Introduction – What is ControlWave? Introduction – What is ControlWave? The ControlWave programming environment uses industry-standard tools and protocols to provide a flexible, adaptable approach for various process control applications in the industrial automation business. The ControlWave Programming Environment consists of a set of integrated software tools which allow a user to create, test, implement, and download complex control strategies for use with the ControlWave series of Process Automation Controllers.

Introduction – What is ControlWave? Getting Started with ControlWave 2 The tools which make up the environment are: ? ControlWave Designer load building package offers several different methods for generating and debugging control strategy programs including function blocks, ladder logic, structured languages, etc. The resulting process control strategy programs (projects) are fully compatible with IEC 61131 standards. Various communication methods are offered, including TCP/IP, serial links, as well as communication to OpenBSI software and networks. ControlWave Designer incorporates the KW MULTIPROG wt IEC 61131 programming tool.1 ? The I/O Configuration Wizard , accessible via a menu item in ControlWave Designer, allows you to define process I/O boards in the ControlWave-series controller, and configure the individual mapping of I/O points for digital and analog inputs and outputs. ? The ACCOL3 Function Block Library which is imported into ControlWave Designer, includes a series of ControlWave-specific function blocks . These pre-programmed function blocks accomplish various tasks common to most user applications including alarming, historical data storage, as well as process control algorithms such as PID control. ? The I/O Simulator allows the control strategy programs (projects) generated through ControlWave Designer to be tested on a PC, with simulated analog and digital inputs and outputs. The I/O Simulator utilizes the identical IEC 61131 real time system used in the ControlWave controller; this allows initial I/O testing and debugging to be performed in a safe, isolated environment, without the need for a running ControlWave-series controller and process I/O boards. ? The ObjectServer – a package you purchase separately that allows real-time data access by any OPC compliant third-party software package. ? A series of Web Page Controls are also available for retrieval of real-time data values, historical data values, and communication statistics. The web 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 applications such as Visual BASIC or Microsoft® Excel, or in their own user- defined web pages to provide a customized human-machine interface (HMI)…. Starting ControlWave Designer, Opening A Project Installing the Software ControlWave Designer software is included on the OpenBSI CD-ROM. To install it, choose “Install OpenBSI” from the choices provided in the CD browser, and then select “ControlWave Designer with ACCOL III” . For more information on the installation process, see Chapter 2 of the OpenBSI Utilities Manual (document# D5081). Starting ControlWave Designer ControlWave Designer is your IEC 61131 program development tool. It allows you to create a control strategy (project) in any of five standard IEC 61131 languages, compile the program, debug it, and download it into your ControlWave controller. To start ControlWave Designer click on: Start ? Programs? OpenBSI Tools ? ControlWave Tools ? ControlWave Designer IMPORTANT: If this is the very first time ControlWave Designer has been started on this particular computer, you will be reminded to register the software. Otherwise, the software can only be used for a maximum of 60 days. For more information on the registration process, see Chapter 2 of the OpenBSI Utilities Manual (document# D5081).
