Emerson Process Management ControlWave EFM 3808 - Manual (Page 23)

CI-ControlWave EFM Introduction / 1-7
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.
