PAC

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.

Base Unit

The ControlWave PAC base unit is constructed of an

aluminum 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.
