2-26 / Installation  CI-ControlWaveLP 
Operational details on ControlWaveLP LEDs and use of the BBI WinDiag program for 
fault isolation are provided in Chapter 3. 
2.5.1 Downloading The Application Load 
A  ControlWaveLP RTU must receive its configured application load before it can be placed 
into operation. This will require connection of the ControlWaveLP unit to a PC running 
Windows NT (4.0 or higher), Windows 2000 or Windows XP Professional and equipped with 
ControlWave Designer software & OpenBSI software. Configuration of the application load 
must be performed by an individual familiar with the various programming tools. The 
following software user documentation is referenced: 
Getting Started with ControlWave Designer Manual - D5085 
ControlWave Designer Reference Manual - D5088 
Open BSI Utilities Manual - D5081 
Web_BSI Manual - D5087 
An application load download can be initiated, i.e., from ControlWave Designer, or from the 
OpenBSI 1131 Downloader. 
1.  Note: From the factory, COM1 defaults to 115.2 kbd (RS-232) using the Internet Point 
to Point Protocol (PPP). Don’t connect COM1 to a PC unless the PC’s RS-232 port in 
question has been configured for PPP. Note: ControlWaveLP Port COM1 can be 
configured for RS-232 operation (at 9600 bps) by setting CPU switches SW4-3 and 
SW4-8 OFF (closed). This should only be done to run WINDIAG. 
2.  Once the ControlWave project has been defined, communications and configuration 
parameters have been set perform the download according to either ‘ControlWave 
Designer’ (see D5088 - chapter 11) or ‘The Open BSI 1131 Downloader’ (see D5081 - 
Chapter 7). 
3.  After the download has been completed set the ControlWave’s RUN/REMOTE/LOCAL 
Switch to the RUN position. 
2.5.2 Upgrading ControlWaveLP Firmware 
ControlWaveLP CPUs ship from the factory with system firmware already installed. If an 
upgrade of the system firmware is required, use one of the procedures below to download 
the new or replacement firmware from the PC. 
Upgrade of system firmware via LocalView FLASH Mode requires OpenBSI 5.1 (or newer). 
If you have an older version of OpenBSI, FLASH upgrades are to be performed via 
Hyperterminal. You will need a binary (*.BIN) system firmware file, and that file should be 
defined in the Flash Master File (FLASH.MST). A sample Flash Master File is shown, 
below: 
lps0410.bin  Firmware - Release 04.1 
Upgrade of an unattended ControlWaveLP can be accomplished from a remote PC. This 
capability is introduced in Section 2.5.2.3.
