ControlWave ExpressPAC Instruction Manual (CI-ControlWave EPAC)
4.3 Creating and Downloading an Application (ControlWave Project)
Your ControlWave ExpressPAC 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)
 ControlWave Designer Programmer’s Handbook (D5125)
 ControlWave Designer online help
You must connect the ExpressPAC 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. Connect a serial cable between your PC and COM2 of the
ControlWave ExpressPAC.
2. Define the ControlWave project in ControlWave Designer, and
set communication and configuration parameters.
3. Download the project according to instructions in the
Downloading section of the ControlWave Designer
Programmer's Manual (D5125).
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 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.
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.
