You can use whichever HTML creation package you want to create the pages, however, all
ControlWave Express related web pages (whether standard or user-created) must be viewed
within Microsoft® Internet Explorer. The web pages may reside either on a PC workstation,
or they can be downloaded into FLASH memory at the ControlWave Express. If stored at
the ControlWave Express, you must use the ControlView utility to retrieve the pages (using
FTP) for viewing in Internet Explorer.
Step 6. Create an Open BSI Network Containing the ControlWave Express, or
ADD the ControlWave Express to an Existing Open BSI Network
In order for the ControlWave Express unit to function as part of a Bristol network, it is
necessary to include it in the Bristol network.
If no Bristol network exists:
You need to run Open BSI’s NetView software on the PC workstation in order to define
a Bristol network. A series of software wizards are used to define a Network Host PC, a
network, and the RTUs (controllers) assigned to the network. Finally, communication
lines must be specified which handle the address assigned to the ControlWave Express.
Chapters 3 and 4 of the Open BSI Utilities Manual (document # D5081) include ‘quick
start’ examples for performing these steps. More detailed information is included in the
NetView chapter (Chapter 6) of D5081.
If a Bristol network already exists:
You will need to add the ControlWave Express to the existing network using NetView’s
RTU Wizard. Chapter 6 of the Open BSI Utilities Manual (document # D5081) includes
different sub-sections depending upon whether you are adding the unit to a BSAP
network, or an IP network.
Step 7. If applicable, download new or modified control strategy (OPTIONAL)
If you modify a ControlWave Express program, or create your own program, compile and
download the new or modified program into the unit, using either ControlWave Designer, or
the Open BSI 1131 Downloader. In this case, you download the control strategy into the
BOOT project area of FLASH memory; this ensures that if the ControlWave Express is
reset, or if there has been a failure of the backup battery, the control strategy can be
restarted from the beginning, i.e. from the BOOT project in FLASH memory. To download
the project, see Section 2.4.1.
2.3.1 Mounting the ControlWave Express Enclosure/Chassis
When mounting one of these units, it is to be installed in accordance with the following
restrictions:
- The unit may be positioned vertically or horizontally. Units can be mounted to a panel
directly or via a DIN-Rail Mounting Bracket (utilizing a 35mm DIN-Rail). The basic
unit measures 10.75” long, by 5.56” wide, by 2.06” deep (without mounting brackets).
- The unit must be positioned such that the front of the assembly is visible and the unit
is accessible for service, i.e., replacement of the Lithium Battery, or installation and
removal of any ControlWave Express option.
