Product Family Compatibility
ControlWave XFC is compatible with Emerson’s
Bristol ControlWave family. It is fully software-com-
patible with ControlWave GFC, ControlWave EFM,
ControlWave Micro and the ControlWave Process
Automation Controller (PAC). The ControlWave
PAC provides the highest I/O capacity and supports
up to three Ethernet ports as well as redundancy.
This family compatibility is a major benet to users
whose operations include a number of larger instal-
lations in addition to those that require ow comput-
ers. ControlWave family products are capable of all
measurement & control functions at sites such as
major, custody-transfer metering stations, compres-
sor stations, off-shore platforms, processing plants
and storage facilities.
Users will not only appreciate the similarity in much
of the hardware but will also nd the documenta-
tion, networking and software compatibilities to be
important to their asset management.
Open Standards For Programming, Network
Conguration and Communication
Only ControlWave brings the perfect combination of
industry standards to minimize learning, engineering
and implementation costs.
By adhering to such industry standards as Ethernet,
TCP/IP, Microsoft Windows
®
, COM/DCOM, FTP,
OLE and ActiveX, ControlWave is able to achieve
the highest degree of openness in control system
architecture and bring the optimal process efciency
and productivity needed to ensure a successful
system implementation.
ControlWave Designer with ACCOL III
To minimize your engineering and development
time, we have adopted the international standard for
controller programming, IEC 61131-3. ControlWave
Designer is a fully IEC 61131-3-compliant program-
ming environment for the ControlWave family of
products. ControlWave Designer includes all ve
IEC 61131-3 process languages for batch, continu-
ous and discrete control: Function Block Diagram,
Structured Text Sequential Function Chart, Ladder
Logic Diagram and Instruction List.
ControlWave Designer includes an extensive library
of more than 200 basic IEC 61131-3 functions and
function blocks common to many IEC 61131-3
based products. These include:
Flip-ops, Counters & Timers
Ladder diagram functions – coils and contacts,
etc.
Numerical, Arithmetic & Boolean functions
– Sine, Cosine, Add, Sub, Square Root, And,
Or, etc.
Selection & Comparison – Min, Max, Greater
than, Equal, Less than, etc.
Type conversions – Integer to Real, Boolean to
Word, etc.
