One or more I/O modules (see Section 1.6 and Chapter 3)
ControlWave housings are stainless steel designed for panel/wallmounting or for some versions, for mounting in a 19-inch equipment
rack. They contain the printed circuit board (PCB) backplane into which
you connect the PSSM, the CPU module, and any I/O modules.
The following housings are available:
6-slot backplane supports on PSSM, one CPU, and up to four I/O
modules.
10-slot housing supports one PSSM, one CPU, and up to eight I/O
modules. The 10-slot housing is suitable for mounting in a 19-inch
equipment rack.
Hot swap detection circuitry within the PSSM allows for the safe
insertion and removal of I/O modules while power is on.
Note: The ControlWave I/O Expansion Rack CPU does not accept a
downloadable ControlWave project (software application), it
only holds I/O modules. A separate ControlWave Process
Automation Controller runs the ControlWave project which must
reference the I/O points in the ControlWave I/O Expansion Rack.
The CPU (central processing unit) module houses the CPU board, and if
present the secondary communications board (SCB). The CPU module
provides I/O monitor/control, memory, and communication functions.
The CPU board includes:
Intel 386EX microprocessor running at 25 MHz
2 RS-232 communication ports
1 10/100baseT Ethernet port
2 MB of battery backed Static RAM (SRAM)
512 KB boot/downloader FLASH
32 MB simultaneous read/write FLASH memory

CPU Memory
There are several different types of memory used on the CPU module:
Revised Aug-2015 Introduction 1-5
ControlWave I/O Expansion Rack Instruction Manual
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. 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.
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.
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 power switch(es) for each power supply board
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.
1.6 I/O Modules
The ControlWave I/O expansion rack supports analog input, analog
output, digital input, digital output, universal digital input, isolated
RTD, and isolated low level analog (thermocouple and mv) input
modules for either local or remote field device wiring termination.
Refer to Chapter 3 for information on specific I/O modules. Figure 1-3
shows a typical I/O module housing.
Terminations are pluggable and accept a maximum wire size of #14
AWG. Each I/O module connects to the backplane using a 110-pin male
connector and to its associated terminal block assembly using a 44 pin
header.

2.2.3 Mounting the Housing
ControlWave I/O expansion rack modules reside in a stainless steel
housing. No enclosure is provided.
You can install a ControlWave equipped with a 4-I/O module housing
on a wall or panel. See Figure 2-6 for mounting hole patterns for a 4-
I/O unit.
You can install a ControlWave I/O expansion rack equipped with an 8I/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 19inch rack mounting. Remove the end plates, rotate them 180° and then
reinstall them to accommodate panel or wall mounting. See Figure 2-5
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 chassis
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
size. Once you install the housing, you must run a ground wire between
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 captured 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)
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.
Revised Aug-2015 Installation 2-11
ControlWave I/O Expansion Rack Instruction Manual
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.
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.

Hot Swapping of
Power Supplies
Watchdog
Switch
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.
2-12 Installation Revised Aug-2015
ControlWave I/O Expansion Rack Instruction Manual
Redundancy
Control Input
The same terminal block (TB3) used for watchdog control also handles
a redundancy control line to a ControlWave Redundant I/O Switcher. If
this ControlWave I/O expansion rack is part of a redundant pair, and
the ControlWave Redundancy Switcher detects a watchdog failure in
the other ControlWave I/O rack, the redundancy control input sends
signals to this ControlWave I/O rack that it must take control. For more
information on how this works, see the ControlWave Redundancy
Setup Guide (D5123) and the ControlWave Redundant I/O and Control
Switch Unit Manual (CI-ControlWave REDI/O).
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.

5. Unplug terminal block connectors TB1 and TB2 from the PSSM and
wire them to an external bulk DC power supply. See Section 2.3.5.
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 factor default positions. See Table 2-1
for a list of the jumpers and their functions; see Figure 2-10 for jumper
locations.
Table 2-1. PSSM Jumpers
Jumper Position Description
JP1 1-2
2-3 Disables the watchdog circuitry.
JP2 1-2 Sets the PSSM as always the on-line unit.
2-3 Specifies that the PSSM is part of a redundant system.
JP3 1-2 Enables the 12V monitor.
2-3 Disables the 12V monitor.
Enables the watchdog circuitry. This is the default. Watchdog wiring is discussed
later in this document.
This is the default. Use this setting if the PSSM is not installed in a redundant
system.
Choose this position if the PSSM is installed:
In a ControlWave Redundant Controller or
In a ControlWave Controller that is part of a redundant pair or
In a ControlWave I/O Expansion Rack that is part of a redundant pair.
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.
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 2-9).

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 that
accommodate up to #14 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.

2.3.5 Wiring a Bulk DC Power Supply to the PSSM
Caution
Operating
Range
One or Two
Power
Supplies
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 and TB2 (or TB3) to the PSSM until after you install, wire, and
configure the CPU module.
Follow the instructions in Section 2.3.4 when wiring connections.
The ControlWave operates from +22.2 Vdc to +30.0 Vdc (with a
nominal +24Vdc input source).
You can connect one or two bulk DC power supplies (nominally +24
Vdc) to the PSSM. Use terminal blocks TB1 and TB2 to connect an
external bulk power supply to the PSSM.
The external bulk 24V DC power supply you connect to TB1-1 (+VIN)
provides system power to the ControlWave including the CPU boards,
communications and I/O boards (see Figure 2-11). 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 2-11. 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 2-12).

for the +24 Vdc bulk power used with a particular ControlWave I/O
Expansion Rack:
max_current
+ Σ I/O Module
max_current

max_current
max_current
refers to the maximum current required by the CPU (with or
without an SCB), backplane and the PSSM. This is 1A.
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 I/O rack 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
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).
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 2-13).
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
when wiring connections.
General Wiring Guidelines
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 2-14. 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 I/O Expansion Rack 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 2-15).
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
expansion rack PSSM to TB2-3 on the IORCM, and TB2-4 on the
IORCOM must to 24V.

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 2-21) 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.

Figure 2-18, Figure 2-20 & Table 2-
You can purchase a null modem cable using part number 392843-

Note: You can configure the ControlWave as either a master or slave
node on a BSAP network.

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
When port is set for half-duplex operation, CTS must go low after
RTS goes low.

opposite lines; all slaves (from the first to the nth) are paralleled (daisy-
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.
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). 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 either one or 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:
Table 2-15 shows port assignments for the Ethernet ports.
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.

ends of the cable (see Figure 2-25).
2.5 Bezels

The maximum length of one segment (CPU to hub) is 100 meters (328
feet). The use of Category 5 shielded cable is recommended.
The bezel is a blue plastic cover (see Figure 2-26) 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 two snaps on the bezel with the
corresponding holders on the chassis. Once you have it positioned, push
gently and the bezel snaps into place.

Chapter 3 – I/O Modules
This chapter discusses the placement and wiring for I/O modules in the
ControlWave I/O expansion rack. 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 I/O expansion rack
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 3.3.2
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 I/O Expansion Rack 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 ControlWave Designer and OpenBSI software,
configure the ControlWave project running in the host
ControlWave controller to reference the new I/O modules in the
I/O rack, and download the revised ControlWave project into the
host controller.
Note: This step is beyond the scope of this manual. Refer to the
The ControlWave I/O expansion rack supports “hot swapping” of I/O
modules, but before any I/O modules can become operational, you must
use ControlWave Designer to configure the ControlWave project in the
host ControlWave process automation controller to accept the new I/O
module, and then compile and download the revised application
(project) into the host controller.
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
Equipment Installation, Grounding, and Wiring (S1400CW)
ESDS Manual – Care and Handling of PC Boards and ESD
Sensitive Components (S14006)
NEVER ATTEMPT “hot swapping” in a Class I, Division 2
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.
Figure 3-2 shows slot assignments for an 8 I/O ControlWave I/O
expansion rack.
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
module’s removable terminal blocks) or “remote termination” (field
3-4 I/O Modules Revised Aug-2015
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.

Notes
Newer digital output modules with 16 outputs support read-back

Revised Aug-2015 I/O Modules 3-13
ControlWave I/O Expansion Rack Instruction Manual
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 rack and a standard DO
module as its redundant counterpart in the backup rack, or vice versa.
See Software Configuration later in this section for details on setting
up DO with readback.

Software Configuration
To use data from any ControlWave DO module in the rack you must
use ControlWave Designer’s I/O Configurator to modify the
ControlWave project in the host controller to add an ER_DO32 board
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.
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 mapped by the _ER_STAT
virtual status board to TRUE. 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 that has a failure. 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.
Another variable which you must map from the _ER_STAT virtual
status board 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 failover to the standby. By
default, this variable is named either ERSTAT_RDN_IOERR_WARN
(or ERST_RDN_IOERR_WARN). You can change the default names
as needed.
When you set this variable to FALSE, the system treats a DO readback
3-18 I/O Modules Revised Aug-2015
ControlWave I/O Expansion Rack Instruction Manual
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 variables and
LEDs discussed, above.
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.

3.6 Analog Input (AI) Modules
AI modules support either 16 or eight 4–20 mA or 1–5 Vdc analog
inputs.
AI modules consist of an AI PCB with either a terminal block assembly
(for local termination) or a header block assembly (for remote
termination). AI modules also include an LED board, a terminal housing
assembly, as well as I/O assembly and mounting hardware.

1-5Vdc AIs have a common mode
range of 31Vdc.
4-20mA inputs reference –VFxx of the
module.
Analog input circuitry isolated from bus
interface.
Surge suppression and signal
conditioning.
Connect cable shields associated with AI wiring to the ControlWave
housing ground. Multiple shield terminations require that you supply a
copper ground bus and connect it to the housing’s ground lug (using up
to a #4 AWG wire size).
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).

Variables in the ControlWave project govern how inconsistencies

If there is a difference of more than 0.5% (of span) between the value
of the online and standby AO values, a variable mapped by the
_ER_STAT virtual status board will be set TRUE. 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
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

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.

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 any ControlWave RTD module in the rack you must
use ControlWave Designer’s I/O Configurator to modify the
ControlWave project in the host controller to add an ER_RTD8 board
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 input
modules) 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 thermcouple module (general part number 396877-XX-X)
has the following configurations:
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
thermocouple module. Wiring assignments (that is, +AI#, -AI#, +CJC
(Sense), -CJC (Return) & +CJC (Reference) are similar to those
assigned to the remote DIN-rail 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
RTD error with the CJC.

4.1 Powering Up/Powering Down the ControlWave I/O Expansion Rack
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 I/O rack OFF or to the ON (up) position to turn it ON.
ON position (up) to turn ON the power supply
OFF position (down) to turn OFF the power supply
Figure 4-1. Power Switches on PSSM Setting the Operating Mode (Run/Remote/Local Switch)
4.2 Communicating with the ControlWave I/O Expansion Rack
You communicate to the ControlWave I/O rack by connecting a cable
between a port on your PC workstation and one of the ControlWave I/O
rack ports. See Section 2.4 for more information on communications.
The port at the PC workstation must match the configuration of the
ControlWave I/O rack 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.

COM4 SCB RS-232; 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.”
Ethernet
The ControlWave I/O expansion rack can include one or three Ethernet
ports. You can connect directly or through a network to a PC equipped
with an Ethernet port.
The factory pre-configures the initial IP addresses and masks to:
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
Because each unit ships from the factory with these addresses initially
pre-programmed, you should only use these addresses for “bench”
testing and configuration. You must change these addresses before
putting the I/O rack on an actual network, since an address conflict
would exist as soon as you place the second ControlWave unit online.
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
4-2 Operation Revised Aug-2015
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.
ControlWave I/O Expansion Rack Instruction Manual
Chapter 5 – Service and Troubleshooting

Revised Aug-2015 Service & Troubleshooting 5-1
ControlWave I/O Expansion Rack Instruction Manual
Warning
Harmful electrical potentials may still exist at the field wiring terminals
even though the ControlWave power source may be turned off or
disconnected. Do not attempt to unplug termination connectors or
perform any wiring operations until you verify that all associated power
supply sources are turned off and/or disconnected.
Always turn off any external supply sources for externally powered I.O
circuits before you change any modules.
5.1 Upgrading Firmware
The ControlWave I/O expansion rack CPU ships from the factory with
system firmware already installed. If you need to upgrade the system
firmware (stored in Flash memory) to acquire new functionality or
restore firmware, you can use one of several methods.
System
Firmware
Downloader
Use this tool to download system firmware to an unattended remote I/O
rack. To use this utility, you must set CPU module switch SW3-2 OFF
(the factory default position).
Note: For further information and detailed use instructions, refer to
Appendix J of the OpenBSI Utilities Manual (D5081).
LocalView
HyperTerminal
One of the standard OpenBSI utilities, LocalView requires OpenBSI
version 5.1 (or newer). If you have an older version of OpenBSI, use
HyperTerminal.
Note: For further information and detailed use instructions, refer to the
Flash Mode section of Chapter 5 of the OpenBSI Utilities Manual (D5081).
HyperTerminal is a communications utility program included with
Microsoft® Windows®.XP
Notes:
If you are using a version of OpenBSI older than 5.1, or do not have
OpenBSI software, you can only perform a firmware upgrade using
HyperTerminal.
While HyperTerminal is included in Microsoft® Window® XP,
3. If using HyperTerminal for the first time, set the communication
properties (for the PC port) 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.
4. Set CPU switch SW3-3 to ON (Force Recovery Mode).
5. Apply power; to the ControlWave. The resident BIOS initializes
and tests the hardware, this process is referred to as POST
(Power On Self Test). Unless there is a problem, you should see
the code “86” on the Port 80 display. If you see a different status
code, see Section 5.3.4.
6. From the HyperTerminal Mode menu (Figure 5-1), press the F
key to enter FLASH download. A message warns that the
FLASH is about to be erased; press the Y key at the prompt. The
screen displays dots as the system erases the flash memory; this
could take a few minutes.
Figure 5-1. HyperTerminal Mode Menu
7. When the FLASH is ready for download, HyperTerminal
repeatedly displays the letter C on the screen. In the
HyperTerminal menu bar click Transfer > Send File (see
Figure 5-2).
