ControlWave products have been designed and integrated as a highly
adaptable, high performance distributed open controller family with
exceptional networking capability that provides a complete process
automation management solution for the natural gas, water, and
wastewater industries. The ControlWave Micro was designed with an
emphasis on providing high performance with low power consumption,
scalability, and modularity.
Base housings are available with backplanes that support one, two or six
I/O modules. Optional expansion housings attach to either the 4- or 8-
slot base housing and support two, four, or eight I/O modules.
Note: The 3-slot base housing does not include a plug-in connection to
any expansion housings.
Features
ControlWave Micros have the following key features:
 Exceptional performance and low power consumption through use
of the ARM microprocessor
 Small size (enabling panel- or wall-mount installations)
 One or two RS-232 and one RS-485 asynchronous serial
communication ports
 One or two optional 10/100 MB Ethernet ports
 Optional Expansion Communication modules (ECOMs) with
optional built-in modem and/or radio
