 ControlWave Micro Quick Setup Guide

Chapter 1 – Setting up the Hardware

Note: Depending upon how you order it, your ControlWave
Micro may ship from the factory already assembled, or as a
separate housing and modules you must install yourself. If
you order it pre-assembled, you can omit those portions of
this chapter that discuss installation of individual modules.
Hardware setup involves unpacking the ControlWave Micro
hardware, mounting the housing, installing I/O modules, wiring
I/O terminations, making proper ground connections, connecting a
communication cable to the PC workstation and setting switches.
The figure, below, shows the base housing with the Power Supply
Sequencer Module (PSSM – two different models shown), CPU
Module, and six I/O modules with bezels installed. Your unit may
have different options. The full hardware installation process is
described in detail in Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 of CI-ControlWave
Micro. An overview of the steps is included, below:

ControlWave Micro Quick Setup Guide

1. Remove the base housing from its carton and install it at its
assigned work site. (See Section 2.2 of CI-ControlWave
Micro.)
2. Remove any expansion housing units from their cartons, and
attach them to the base housing. (See Section 2.2 of CI-
ControlWave Micro.)
3. Remove the Power Supply Sequencer Module (PSSM) from its
carton. (See Section 2.3 of CI-ControlWave Micro.) Set
jumpers based on your power DC power requirements (see
Section 2.3.3 of CI-ControlWave Micro). Install the PSSM into
base housing slot 1, that is, the first slot from the left end of the
installed unit.
4. Remove the CPU module from its carton. (See Section 2.4 of
CI-ControlWave Micro.) Enable the backup battery by
installing backup battery board jumper JP8 onto pins 1 and 2.
(See Section 2.4.1 of CI-ControlWave Micro.) Now, you must
set CPU module DIP Switches.
Notes:
 CPU Module DIP Switches must be configured before the
CPU module has been installed into the base housing. (See
Section 2.4.2 of CI-ControlWave Micro.)
 For the initial configuration activities described in this manual,
we recommend you leave the CPU switch settings in their
default positions, as set at the factory as follows:
o Switch bank SW1: all switches in the OFF position.
o Switch bank SW2: all switches in the ON position, except
for SW2-4, which should be OFF.

5. Install the CPU module into base housing slot 2, which is the
second slot from the left end of the installed unit.
6. For the configuration activities, described in this manual, we
will use RS-232 serial communication port 2 (Comm Port 2) on
the ControlWave Micro, which is configured by default for
9600 baud. (For more information on RS-232 serial
communication ports see Section 2.4.3 of CI-ControlWave
Micro).
7. Plug one end of an RS-232 null modem cable into one of your
PC communication ports.
Note: See Figure 2-17 in CI-ControlWave Micro for a wiring
diagram of an RS-232 null modem cable.
8. Plug the other end of the RS-232 null modem cable into serial
communication port 2 (Comm Port 2) of the ControlWave
Micro.

9. If you purchased any Expansion Communication Module(s),

you can remove them from their cartons, configure them, and
install them now, otherwise, skip to the next step. (See Section
2.5 of CI-ControlWave Micro for information on Expansion
Communication Modules.) The first expansion communication
module must reside in ControlWave Micro base housing slot
#3. If you have a second expansion communication module, it
must reside in ControlWave Micro base housing slot #4.
Note: You cannot install Expansion Communication Module(s) in
the expansion housing, only in the base housing.
10. Remove any I/O Modules from their cartons and install them
into the appropriate housing slots. (See Chapter 3 of CI-
ControlWave Micro). See the table, below for information on
which slots to use.
Table 1-1. Housing Slots Which Can Hold I/O Modules

Housing Type Slots which can hold I/O Modules

3-slot base housing Slot 3 if not occupied by an expansion
communication module
4-slot base housing Slot 3 and Slot 4 (if they are not occupied by
expansion communication modules)
8-slot base housing Slot 3 and Slot 4 (if they are not occupied by
expansion communication modules), Slot 5, Slot
6, Slot 7, Slot 8
2-slot expansion Both slots
housing
4-slot expansion All 4 slots
housing
8-slot expansion All 8 slots
housing

Note: In ControlWave Designer’s I/O Configurator, you must

enter the I/O slot number for each I/O module and configure
the module. The I/O Slot number is not the same as the
housing slot number. The housing slots which hold the
power supply and CPU boards are not considered to be I/O
slots, so the first I/O slot (I/O slot 1) is typically the third
housing slot (housing slot 3).
11. Install I/O wiring to each I/O module (see Chapter 3 of CI-
ControlWave Micro).
12. Install a ground wire between the housing ground lug and a
known good Earth ground (See Section 2.2.3 of CI-
ControlWave Micro.)
13. Install Watchdog /MOSFET Switch wiring (see Section 2.3.7
of CI-ControlWave Micro). (OPTIONAL - perform this step
only if you want to use this feature.)

Chassis Ground CHASSIS
Figure 1-2. Wiring for Bulk DC Power

15. Install the bezel(s) so the I/O modules are covered. (See
Section 2.6 of CI-ControlWave MICRO.)
16. Turn the RUN/REMOTE/LOCAL key switch to the LOCAL
position or set the PSSM’s Mode Switch to Local mode, which
is SW1-1 on PSSM UP (Open) and SW1-2 on PSSM DOWN
(Closed).
17. Apply power to the ControlWave Micro controller.
18. When the ControlWave Micro completes its power-on
sequence, status LEDs 5 and 6 on the PSSM module should be
ON. (This indicates the ControlWave Micro does not have any
application program loaded. If you see other LEDs lit, see
Table 5-2 of manual CI-ControlWave Micro which has a list of
LED status codes and their meanings. Figure 5-5 of CI-
ControlWave Micro shows how the various LED patterns
correspond to the status codes.

LEDs “5” and “6”

should be lit.

 ControlWave Micro Quick Setup Guide

Chapter 3 – Creating a Simple Project in Ladder

Language (LD)
Now, let's create a very simple project to run in your ControlWave
Micro. Let's say we have a water tank - when the water level in the
tank goes below a certain level, a WATER_LOW signal is turned
ON, and as a result, a START_PUMP signal needs to be turned
ON to refill the tank. Similarly, we want to issue a START_PUMP
signal any time the drain valve for the tank is open. Our project is
so simple, we aren't going to handle turning off the pump, or what
happens if the tank overflows; we just want to show how either of
two conditions cause the pump to be started.
Note: We won't be defining the I/O for this project; we're keeping
it as simple as possible.
3.1 Connect the PC Workstation to the ControlWave Micro
1. Plug one end of a null modem cable into your PC serial port.
2. Plug the other end of the cable into one of the RS-232 serial
communication ports on the ControlWave Micro.
Note: Later in this chapter, you’ll need to know the baud rate of
the ControlWave Micro serial port. See Table 4-1 in CI-
ControlWave Micro for details on factory default baud rates
for the ControlWave Micro serial ports.

3.2 Start ControlWave Designer:

Click Start>Programs>OpenBSI Tools> ControlWave
Tools>ControlWave Designer
If this is the very first time ControlWave Designer has been started on
Caution this particular computer, you will be reminded to register the
software. Otherwise, the software can only be used for a maximum of
60 days. For more information on the registration process, see

Chapter 4 – Configuring RTU Parameters

Note: This chapter assumes you already have a communication
cable connected between the OpenBSI workstation and the
ControlWave Micro.
Now that you've created a project, and downloaded it successfully,
it's time to learn more about configuring the ControlWave Micro.
The configuration in this part is performed using the Flash
Configuration Utility.
We’re going to talk about using the Flash Configuration Utility to
set your ControlWave Micro’s soft switches, configure its
communication ports, set IP parameters, and configure security
accounts for its users.
4.1 Starting the Flash Configuration Utility

4.2 Using the Flash Configuration Utility

You can start the Flash Configuration Utility through NetView,
LocalView, or TechView. It allows you to specify all the major
configuration parameters for the ControlWave Micro. As part of
this manual, we will only discuss those parts of the Flash
Configuration Utility which are important for a first-time
ControlWave Micro user to know in order to get a ControlWave
Micro “up and running.” The OpenBSI Utilities Manual (D5081)
includes more detailed instructions for using the Flash
Configuration Utility.
Certain options in the Flash Configuration utility don’t require you
to establish communications with the RTU, for example, writing
flash data to the NETDEF file. If while the utility begins to
establish communications you decide you want to use the utility
offline, you can click Cancel Initialization and Continue to do
that. If, for some reason, the utility cannot establish

ControlWave Micro Quick Setup Guide

communications, you can shut down the utility if you click on

Cancel Initialization and Abort.

Figure 4-12. Cancel Initialization dialog box

Once the Flash Configuration utility establishes communication

with the RTU, you can optionally specify the source for the initial
parameters displayed in the utility Figure 4-13).

This prompts you to log into the RTU. The

utility then loads the current parameters from
the RTU into the Flash Configuration utility
pages.

This prompts you to specify the location and

filename of a Flash Configuration Profile
(FCP) file. FCP files are files you can use to
store flash parameters on the OpenBSI
workstation. This simplifies your
configuration because once you store these
parameters in an FCP file you can optionally
re-use the FCP file to load the same flash
parameters into a different RTU. That way,
you don’t have to re-enter everything for
each RTU.
This choice causes the utility to load flash
parameters from the current NETDEF file into
the pages of the utility. Note: Only choose
this option if you start the Flash
Configuration utility from within NetView or

4.2.1 Flash Configuration Utility Buttons

The Flash Configuration utility contains several buttons, primarily
for read/write file operations. Some of these operations prompt you
to sign on to the ControlWave before you can proceed. The Flash
Configuration utility buttons include:
Button Description
Apply New Node Use this button only when you start the Flash
Configuration utility from within NetView (since you cannot
access other nodes in the Select New Node dialog box
within LocalView or TechView).

Revised: Aug-2015 Configuring RTU Parameters 4-9

ControlWave Micro Quick Setup Guide

This option allows you to close the session with the current
controller, and then select a different controller for
configuration, in the Select New Node dialog box, without
reinitializing the values in the pages of the utility. A
definition for the new controller must exist within the
NETDEF files.

One application of this is for you to open a session with

a new node, and then load configuration information
from the NETDEF file(s) for a different node (via Read
From NDF). This is useful if you want multiple nodes to
share similar configurations; you can load the common
configuration into the utility, and then you only need to
modify the portions unique to each individual controller.

Sign On You must use this to sign-on to the controller with a

username and password prior to reading or writing flash
parameters.

Note: If you do NOT sign on, the first time you attempt a
read/write operation with the controller, the system
prompts you to sign on.

Set Password (Ignore – does not apply to ControlWave series)

Read From RTU Click here to read the current configuration characteristics
directly from the controller, and copy them into the pages
of the Flash Configuration Utility. You can subsequently
store these in the NETDEF using the Write To NDF
button, to avoid the need to re-enter the same
configuration details inside NetView.

you to confirm you want to write to the flash memory.

The Flash Configuration Utility displays the progress of the

save operation.

After the write operation to the ControlWave completes,

the Flash Configuration Utility assesses whether or not
the changes require you to reset the ControlWave. If the
utility determines that you must reset it prompts you to
do so.
During the reset process, your controller performs no
Warning measurement or control of your process. Ensure you have backup

Click Yes for OpenBSI to stop any currently running

project and reboot the ControlWave unit immediately;
changes then take effect. Click No if you want to manually
reboot the unit later; changes do not take effect until the
reboot.

Read From FCP Click here to read the current configuration of this
controller, as specified in a Flash Configuration Profile
file (*.FCP), and copy it into the pages of the Flash
Configuration Utility. You can then subsequently copy
the configuration into the controller using the Write To
RTU button.

The Flash Configuration utility does not perform any validation

Caution checks on an FCP file when it opens it. Therefore, we recommend
you do NOT attempt to edit the FCP file manually with a text editor,
because you could corrupt the profile file. Recommended best
practice is to edit the FCP only through the Flash Configuration
utility.

Write To FCP Click here to copy all entries made in the Flash
Configuration Utility for the current controller into the
Flash Configuration Profile file (*.FCP).

Read From NDF If you click here, the utility reads the current
configuration of this controller as specified in NetView's
NETDEF files, and copies it into the pages of the Flash
Configuration Utility. This can be particularly useful in a
situation where the CPU board of a controller fails, and
you need to configure a replacement board. This
option allows you to call up the configuration from the
NETDEF, and subsequently copy it into the controller
using the Write To RTU button.
Note: Only choose this option if you start the Flash
Configuration utility from within NetView or TechView,
or if you specify an NDF file in LocalView Configure
mode Don’t choose this if you are running LocalView
in other modes (Flash, IP Comm, Local) because
LocalView uses its own temporary NETDEF file which
only exists during the LocalView session and
disappears on program exit.

 ControlWave Micro Quick Setup Guide

Write To NDF If you click here, the utility copies all entries you made
in the Flash Configuration Utility for the current
controller into the current NETDEF file. This avoids the
need to re-enter the same configuration information in
NetView.

Note: Only choose this option if you start the Flash

Configuration utility from within NetView or TechView,
or if you specify an NDF file in LocalView Configure
mode. Don’t choose this if you are running LocalView
in other modes (Flash, IP Comm, Local) because
LocalView uses its own temporary NETDEF file which
only exists during the LocalView session and
disappears on program exit.

Close Click here to shut down the Flash Configuration Utility.

The various configuration settings are separated into different
pages of the utility. You can access them by clicking on the tab for
a particular page. The different pages include:
 Soft Switches - the most important of these is the BSAP local
address of the controller.
 Ports - this includes all communication ports on the
ControlWave Micro - up to eleven serial ports (COM1 through
COM11), and one or two Ethernet IP ports. Note:: The number
of ports varies depending upon the type of CPU module you
purchased and whether or not you purchased expansion
communication modules for your ControlWave Micro.
 IP Parameters - if this controller performs IP
communications, certain parameters such as the IP address of
the Network Host PC (NHP), UDP socket numbers, and the
address of the default gateway must be configured. Some of the
parameters on this page are outside the scope of this manual.
 Application Parameters - Most of these are “tuning”
parameters which govern how the ControlWave Micro
executes its application (project). A discussion of application
parameters is outside the scope of this manual.
 Archive - Archive data is one portion of the historical
capabilities of the ControlWave MICRO controller. It allows
‘snapshots’ of many variables to be saved at the same instant,
to provide a detailed historical record of process variables at a
particular moment in time. The archive data is saved at the
controller, in structures called archive files and is configured,
in part, using the ARCHIVE function block in your
ControlWave project. Archive files may be collected by
OpenBSI Utilities such as DataView, or the Harvester. A
discussion of archive configuration is outside the scope of this
manual.

Revised: Aug-2015 Configuring RTU Parameters 4-13

ControlWave Micro Quick Setup Guide

 Audit - Audit data is one portion of the historical capabilities

of the ControlWave MICRO controller. It allows records to be
kept of when certain variables change value, as well as
recording all alarms in the system. The Audit page specifies
various parameters used to set up the Audit system.
Configuration is also performed, in part, using the AUDIT
function block in your ControlWave project. A discussion of
audit configuration is outside the scope of this manual.
 IP Routes - Dynamic IP routes allow messages which cannot
successfully reach a particular destination address, to be re-
routed through a different path in the IP network. A discussion
of this subject is outside the scope of this manual.
 Security - This page allows configuration of user accounts and
privileges.
4.3 Setting Soft Switches
The ControlWave Micro controller, unlike earlier Network 3000
controller models, does not have physical DIP switches for setting
the BSAP local address or EBSAP group number. Instead, you
configure these from the Soft Switches tab of the Flash
Configuration Utility.
Field Description
Local Address The default "Local Address" for a ControlWave Micro,
when it ships from the factory, is 1. Local addresses are
integer values from 1 to 127, and OpenBSI uses them to
identify the location of a controller in a network. The local
address of a particular controller must be unique within the
network. The local address you enter here must match the
local address you define in NetView.

Note: If you change the local address, be sure to make

note of the new address because you will need to
know it to communicate with this ControlWave in
subsequent communication sessions, and if you
want to include this ControlWave in a BSAP
network. If you’re just setting up a single
ControlWave Micro to experiment with, you should
leave the local address at the default of 1.
EBSAP Group Leave the "EBSAP Group" number at 0, unless your
network is configured for Expanded Node Addressing
(EBSAP). EBSAP adds a level of complexity to network
configuration, and is only necessary in very large networks
where more than 127 slave controllers are defined
underneath a given master controller, and for whatever
reason, BSAP communication is required, instead of IP
communication. For more information about Expanded Node
Addressing, see the ControlWave Designer Programmer’s
Handbook (D5125).

Click Write To RTU, and the utility sends the new configuration
parameter values to FLASH memory in the ControlWave Micro.
Depending upon which parameters you change, you may need to
reset the unit for the changes to take effect.

4.4 Setting Up a BSAP Slave Port

You can configure any of the ControlWave Micro’s serial COM
ports as a BSAP Slave port. BSAP stands for Bristol Synchronous
/ Asynchronous Protocol. It is a protocol used for communication
by ControlWave and Network 3000 controllers.
You can use a BSAP Slave Port to:
 communicate with OpenBSI software on the PC (such as.
NetView, LocalView, DataView, and other programs)
 communicate with ControlWave Designer software on the PC
 communicate with another controller on a higher level of the
BSAP network, which has a BSAP Master Port that addresses
this controller
To configure the BSAP slave port, follow these steps.
1. Click the Ports tab, if you haven't already.
2. Click the icon for the ControlWave Micro port you want to
configure as a BSAP Slave Port. Depending upon how many
serial ports your ControlWave Micro has, a valid choice could
range from COM1 through COM11.

other end of the
communication line.
Figure 4-16. Configuring a BSAP Slave Port

3. Choose BSAP Slave from the "Mode" list box.

4. Choose the desired baud rate from the "Baud Rate" field. This
must match the baud rate configured in whichever other
software is communicating with this controller, for example,
the BSAP communication line in OpenBSI, the serial DLL in
ControlWave Designer, or the BSAP Master Port in another
controller.
5. At this point, you can proceed to configure other ports, or go to
other pages of the Flash Configuration Utility.
Note: In a multi-level BSAP network, if you define more than one
BSAP Slave Port, or one or more BSAP Slave Ports and
one or more Ethernet Ports (described later), you should
remember than only one of those ports is considered to be
the network slave port. The Network Slave Port is the only
port, among all the serial Slave Ports and Ethernet ports.
that serves as the upward route for message traffic to the
Network Master. To designate a port as the network slave
port, you must specify the proper port number in the
_SLAVE_PORT system variable using the System Variable
Wizard. This subject is discussed in the ControlWave
Designer Programmer’s Handbook (D5125).

4.4.1 Saving Changes When You Finish

Click Write To RTU, and the utility sends the new configuration
parameter values to FLASH memory in the ControlWave Micro.
Depending upon which parameters you change, you may need to
reset the unit for the changes to take effect.

4.5 Setting Up an Ethernet Port

A ControlWave Micro can contain zero, one, or two Ethernet
Ports, depending upon which communication options you
purchase.
1. Click the Ports tab, if you haven't already.
2. Choose the Ethernet port (ENET1).
3. Specify an "IP ADDR A" and "IP MASK" for this port. IP
addresses must be unique within your network. Conversely, IP
masks are typically the same for all devices in the same portion
of a network. Together, the IP Address and IP Mask define a
range of addresses to which this port can send messages. (See
4.5.1 Recommended Ranges for IP Addresses.) Basically, a
non-zero value in any of the "IP MASK" fields indicates that
the corresponding "IP ADDR A" field is specifying a portion
of the IP address which must be identically matched with every
destination IP address to which this port will send messages. A
zero value in any of the "IP MASK" fields means that this
communication port can send messages to addresses in which
any integer from (0 to 255) is considered valid for that
corresponding portion of the destination IP address.

Revised: Aug-2015 Configuring RTU Parameters 4-17

ControlWave Micro Quick Setup Guide

Scroll
down and
select the

port.

Specify the IP address and the IP mask.

Figure 4-17. Setting the IP Address and Mask for the Ethernet Port

In Figure 4-17, the "IP ADDR A" for the port is 10.23.19.1 and
the "IP MASK" is 255.255.0.0. This means that this port can send
to any address in the format 10.23.y.z where y and z are any integer
from 0 to 255. So, 10.23.127.76 and 10.23.35.93 would be valid
destinations, but 24.1.1.1 would not because the 255 in the "IP
MASK" indicates that the corresponding portion of the "IP
ADDR A" MUST be 10.
Notes:
 Leave the IP ADDR B field blank. It is reserved for redundant
operations which we will not discuss in this manual.
 There are other restrictions, for example, the non-zero mask
entries must be all be in contiguous fields, and must begin in
the left-most portion of the address. More details on these
subjects are included in the OpenBSI Utilities Manual (D5081).
 In newer ControlWave units, all Ethernet ports are pre-
programmed at the factory with an initial IP address and mask.
The optional Ethernet ports on the ControlWave Micro would
default to the addresses shown below:
Port: Default IP Address: Default IP Mask:
ETH1 10.0.1.1 255.255.255.0
ETH2 10.0.2.1 255.255.255.0

 ControlWave Micro Quick Setup Guide

Because each unit shipping from the factory will have these
addressesinitially pre-programmed, you should only use these
addresses for “bench” testing and configuration. Each address
must be changed before putting the ControlWave unit on
an actual network, since an address conflict would exist as
soon as the second ControlWave unit was placed online.

4. At this point, you can proceed to configure other ports, or go to

other pages of the Flash Configuration Utility.

4.5.1 Recommended Ranges for IP Addresses

If you are intend to connect your controller network directly to the
global world-wide Internet, you must obtain a range of IP
addresses from your Internet service provider (ISP) or from an
Internet governing body such as the Internet Assigned Numbers
Authority (IANA).
If you have no plans to connect your network to the global
Internet, there is no restriction on your choice of IP addresses,
however, the Internet Engineering Task Force recommends that IP
addresses for private networks should be assigned from the
following ranges:
 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
Note: For information on the Internet Engineering Task Force
recommendation see Rekhter, et al, Best Current Practice
memo - "Address Allocation for Private Internets", Internet
Engineering Task Force, RFC 1918, February, 1996. The
full text of this memo is available at http://www.ietf.org.
These particular ranges of Internet addresses are reserved for
private networks. Most Internet Service Providers (ISP) recognize
any messages coming from these addresses as coming from private
networks, and filter these messages out. This helps avoid
addressing conflicts should an accidental connection occur
between a private network, and the global Internet.
Devices (e.g. controllers, workstations) in our controller networks
always use fixed IP addresses. This causes certain complexities if
you choose to use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
in your network. Because DHCP assigns IP addresses dynamically,
as they are needed, you must examine your DHCP server to
determine the addresses which have been assigned for each
controller or workstation, and then manually enter those addresses
in NetView. You should then specify the longest possible lease

ControlWave Micro Quick Setup Guide

time for the addresses, to help prevent the loss of a given address
through a device failure.
It is also strongly recommended that you configure the DHCP
server so that the addresses reserved for the controllers are
permanently reserved (by tying them to the RTU MAC addresses
within the DHCP configuration or by having them in a totally
different address range). You should do the same when you
configure RAS servers or other machines capable of providing
dynamic addressing information. Otherwise, you could
accidentally have duplicate IP addresses on your network.

4.5.2 Other Port Types:

There are several other possible port types which can be
configured: “PPP,” “BSAP Master,” and others. These subjects are
beyond the scope of this manual. See the online help in
ControlWave Designer as well as Chapter 5 of the OpenBSI
Utilities Manual (D5081) for more information.

4.5.3 Saving Changes When You Finish

Click Write To RTU, and the utility sends the new configuration
parameter values to FLASH memory in the ControlWave Micro.
Depending upon which parameters you change, you may need to
reset the unit for the changes to take effect.

Configuring IP Parameters

4.6 Setting IP Parameters

IP parameters determine how the ControlWave Micro
communicates over an IP (Internet Protocol) network.
Enter the primary IP address for this controller’s Network Host PC (NHP)
If the same NHP has a second IP address, or you have a redundant
backup NHP, enter the address here. If neither of these situations
apply, leave this at all zeroes.

These are socket numbers used for IP Any messages with destination IP
communications. All controllers and OpenBSI addresses not reachable within this

the same IBP and Time Synch numbers. This
is a security feature, so we recommend you
alter the defaults shown here.

Figure 4-18. Specifying IP Parameters

Field Description
NHPs The Network Host PC (NHP) is any PC workstation
running OpenBSI (Version 3.0 or newer) which has a
network of one or more controllers. A controller on an IP
network will only accept time synchronization messages,
node routing tables (NRT), and alarm destinations, from its
NHP's IP addresses.

Revised: Aug-2015 Configuring RTU Parameters 4-21

ControlWave Micro Quick Setup Guide

IP ADDR A This is the primary IP address of the Network Host PC

(NHP) which has the network which includes this
controller.

IP ADDR B If the NHP identified above (in IP ADDR A) has a second

IP address, that address may be entered here, in case the
primary connection is broken. Alternatively, if there is a
redundant backup NHP, its address should be entered
here. If neither of these cases apply, "IP ADDR B" should
be left at all zeroes.
UDP Ports UDP ports (sometimes referred to as sockets) have
nothing to do with physical communication port hardware.
They actually refer to entry points within the UDP
communication protocol software (which is an industry
standard Internet Protocol). The underlying details of UDP
are beyond the scope of this document, but the
parameters are included here as a security feature.
IBP IBP is the UDP port used by the IP driver software. Every
OpenBSI Workstation and controller in a given network,
which need to communicate via IP, MUST share the same
IBP UDP socket number. For security purposes, we
recommend you change the IBP port number to something
other than the default value shown. This is particularly
important if your network has a connection to the world-wide
Internet.
Time Synch This is the UDP port used to send time synchronization
messages to controllers. Every OpenBSI Workstation and
controller in a given network, which needs to communicate
via IP, must share the same time synch UDP socket
number. For security purposes, it is recommended that
you change the IBP port number to something other than
the default value shown. This is particularly important if
your network has a connection to the world-wide Internet.

Gateway
If this controller receives any messages for which it cannot
Default G/W locate a direct route to a destination address, it sends
them to the default gateway's IP address, as specified in
this field. A default gateway is a device (PC workstation,
remote process controller, router) which receives these
messages, and attempts to route them to their destination.

SNMP, RIP Protocol, Dynamic IP Routing Ping, Challenge Protocol:

These IP parameters are used in more complicated
network configurations, and to meet certain special IP
security requirements. Explanations are beyond the scope
of this document.

4.7 Configuring Usernames and Passwords
The Security page of the Flash Configuration Utility allows you to
create usernames and passwords for ControlWave Micro users, and
to define privileges for the users. This allows you to restrict who
has access to various features and functions of the ControlWave
Micro.
To access the Security page, click the Security tab.

Figure 4-19. Security Tab

4.7.1 Adding a New User

A ControlWave Micro controller can support up to 240 different
users. To add a user, enter the user’s name (up to 16 characters
long) in the “Username” field, and enter a password (up to 16
characters long) for the user in the “Password” and “Verify”
fields. The password will not appear as you type it.
Note: Some OpenBSI programs such as DataView, Downloader,
and others, which communicate with the ControlWave
Micro only support shorter usernames and passwords (ten
characters or less for the username, six characters or less for
the password) so you may want to reduce the length of each
username and password to conform to these limits. Also, to
communicate with this ControlWave using these programs,
passwords must be UPPERCASE.

Next, select the privileges for this user by clicking “Custom” and
then select the individual privileges in the “Privileges” list box, so
they are highlighted. Alternatively, you can choose "Operator,"
"Engineer" or "Administrator" for a particular user, which
automatically highlights privileges associated with those user
categories. The tables, on the next page, show the privileges
associated with these user categories, and list what all the various
privileges mean.
When you have selected all desired privileges, click the Add
button to add the user to the system.
Note: Every ControlWave Micro has a special user called
RDB_Max. This user account defines the maximum
privileges allowed for RDB protocol messages coming into
the ControlWave Micro. (Programs such as DataView, the
Harvester, and others use RDB messages to communicate.)
You cannot delete the RDB_Max user, or rename it, but you
can change its privileges.

Appendix A – Troubleshooting Tips

Here are some common questions that arise when first using the
ControlWave Micro:
I made changes to configuration parameters in the ControlWave
Micro (such as the port type or the local address) but the old settings
are still in effect. How come?
For certain new settings to take effect, you must first reset the unit (turn
the unit off, then turn it back on). The other reason this can occur is if
you still have the default switch (SW2-3) in the OFF position. Changes
to soft switches are ignored when SW2-3 is OFF.

When I try to download a project to the ControlWave Micro, I get an

“Access locked by Switch” message in the Sign On dialog box. What
does that mean?
This typically refers to the key switch which is just above COM port 1
on the ControlWave Micro. In order to download a project, you must set
this switch to either the “REMOTE” or “LOCAL” position, depending
upon whether you are communicating serially, or using TCP/IP. (Serial
communications from ControlWave Designer require the switch be in
the “LOCAL” position; TCP/IP communications support either
“REMOTE” or “LOCAL”.) OpenBSI downloads can occur with the
switch in either the “REMOTE” or “LOCAL” position.

If you see this message,

check to see if the key
switch is in the “RUN”
position. If it is, you
need to turn it to either
“LOCAL” or “REMOTE.”

I am able to connect to the ControlWave Micro, but Internet Explorer

returns a “-404 File Not Found” error when I try to call up a web
page.
Make sure you have the correct path and filename configured for the
web page.

I tried to start ControlWave Designer to communicate with the

ControlWave Micro, but I got the message “Could not attach to serial
port.” What causes that?

Revised: Aug-2015 Troubleshooting Tips A-1

ControlWave Micro Quick Setup Guide

This can occur if some other program is already using the serial port on
the PC. For example, while you run NetView to communicate with the
ControlWave Micro, you cannot use the same PC port simultaneously to
communicate directly, using ControlWave Designer. You can, however,
start ControlWave Designer from within NetView; and let OpenBSI
handle communications.
