Technical Specifications

ControlWave
Process Automation Controller
®
The ControlWave PAC is a highly adaptable
Process Automation Controller with exceptional
networking capability. Designed with an emphasis
on scalability and modularity, the ControlWave PAC
can be configured to maximize the performance of a
wide range of control systems. Emerson has
developed this innovative controller to provide cost-
effective solutions by minimizing the time required
for installation and configuration.
The ControlWave PAC combines the elements of a
PLC and an RTU without compromising the unique
features and capabilities of each device. The
ControlWave PAC provides a modular architecture,
expandable I/O capacity, and Ethernet networking
capability that introduces the possibilities of open
architecture for emerging communication standards
and provides a simple solution for existing networks.

PAC
Base Unit
The ControlWave PAC base unit is constructed of a
stainless steel housing that contains the CPU,
power supply, and is available with a 4 or 8 I/O
slots. These slots are used to add optional I/O
modules.
CPU Options
The ControlWave PAC has a 100 MHz CPU module
that contains 2 MB of SRAM, 64 MB of SDRAM,
and 32 MB of flash memory. The CPU module is
available with the following on-board communication
port configurations:
One Ethernet port and two RS-232 ports
One Ethernet port, three RS-232 ports, and one
RS-485 port
Three Ethernet ports, three RS-232 ports, and
one RS-485 port
Three Ethernet ports, two RS-232 ports, and
two RS-485 ports
Power Modules
The power module is installed in the first slot of the
ControlWave PAC base unit and provides power to
the rest of the device. Two power modules are
available including:
24 volt input power supply sequencer module
24 volt redundant power supply sequencer
module
Open Network Connectivity
By embracing the open systems network
technologies available through TCP/IP, Ethernet,
OPC, and Microsoft DNA (as well as pseudo
standards such as Modbus and Open Modbus) the
ControlWave PAC provides a total process
automation management solution for in-plant
LAN-based and wide area network SCADA
systems. Access to real-time data and operating
conditions, historical data, maintenance, and
performance data stored in the ControlWave PAC is
available to the global network.
