function blocks accomplish various tasks common to most user applications including
alarming, historical data storage, as well as process control algorithms such as PID
control.
The OPC Server (Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) for Process Control) allows
•
real-time data access to any OPC [Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) for Process
Control] compliant third-party software packages.
•
A set of ControlWave EFM web pages is provided to set configuration parameters for
the standard gas flow measurement project, running in the unit. These web pages use
Bristol Babcock-specific ActiveX controls for retrieval of real-time data values and
communication statistics from the unit. The ActiveX controls are compatible with
Microsoft® Internet Explorer. Alternatively, developers can place the ActiveX controls
in third-party ActiveX compatible containers such as Visual BASIC or Microsoft® Excel.
•
User-defined Web Pages – Users can place the same ActiveX controls into their own
web pages to provide a customized human-machine interface (HMI) to the Control-
Wave EFM.
•
Flash Configuration Utility – Parameters such as the BSAP local address, IP ad-
dress, etc. are set using the Flash Configuration Utility, accessible via Open BSI
LocalView or NetView. The ControlWave EFM ships with a standard Flash Con-
figuration Profile (FCP) file, with default configuration parameters already set.
