PRODUCT FAMILY COMPATIBILITY
ControlWave GFC Plus is compatible with Em-
erson’s ControlWave family. It is fully software-
compatible with ControlWave GFC, ControlWave
XFC, ControlWave EFM, ControlWave Micro and
the ControlWave Process Automation Controller
(PAC). The ControlWave PAC provides the highest
I/O capacity and supports up to three Ethernet ports
as well as redundancy.
This family compatibility is a major benet to users
whose operations include a number of larger instal-
lations in addition to those that require ow comput-
ers. ControlWave family products are capable of all
measurement & control functions at sites such as
major, custody-transfer metering stations, compres-
sor stations, off-shore platforms, processing plants
and storage facilities.
Users will not only appreciate the similarity in much
of the hardware but will also nd the documentation,
networking and software compatibilities to be key to
their asset management.
Open standards for programming, network con-
guration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 efciency
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 program-
ming environment for the ControlWave family of
products. ControlWave Designer includes all ve
IEC 61131-3 process languages for batch, continu-
ous 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 & Boolean functions •
– Sine, Cosine, Add, Sub, Square Root, And,
Or, etc.
Selection & Comparison – Min, Max, Greater •
than, Equal, Less than, etc.
Type conversions – Integer to Real, Boolean to •
Word, etc.
