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.
