By adhering to such industry standards as Ethernet, TCP/IP, Microsoft Windows,
COM/DCOM, FTP, OLE and ActiveX, ControlWave is able to achieve the highest degree of
openness in control system architecture and bring the optimal process efficiency and
productivity needed to ensure a successful system implementation.
1A.2.2 ControlWave Designer with ACCOL III
To minimize your engineering and development time, we have adopted the international
standard for PLC programming, IEC 61131-3. ControlWave Designer is a fully IEC 61131-
3 compliant programming environment for the ControlWave family of products.
ControlWave Designer includes all five IEC 61131-3 process languages for batch,
continuous and discrete control. Function Block Diagram, Structured Text Sequential
Function Chart, Ladder Logic Diagram and Instruction List.
ControlWave Designer includes an extensive library of more than 200 basic IEC 61131-3
functions and function blocks common to many IEC 61131-3 based products. These include:
Flip-flops, Counters & Timers
Ladder diagram functions – coils and contacts, etc.
Numerical, Arithmetic & Boolean functions – Sine, Cosine, Add, Sub, Square Root, And,
Or, etc.
Selection & Comparison – Min, Max, Greater than, Equal, Less than, etc.
Type conversions – Integer to Real, Boolean to Word, etc.
1A.2.3 ACCOL III
In addition to the basic functions and function blocks, ControlWave Designer brings the
benefit of over twenty years of SCADA and plant control experience in Bristol Babcock’s
ACCOL III function block library. ACCOL III includes over sixty function blocks valuable
for use in oil & gas, water & waste and process measurement & control applications.
Further, ACCOL III is designed to take full advantage of the significant features offered by
ControlWave.
