Additional, standard application programs will •
be introduced on a continual basis.
TeleFlow users will appreciate the compatibility •
of ControlWave GFC Plus in networking and
software solutions for SCADA and EFM data
editing/management, as well as the similarity in
all operations.
APPLICATION AREAS
ControlWave GFC Plus is appropriate to all applica-
tions for “chart replacements” and ow computers,
particularly including those that require process
control or extension to two meter runs, for example:
Production wells•
Injection wells•
Production optimization applications•
Off-shore platforms•
Separation plants•
Compressor stations•
Storage facilities•
Transmission metering stations•
Distribution/LDC metering/gate stations•
CONTROLWAVE GFC PLUS VS.
CONTROLWAVE GFC
Use of the larger “Plus” enclosure, which accom-
modates a 33 AH lead acid cell battery and “snap
track” options, distinguishes ControlWave GFC Plus
from ControlWave GFC.
The larger battery, used in conjunction with either
a 30-watt or 40-watt solar panel, allows radios to
be operated on fast duty cycle. Since ControlWave
GFC uses the smaller, 7 AH battery, slow duty cycle
radio operation, only, is recommended for that
product.
The larger battery in ControlWave GFC Plus also
provides extra capacity for I/O and is recommended
if loop power is to be sourced, internally.
Finally, the “Plus” enclosure provides up to four,
snap track slots for options such as the Power
Distribution Board, 24 Vdc Loop Power Supply and
Relay Output Board. ControlWave GFC allows only
one such option, which is mounted in the door.
CONTROLWAVE GFC PLUS VS.
CONTROLWAVE EFM
The difference between these two products is that
ControlWave EFM uses a ControlWave Micro RTU
platform while ControlWave GFC Plus uses a
ControlWave Express RTU platform.
Choose ControlWave EFM instead of ControlWave
GFC Plus if the application requires communication
ports and/or I/O that are beyond those provided by
the ControlWave Express Platform.
