Product Family Compatibility
ControlWave GFC is compatible with Emerson’s
ControlWave family. It is fully software compatible with
ControlWave XFC, ControlWave EFM, ControlWave Micro
and the ControlWave Process Automation Controller. The
ControlWave Process Automation Controller provides the
highest I/O capacity and supports up to three Ethernet ports
as well as redundancy.
This family compatibility is a major benefit to users whose
operations include a number of larger installations in
addition to those that require flow computers. ControlWave
family products are capable of all measurement and control
functions at sites such as major, custody-transfer metering
stations, compressor stations, off-shore platforms,
processing plants, and storage facilities.
You will not only appreciate the similarity in much of the
hardware, but will also find the documentation, networking,
and software compatibilities as key to your asset
management.
Open Standards for Programming,
Network Configuration 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 efficiency 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 programming environment for the
ControlWave family of products. ControlWave Designer
includes all five IEC 61131-3 process languages for batch,
continuous 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:
 Counters, Timers
 Ladder diagram functions — coils and contacts, etc.
 Numerical, Arithmetic and Boolean functions — Sine,
Cosine, Add, Sub, Square Root, And, Or, etc.
 Selection and Comparison — Min, Max, Greater than,
Equal, Less than, etc.
 Type conversions — Integer to Real, Boolean to Word,
etc.
ACCOL III
In addition to the basic functions and function blocks,
ControlWave Designer brings the benefit of many years
experience in measurement and SCADA to the ACCOL III
function block library. ACCOL III includes over sixty function
blocks that are valuable for use in oil and gas and process
measurement and control applications. Further, ACCOL III is
designed to take full advantage of the significant features
offered by ControlWave.
Briefly, this library includes function blocks for:
 AGA gas flow and API liquids calculations
 Audit, Archive, File Handling
 Average, Compare, Totalize
 Scheduling and Sequencing
 PID and Lead/Lag
In addition, ControlWave ensures data integrity, in the event
of a communication interruption, by storing critical time-
stamped alarm and historical data in the controller memory.
This data is then securely retrieved when communication is
restored.
