When you see the HyperTerminal Mode Menu again, it means the download has completed. 9. Exit HyperTerminal and power down the ControlWave GFC Plus. If desired, you can disconnect the null modem cable between the ControlWave GFC Plus and the PC. 10. Set switch SW1-3 to the OFF position (OFF = Recovery Mode Disabled). 11.
ControlWave Gas Flow Computer (GFC Plus) Instruction Manual (CI-ControlWave GFC Plus) 5.2 Removing or Replacing Components This section provides information on accessing ControlWave GFC Plus components for testing, as well as removal/replacement procedures. Caution Field repairs to the ControlWave GFC Plus are strictly limited to the replacement of complete modules. Replacing board components constitutes tampering and violates the product warranty.
ControlWave Gas Flow Computer (GFC Plus) Instruction Manual (CI-ControlWave GFC Plus) board. Carefully unplug the boards from their interface connectors. Align the replacement boards with each other and press them together so that the interface connectors and mounting posts properly mate; then squeeze together so that the mounting post tabs capture the CPU/System Controller board. 7. To install the replacement boards, power must be off.
ControlWave Gas Flow Computer (GFC Plus) Instruction Manual (CI-ControlWave GFC Plus) 5.2.4 Removing/Replacing the Backup Battery Note: The CPU/System Controller board draws power from the battery only if the board loses power. The system SRAM has a standby current draw of 20 μA maximum for each part plus 2 μA for the real time clock. For a ControlWave GFC Plus containing 2MB of SRAM, a worst-case current draw of 42 μA allows a battery life of approximately 9000 hours.
ControlWave Gas Flow Computer (GFC Plus) Instruction Manual (CI-ControlWave GFC Plus) Removing / Replacing the Backup Battery 1. If the ControlWave GFC Plus is running, place any critical control processes under manual control. 2. Remove power from the ControlWave GFC Plus. 3. Remove the CPU/System Controller board assembly from the housing.

Apply power (re-connect TB1 and applicable TB2) and test the unit. 5.2.7 Removing/Replacing the MVT or GPT Transducer 1. If the ControlWave GFC Plus is running, place any critical control processes under manual control. 2. Open the cover and shut down the ControlWave GFC Plus by disconnecting the power at the CPU/System Controller assembly terminal TB1 (and if applicable, TB2). 3.

If this ControlWave is a BSAP slave node, and the range of addresses defined for the BSAP master port end of the communication line does not encompass the local BSAP address defined for this ControlWave, BSAP communications will not function. Incorrect EBSAP Group number – if you use expanded BSAP the EBSAP group number must be correct; if you are not using EBSAP, the group number must be 0.

ControlWave Gas Flow Computer (GFC Plus) Instruction Manual (CI-ControlWave GFC Plus) 5.4 WINDIAG Diagnostic Utility The ControlWave GFC Plus cannot execute your control strategy while it runs diagnostic routines; place any critical processes controlled by the ControlWave GFC Plus under manual control before starting this procedure. Caution WINDIAG is a software-based diagnostic tool you use to test the performance of I/O, CPU memory, communication ports, and other system components. .
ControlWave Gas Flow Computer (GFC Plus) Instruction Manual (CI-ControlWave GFC Plus) Figure 5-5. WINDIAG Main Diagnostics Menu 3. Select the component to be tested. See Section 5.4.1 for a description of the tests. Enter any prompted parameters (slot #, etc.). WINDIAG performs the diagnostics and displays pass/fail results. After performing all diagnostic testing, exit WINDIAG. 4. Set switches SW2-3 and SW2-8 on the CPU module to ON. The ControlWave GFC Plus should resume normal operation. 5.4.
ControlWave Gas Flow Computer (GFC Plus) Instruction Manual (CI-ControlWave GFC Plus) Port Loop-back Test Option Tests COM2, and COM3. The External loop-back tests require the use of a loop-back plug. Discrete I/O Checks DIs and DOs on the Process I/O board. EEPROM Checks the EEPROM. Keyboard & Display Checks the optional display/keypad hardware. WINDIAG allows you to select the communication port to test.
ControlWave Gas Flow Computer (GFC Plus) Instruction Manual (CI-ControlWave GFC Plus) Note: You can configure RS-485 loopback by setting CPU/System Controller board switches SW3-1 & SW3-2 ON. Port 3 - RS-485 use loop-back wires or CPU Switch SW3 (see Figure 5-7). These tests verify the correct operation of the communication ports. Note: You cannot test a communications port while you are using it. You can only test currently unused ports.
ControlWave Gas Flow Computer (GFC Plus) Instruction Manual (CI-ControlWave GFC Plus) Note: The port you select must correlate to the port on which you placed the loop-back plug in step 1. 5. Select 115200 or ALL ASYNC as the baud rate (click to display all available rates). 6. Click RUN to start the test. At the completion of the test (which generally takes about 5 seconds), any failed results appear in the Status field to the right of the RUN button: For example: 7.

Start the PC’s HyperTerminal program (at 115.2 kbaud) and generate a receive using the 1KX-Modem protocol. Save the resulting core updump in a file so you can forward it later to the technical support group.
Special Appendix for ControlWave Gas Flow Computer (GFC Plus) Instruction Manual (CI-ControlWave GFC Plus) Appendix A – ControlWave GFC Plus– Special Instructions for Class I, Division 2 Hazardous Locations 1. The ControlWave GFC Plus Gas Flow Computer is listed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) as nonincendive and is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups C and D hazardous locations or non-hazardous locations only.
Special Appendix for ControlWave Gas Flow Computer (GFC Plus) Instruction Manual (CI-ControlWave GFC Plus) 7. The UL listed nonincendive ControlWave GFC Plus may include radio/modem communications (listed on the model specification) that is used in conjunction with a 5W, 12V, 7AH lead acid battery system. Connection to the radio or modem is approved as a nonincendive circuit, so that Division 2 wiring methods are not required.
