Note: Depending upon how you order it, your ControlWave may
ship from the factory already assembled, or as a separate
housing and modules you must install yourself. If you order
it pre-assembled, you can omit those portions of this chapter
that discuss installation of individual modules.
Hardware setup involves unpacking the ControlWave hardware,
mounting the housing, installing I/O modules, wiring I/O
terminations, making proper ground connections, connecting a
communication cable to the PC workstation and setting switches.
The figure, below, shows a ControlWave in a ten-slot housing. The
housing includes eight I/O slots. The unit has four serial ports and
three Ethernet ports. Your unit may have different options. The full
hardware installation process is described in detail in Chapter 2
and Chapter 3 of CI-ControlWave. An overview of the steps is
included, below:

ControlWave Quick Setup Guide
Notes:
For the initial configuration activities described in this manual,
we recommend you leave most of the CPU switch settings in
their default positions, as set at the factory:
o Switch bank SW1: all switches in the ON position.
o Switch bank SW3: all switches in the OFF position, except
for SW3-4, which you should set ON to enable the backup
battery when the ControlWave is ready to be put into
service. If the ControlWave not going to be installed for an
extended period of time, you can leave this off to avoid
draining the battery.
4. Install the CPU module into slot 2 of the housing, which is the
second slot from the left end of the installed unit.
5. For the configuration activities, described in this manual, we
will use RS-232 serial communication port 2 (Comm Port 2) on
the ControlWave, which is configured by default for 9600
baud. (For more information on RS-232 serial communication
ports see Section 2.4.2 of CI-ControlWave).

controller by setting the power switch on the PSSM module to
the “1” position. When the ControlWave completes its poweron sequence, the code “00” shows on the Port 80 display. The
“00” code indicates the ControlWave does not have any
application program loaded. A list of possible status codes is
included in Table 5-3 and Table 5-4 of CI-ControlWave.
Note: One code you may encounter is “86” which indicates the
unit is set for recovery mode (switch SW3-3 is ON) which
allows a field upgrade of system firmware.
You hardware is ready! Now you can install ControlWave
Designer software on the PC to create a project which you can
download into the ControlWave.
Note: This chapter outlines the basic steps in installing
ControlWave Designer software. For more detailed
instructions, see Chapter 2 of the OpenBSI Utilities Manual
(D5081).
2.1 Recommended Requirements for the OpenBSI Workstation:
To run ControlWave Designer your PC workstation must meet the
following minimum system requirements:
1 GHz processor
at least 200 MB free disk space for use by OpenBSI
512 MB RAM (more recommended)
CD-ROM drive
VGA Monitor (minimum 256 colors 800x600). Optimal screen
resolution for OpenBSI web pages is 1024 x 768.
Mouse
Communication cable(s) to connect the PC to the
ControlWave.
Microsoft® Windows® 2003 Server, 2008 Server, XP
Professional, 7.0, or Vista. We recommend you install the
latest available service pack for your operating system.
Note: Emerson only tests OpenBSI and ControlWave Designer
on the following platforms: Windows™ XP Professional,
Windows Vista/7.0 and Windows™ 2003/2008 Server
including both dual core, and dual-core dual-processor
computers.
Microsoft® Internet Explorer Version 5 or newer (Required for
ControlWave web pages).
Note: If you use Microsoft® Windows XP Service Pack 2 (or
newer), you must change default operating system settings
for certain OpenBSI features to work. Please see the Using OpenBSI with Microsoft® Windows XP Service Pack 2
notes in Chapter 2 of the OpenBSI Utilities Manual
(D5081).
ControlWave Designer software is installed from within Windows.
We recommend that all other Windows application programs you
have running should be shut down before beginning installation.
Note: You must log in with Windows administrative privileges to
install the software.
2.3 Installing the ControlWave Designer Software
1. Log into the workstation with administrative privileges.
2. Insert the OpenBSI CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive.
3. If your CD-ROM drive has autorun enabled, skip to the next
step. Otherwise, use Windows™ Explorer to locate the file
BROWSER.EXE in the root directory of the CD. Double-click
on BROWSER.EXE. When the CD browser screen appears,
choose the Install OpenBSI option.
4. A screen reminds you to close all other programs, and warns
you that older OpenBSI versions will be removed. Click Next.
5. A license agreement screen opens. Review the agreement,
using the scroll bar to bring it into view. Click I accept the
terms of the license agreement to proceed. Then click Next.
6. Now you must choose the installation directory on your
computer for OpenBSI.. The default directory is \Program
Files\Bristol\OpenBSI. Either accept the default or click
Browse to specify a new directory. Then click Next.
7. On the next screen, use the check-boxes to select whichever
package(s) you want to install. As a minimum, you must
choose ControlWave Designer with ACCOL III.
9. On the next screen you can specify the user files folder. The
system stores user files such as ControlWave projects, recipes,
and network files in sub-folders of this folder. Note: If User
Account Control (UAC) is enabled in Windows, you must have
write access to this folder. The default is C:\OpenBSI. Use the
default or use Browse to specify a different user files folder.
When finished click Next.
10. This is your last opportunity to make any changes prior to
starting the installation. If you want to make changes, you can
click Back to go back to earlier pages. If you want to read the
printed release notes for this version of OpenBSI, check the
View the Release Notes box.
11. If you are ready to perform the installation, click Install, and
the installation process starts. Be patient, as it may take several
minutes to install all of the different utilities, depending upon
which you choose.
12. When the installation completes, re-boot your computer when
prompted. This must be done in order for OpenBSI to function
properly. If you choose not to re-boot now, you must do so
before running OpenBSI. Click Finish, and the installation will
be complete, and re-boot will proceed, if you chose to do it
now.
After re-boot, an “OpenBSI Tools” menu selection is added to
your Windows Start Programs menu through which you can
access the various OpenBSI utilities. If you prefer, you can
create Windows shortcuts to the tools to provide access
through icons on the desktop. See your Windows
documentation for information on how to do this.
Now, let's create a very simple project to run in your ControlWave.
Let's say we have a water tank - when the water level in the tank
goes below a certain level, a WATER_LOW signal is turned ON,
and as a result, a START_PUMP signal needs to be turned ON to
refill the tank. Similarly, we want to issue a START_PUMP signal
any time the drain valve for the tank is open. Our project is so
simple, we aren't going to handle turning off the pump, or what
happens if the tank overflows; we just want to show how either of
two conditions cause the pump to be started.
Note: We won't be defining the I/O for this project; we're keeping
it as simple as possible.
3.1 Connect the PC Workstation to the ControlWave
1. Plug one end of a null modem cable into your PC serial port.
2. Plug the other end of the cable into one of the RS-232 serial
communication ports on the ControlWave.
Note: Later in this chapter, you’ll need to know the baud rate of
the ControlWave serial port. See Table 4-1 in CI-
ControlWave for details on factory default baud rates for
