CI-ControlWave Express Installation & Operation / 2-3
5. Install I/O wiring to the Process I/O Board and to the CPU/System Controller Board
if Pulse Inputs are present (see Section 2.3.4). Install a communications cable to a
Model 3808 Transmitter if required (see Section 2.3.6).
6. Install a ground wire between the Enclosure and a known good Earth Ground (see
Section 2.3.7.3).
7. If required, install the RTD Probe (see Section 2.3.5)
8. Connect DC Power wiring to the ControlWave Express CPU/System Controller
Board (see Sections 2.3.7.1 & 2.3.7.2).
9. Apply power to the ControlWave Express. Now continue with Steps 2 through 7
below (and Section 2.4.1) and the ControlWave Express will be ready for on-line
operation.
Step 2. Software Installation on the PC Workstation
ControlWave Designer software must be installed on the PC. The completed project is
downloaded into the unit from Open BSI Downloader or from ControlWave Designer. This
will require the installation of the ControlWave Designer Package from the Open BSI
CD-ROM onto the PC.
You must install the Open BSI Network Edition. For information on minimum system
requirements and more details on the installation, see the installation procedure in
Chapter 2 of the Open BSI Utilities Manual (document # D5081).
If you have an older version of ControlWave Designer already installed:
Beginning with ControlWave Designer Version 3.3, the copy protection key (dongle) is NOT
required. Prior to installing ControlWave Designer 3.3 or newer, you MUST remove the
hardware dongle from the parallel port of your PC workstation. Otherwise, when you
subsequently start ControlWave Designer, it will operate only in ‘DEMO’ mode, and will
limit the available system resources.
IMPORTANT:
When you start ControlWave Designer, you will be reminded to register the
software. Unregistered software can only be used for a maximum of 30 days. For
more information on the registration process, see Chapter 2 of the Open BSI
Utilities Manual (document# D5081).
Step 3. Establish Communications using either LocalView, NetView, or TechView
and Run the Flash Configuration Utility
Communications must be established with the ControlWave Express using LocalView,
NetView, or TechView.
ControlWave Express RTUs ship from the factory with a default Flash configuration. Most
users will need to edit this configuration to set the IP address (if using PPP), BSAP local
address, user accounts, and port parameters. This can be done in one of two ways:
• Either open the supplied Flash Configuration Profile (FCP) file and modify it, directly in
the Flash Configuration Utility, or in a text editor,
• Or retrieve existing Flash Parameters directly from the unit, and edit them in the Flash
Configuration Utility.
