for 2-wire, 3-wire, and 4-wire
RTDs to the local RTD module terminal blocks; wiring assignments,
such as +RTD#_3/4W, -RTD#_4W, +RTD# and –RTD# are similar to
those assigned to the Remote DIN-rail mountable terminal blocks.
Note: To maintain specified accuracy with a 3-wire RTD, you must
match the two field wires that source and sink the RTD current
within 0.01 ohms (matched in length and matched in wire type)
and the ambient temperature on these wires must be the same.
Figure 3-31. Local Isolated RTD Module Terminal Block Assembly Assignments
Software Configuration
To use data from an Isolated RTD Input module you must add a
CWM_RTD8 board in ControlWave Designer’s I/O Configurator, and
then configure it. See the ControlWave Designer Programmer's Handbook (D5125) for more information. That same manual includes
an I/O Mapping section that describes, for advanced users, the I/O map
for this module.
Thermocouple modules (sometimes known as low level analog inputs)
provide six individually isolated differential inputs for thermocouples or
10mV inputs plus one cold junction compensation (CJC) input for
temperature compensation at the terminal block.

The Isolated Thermocouple Module includes a jumper (W2) to
enable/disable LEDs on the module. Normally, you should keep the
LEDs enabled, but if power conservation is an issue, you could disable
the LEDs.
Figure 3-34 shows field wiring for locally terminated isolated
thermocouple modules. Figure 3-35 shows field wiring for remotely
terminated isolated thermocouple modules.
The cold junction compensation (CJC) with a built-in RTD provides
thermocouple temperature compensation at the terminal block and is
electrically isolated. Pins 8, 9 and 10 of the local terminal block source
and sink the CJC’s RTD.
Figure 3-35 also provides diagrams showing the wiring for
thermocouples and the 3-wire RTDs to a locally terminated TC module.
Wiring assignments (that is, +AI#, -AI#, +CJC (Sense), -CJC (Return)
& +CJC (Reference) are similar to those assigned to the remote DINrail mountable terminal blocks. A small CJC PCB is factory-installed to
the terminal block.
Table 3-20 provides the accuracy, resolution and temperature range for
the various thermocouples and 10mV LLAI inputs. Table 3-21 lists the

4.1 Powering Up/Powering Down the ControlWave
ControlWave Instruction Manual
Open the bezel door on the PSSM and position the power switch (or
switches if you have dual supplies) to the OFF (down) position to turn
the ControlWave OFF or to the ON (up) position to turn it ON.
ON position (up) to turn ON the power supply

and Local functions depend on how you configured the communication
port in ControlWave Designer (serial, IP, or OpenBSI).
IP/OpenBSI (BSAP): If you configure the communication port for
either of these choices in ControlWave Designer it becomes a
remote port: set the Run/Remote/Local switch to Remote for
downloads.
Serial: If you configure the communication port for serial in
ControlWave Designer, it becomes a local port: set the
Run/Remote/Local switch to Local for downloads.
Note: Setting the Run/Remote/Local switch to Local enables
communications through any comm port. However, if you
set the switch to Remote, that restricts communications only
to comm ports configured as remote comm ports.
4.2 Communicating with the ControlWave
You communicate to the ControlWave by connecting a cable between a
port on your PC workstation and one of the ControlWave ports. See
Section 2.4 for more information on communications.
The port at the PC workstation must match the configuration of the
ControlWave port.
4.2.1 Default Comm Port Settings
As delivered from the factory, ControlWave communication ports have
default settings. Table 4-1 details these defaults.
Table 4-1. Default Comm Port Settings (by PCB)
Port PCB Default Configuration
COM1 CPU Ships from factory at RS-232; 115.2 Kbps using BSAP. Once
the default switch is OFF, a factory default of IP Point-to-Point
protocol (PPP) at 115,200 applies with an IP address of
1.1.1.1 and a mask of 255.255.255.255.
COM2 CPU RS-232; 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, BSAP or
ControlWave Designer protocol
COM3 SCB RS-485; 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, BSAP or
ControlWave Designer protocol
COM4 SCB RS-232 or RS-485 depending upon factory order; 9600 baud,
8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, BSAP or ControlWave Designer
protocol
Note: You can re-enable the factory comm settings at any time by
setting switch 3 on the CPU module’s SW1 to “OFF.”
4-2 Operation Revised Aug-2015
ControlWave Instruction Manual
Ethernet
The ControlWave can include from one to three Ethernet ports. You
can connect directly or through a network to a PC equipped with an
Ethernet port.
The default IP addresses and masks for these are:
ETH1 IP Address: 10.0.1.1 IP Mask: 255.255.255.0
ETH2 IP Address: 10.0.2.1 IP Mask: 255.255.255.0
ETH3 IP Address: 10.0.3.1 IP Mask: 255.255.255.0
4.2.2 Changing Port Settings
You change port settings (baud rate, port type, IP address, and so on)
using the Flash Configuration utility.
You must establish communications with the ControlWave using
NetView, LocalView, or TechView before you can run the Flash
Configuration utility.
Note: For detailed information on using the Flash Configuration utility,
see Chapter 5 of the OpenBSI Utilities Manual (D5081).
Caution
When you change the baud rate for a port, the baud rate changes as
soon as you write the flash file changes to the RTU, and do not require
a reset. For this reason, you should not change baud rate for the active
port on which you are communicating, or communications will
immediately stop due to the baud rate mismatch between the PC port
and the controller port. If this happens accidentally, you can use CPU
switch settings as discussed in the notes in Section 4.2.1 to restore
defaults and re-establish communications.
Revised Aug-2015 Operation 4-3
ControlWave Instruction Manual
4.2.3 Collecting Data from the ControlWave
OpenBSI utilities such as DataView, Data Array Save/Restore and
Harvester allow you to collect real time data (values of variables, array
values, alarm messages) and historical data (audit records, archive files)
from the ControlWave. See the OpenBSI Utilities Manual (D5081) for
details. SCADA software such as OpenEnterprise can then present this
data to an operator in the form of graphical displays and reports.
4.3 Creating and Downloading an Application (ControlWave Project)
Your ControlWave executes an application called a ControlWave
project. You create the project using PC-based ControlWave Designer
software. Instructions for creating a ControlWave project are beyond the
scope of this manual. Please refer to the following sources for
information:
Getting Started with ControlWave Designer (D5085)
ControlWaveQuick Setup Guide (D5084)
ControlWave Designer Programmer’s Handbook (D5125)
ControlWave Designer online help
You must connect the ControlWave to a PC running ControlWave
Designer software and OpenBSI software.
Note: You can download an application either from ControlWave
Designer or from the OpenBSI 1131 Downloader.
1. Set the CPU’s Run/Remote/Local (key-operated) switch:
If the PC is connected to a comm port configured as an IP or
OpenBSI Network port set the CPU’s Run/Remote/Local switch to Remote
If the PC is connected to a comm port configured as a serial
port set the CPU’s Run/Remote/Local switch to Local
Note: COM1 has a factory default of 115.2 Kps (RS-232) using the
Internet Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). Do not connect COM1 to
a PC unless you configure that PC’s RS-232 port for PPP.
2. Define the project, setting communication and configuration
parameters.
3. Download the project according to instructions in the
Downloading section of the ControlWave Designer
Programmer's Manual (D5125).
4. After the download completes successfully, restore the PSSM
switch settings:
Turn Run/Remote/Local to Run
4-4 Operation Revised Aug-2015
4.4 Creating and Maintaining Backups
You should always maintain a current backup of each ControlWave
project and keep it in a safe place, preferably in a location physically
separate from the controller.
The reason we recommend you keep a backup files is that if a disaster
occurs that damages or destroys your ControlWave hardware (flood,
lightning strike, etc.) you don’t want to also lose its control strategy
software programs. Otherwise, when the unit is repaired or replaced,
you’d have to create a new ControlWave project from scratch, which
might take a lot longer than replacing a few damaged modules.
ControlWave Instruction Manual
Caution
Always maintain a backup copy of your ControlWave project in a safe
place.
Anytime you modify your ControlWave project, be sure to create a new
backup of the new project.
Notes:
You may find it useful to maintain more than one backup copy in
case the backup media itself fails, for example, a CD-ROM becomes
unreadable because it melted in the sun or a thumb drive fails
because someone spilled coffee on it.
If you don’t keep more than one backup copy, it’s a good idea to
periodically test your backup copy to verify that the media has not
failed.
4.4.1 Creating a Zipped Project File (*.ZWT) For Backup
Note: The .zwt file is a complete backup of your entire project
including code, comments and graphics. It may be stored on your
PC or removable storage media. It may also be downloaded and
archived to ControlWave Flash memory where it may be
uploaded at a later time for editing.
With your current ControlWave project open in ControlWave Designer,
perform the following steps:
1. Click File > Save Project As / Zip Project As.
Revised Aug-2015 Operation 4-5
ControlWave Instruction Manual
Figure 4-3. Saving a Backup of Your Project
2. In the “Save/Zip project as” dialog box, specify a project name in
the File name field. In Figure 4-3 we chose the name mynewproj.
3. In the Save as type field, choose Zipped Project Files (*.zwt).
4. In the Zip Options area, select which additional files you want to
include in the zwt file. Other than increasing the file size of the zwt,
it doesn’t hurt to check any or all of these options.
Zip Option Description
Zip User-Libraries

Zip Pagelayouts
If you created your own user-defined
functions or function blocks, you must
select this to preserve them.
should also select this option to include
compiled code for libraries in your zip file.
Otherwise, you need to re-compile your
user libraries with the project when you
unzip the zwt.
This includes firmware libraries, such as
ACCOL3.FWL in your zwt.
This includes pagelayout information for
printing your project, as well as graphical
elements used in certain 1131 languages.
5. Click Zip and a progress bar displays the percent complete of the
zipping process.
4-6 Operation Revised Aug-2015
ControlWave Instruction Manual
6. When the zip process completes, you’ll see a message box reporting
successful completion. Click OK.
7. Copy the resulting zwt file to backup media (CD-ROM, thumb
drive, etc.) If you ever need to restore the project, just open the zwt
file in ControlWave Designer, load libraries as needed, then compile
the project and download it into the ControlWave.
You must establish communications with the ControlWave using
NetView, LocalView, or TechView before you can run the Flash
Configuration utility.
