ControlWave ExpressPAC Instruction Manual (CI-ControlWave EPAC)
1-8 Introduction Revised Mar-2011
 The ACCOL3 Firmware Library, available within ControlWave
Designer, includes a series of ControlWave-specific function blocks.
These pre-programmed function blocks let you accomplish various
tasks common to most user applications including alarming,
historical data storage, as well as process control algorithms such as
PID control. For information on individual function blocks, see the
online help within ControlWave Designer.
 OpenBSI Utilities provides a set of programs that allow you to
configure a communication network of ControlWave controllers,
download files to the controllers, and collect data from the network.
OpenBSI also exports data from the network to a SCADA/host
package, such as OpenEnterprise. For information on configuring
OpenBSI communications, see the OpenBSI Utilities Manual
(document D5081).
 OpenBSI Harvester is a special add-on package that allows
scheduled data collections from large networks. For information on
the Harvester, see the OpenBSI Harvester Manual (document
D5120).
 A series of web page controls are available for retrieval of real-time
data values and communication statistics. These controls utilize
ActiveX technology and are called through a set of fixed web pages,
compatible with Microsoft® Internet Explorer. Alternatively,
developers can place the controls in third-party ActiveX compatible
containers such as Visual BASIC or Microsoft® Excel. For
information on the ActiveX controls, see the Web_BSI Manual
(document D5087).
 User-defined web pages - If desired, you can use the ActiveX web
controls in your own user-defined web pages you can store at the PC
to provide a customized human-machine interface (HMI).
 Flash Configuration Utility – Parameters such as the BSAP local
address, IP address, etc. are set using the Flash Configuration
Utility, accessible via OpenBSI LocalView, NetView, or TechView.
For information on the Flash Configuration Utility, see Chapter 5 of
the OpenBSI Utilities Manual (document D5081).
Communication
Protocols

(BSAP), ControlWave supports communications using:
Internet Protocol (IP) - You can use an Ethernet port or use a serial
port with serial IP using Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP).
Other supported protocols include: Modbus, Allen-Bradley DF1, CIP,
DNP3, and Hex Repeater. See the ControlWave Designer online help
for details and restrictions.
